How-To Wing Surf with Robby Naish - Step 2 - Getting on the water

In this video I will show how to carry your Wing Surfer and board to and from the water, how to get up and ride on a non-foil board as well as how to ride a foil board with your Wing Surfer etc, . . .

[@pauljames9527]

This is the future of water sport, genius in it’s simplicity, well done Robby

[@uglybirds70]

Christina has the best coach ever! Legend!

[@TheSailingFamily]

Man, Robby, you have such a calming voice. You make it sound so easy!

[@dekzan]

Robby Naish is the best in many aspects. And great instructor. I watched his videos, all my anxiety about the sport was gone. Because he is calm and makes it all simple, not intimidating like many others. I'll make sure I buy from his brand, no other. His daughter, needless to say, makes it all looks possible to anyone.

[@KPNJ3470]

great stuff Robby...you are not only a great windsurfer/Wingsurfer but also your instruction is clear, measured and right on. Fun leaning this new sport "alongside" you - the legend.

[@samking4179]

Robby, I assume you invented this idea. You have been a credit to the human race for a long, long time! Thanks for everything you have done for people that love water sports!

[@AmericanMossad]

Hey I remember you from my windsurfing days 30 years ago. Well here I go again I’m going to do this.

[@adriennebelle6598]

Same here! My dad used to race with Nash. Just ordered my first wing - I’m going to use an old fanatic course board with a dagger to start. Although I wish I knew what SUP this is they are using

[@davidgaiakano9747]

Great video Robbie! I don't know if you remember me from the early days of stock one design windsurf racing, but I sure remember competing against you. I was the guy from Massachusetts that joined you and 4 other guys, as part of the first Olympic sailing decision demonstration regatta, prior to including sailboards as another triangle racing boat, in CO Springs. Years later your family loaned me equipment to compete in an open class regatta in Kailua, where we had awesome open ocean conditions for our long distance race around the rock! What a treat to see you and your daughter making instructional videos together after all these years! I'm thinking of getting into foil boarding, after a hiatus of any kind of windsurfing. The foils look so great and I've dreamed of foil sailing pretty much all my life! But I need to get all new equipment, so I'm looking at the wings as a simpler way to get back into the sport on a foil. Keep up the great work with the videos and be sure to tell your daughter she is awesome in the video!

[@alexanderwilkenloopartist]

Thank you Robby.....Since I am 12 years old it is always nice to get easy tips from you.I am starting now with wing Surfing/ Foiling :)… and after my first ,,wingflying session,, I will compose a smooth chill out song with sax 🎷☀️Aloha

[@ictabink]

Love to see you teaching your daughter. Hopefully I can teach mine soon ! 🤙

[@paulshapiro6119]

Loved it. Great having your daughter Christina a recent beginner (albeit with the best windsports coach AND GENES on the planet) demonstrate for you. Adds credibility.

[@uwcb1]

Brilliant video! I taught diving for a long time and your teaching style is really good. Thanks

[@paulbayani4143]

I'm 67 and just practiced on dry land with the wing this past weekend. I'll be putting some cattongue tape on the rails of the board I will be using as my hands have been slipping. I probably won't need it later but it will keep me from doing face plants LOL. Trying to learn on a 4'10" 96 liter board probably isn't ideal but I'm only about 63 kg and have windsurfed and windfoiled for a few years. Your video simplifies the concepts for me a lot. Get on the board from the windward side and keep the wing above my head! Thank you and Christina for giving me hope :)

[@karesala8885]

Windsurfers always forget the lift force of the wing at the beginning. Two tips never heard, many thanks Mr. Naish!

[@danielsack]

you were my surfing god in the 80ies & 90ies. along with dunkerbeck and mike eskimo. it seems that is you, who found a way of life that keeps you young. please share your anti-aging secrects! respect!

[@niyazioezel]

Awesome tutorial. We like windsurfing. Next Sommer we would like to try wing foiling. You are a very good teacher and your Student is really talented.

[@denizaytekin8551]

Tesadufen yorumu gordum. Turkiye'de bu sporu yapan var mi acaba? :)

[@juangarat8008]

Keep learning from you back in 80s windsurfing now fliying wing. Soon transition to foil.

[@correorodi]

robby your are the king! you can transmit so natural the feeling and subsequently acting on surf stuff. amazing! bravo and aloha

[@WenzelB6]

Thank for step-by-step instructions. Really short movie with all basics. Large board. Christine is smart, your comments are excellent.

[@arthousefilms]

Superb instructions and fantastic video coverage of the steps. This video is absolutely perfect. I am a surfer & windsurfer looking to convert.

[@wlyounce375]

I absolutely love this. Robby, you're already the King, but now the world is realizing that the Master is also the King of Windsports Instruction. Way to go and good on you for getting your daughter in on the action... Future Generations will benefit. I know mine will.

[@Michael-jl9fq]

Awesome tips for a beginner. Cheers Robby.

[@supboarderdad9888]

Great tips - watched this video many times - fab tips and calm approach from Robby and technique from Christine - a lot of which also transfers to land boarding in terms of wing management - thanks for the inspiration

[@stclairjones815]

Wow thanks for the simplicity of that learning that's the kind of learning that supports getting out there eventually I'll get out there

[@markjones3425]

Excellent instructional video Thank you Christina and Robby! Now I'm looking forward to learning this new to me sport with much less trepidation!

[@deadavid]

great instructor, pedagogue. Thank you Robby, and thank you Christina.

[@davidvincent7443]

Thanks Robby, I enjoy the ride pretty much. Can't wait the next one. Hello from Quebec, Canada.

[@hughdunbar9823]

Wow. That was an amazing,y clear and helpful video. Thanks! Looking forward to getting a SUP foil soon.

[@AdventureBrad]

Wow thanks so much for these videos!!! You have filled in many gaps in my understanding of all of this wing foil madness. Now to get out there myself.

[@windsurfboardshop734]

that 's remember me in 1979 learning to windsurf ,your daughter is really good

[@mikikomurdoch5985]

Hi Robby, thanks for this great instructional video!! I've been wanting to wing board with my SUP board. I'll enjoy doing this!! When the pandemic is over, I'll be in Kailua doing this. Your daughter is a fantastic wing boarder!!

[@elvirafausten3395]

Simple instruction, easy to follow. Now I do have some theoretical and practical idea. Thanks very much. Nicely explained.

[@prolifedoc]

Thank you! I weigh 180#/ 6'1" 55yo, and I am using a 4M wing with an Infinity 84 with a 48cm rear wing. The board works great behind a boat at 8 MPH but I have not been able to get up on the foil using the wing. I am going to try "Pressurize the front Foil" this weekend. I put my rear foot weight behind the mast, but the front foil seems to "Stall" and forward motion stops. I will try pumping more with my front foot. With the newness of this sport, there are no instructors in Pensacola. We are learning this from videos like yours. Thank you!!!

[@roadrunnermakmak]

My guess: your wing is too small to generate enough speed to get on the foil. Speed (of board) is key, therefore: wait for days with plenty of wind...(I weigh 85kgs, 5m² wing, XXL foil (2150cm²), and I need at least 12 knots of constant wind - being a beginner, too); try putting your rear foot on top of the mast)

[@prolifedoc]

I got a 6M Ozone WASP and upgraded to the Infinity Hoverglide 99 with a 48cm rear wing. I pop right up with 10-12 mph of wind. Upwind runs are easy. Minimal walks of shame. Now to jibe without falling.

[@willlowe3114]

Can’t wait to give it a go! Your daughter makes it look very easy, think its going to be a challenge but worth it just to cruise up and down wind like that.

[@jamie1453]

Excellent tutorial! I can't wait. Your daughter showed and you explained how to get the foil to lift perfectly. I'm sure I'll fall but the basic principles apply! Thank you I'm 66 and 90K so waiting for your 85 or 75 to purchase! Please let me know when available and shipping cost to Thailand! Thank you!!

[@Skycharly]

Excellent tutorial!!! With a harness tied to an aft neutral point and side handles in front, you could jump and turn, to fly along the front of the wave for a while!!!

[@HadrienBRUNNER]

👍🔥 Robby ‘ s tutorials ! Thanks 🙏👏

[@bustedpresents]

“Once you get up on the foil, calm down.” Best ever vibe. 2 days in from VT.

[@cptstubing]

Excellent instruction and love the music choice.

[@angelopellino594]

Serio, elegante, professionale come ci si aspetta da un mito come te

[@dieterr8888]

Thanks Robby. Great video. Can't wait to do it.

[@mikaelderetour1933]

Thank you Robby for thé vidéo, and Christina for the démonstration.

[@Just_here_for_fun]

Keep featherin' it, brother!

[@David-vn2id]

I feel like I should try it out...

[@injuredtabletennisplayer1474]

She makes it look so easy.

[@MaxMax-dq1lu]

My thoughts exactly..!

[@baybora0001]

Thanks for the video. Awesome I will be one of the first here in Antalya Turkey 🌊☀️🤙

[@APOCLAG]

Congratulations Robby!

[@jeffg4686]

That's sick. Now all we need is a way to "drop it off" when dropping into wave - perhaps it could have a "collapse" mechanism, so it stays put in the water rather than the wind taking it away, and a pinger / finder, or buoy to locate it. Ie, get speed up way before drop in - kinda like tow in, then ditch it when dropping in, or maybe even a small kite instead - not sure what would work better - but thinking for a "regular" surfboard, not a foil.

[@valeriealexopoulos1440]

The wing is lovely easy to pack, light and one piece, unlike a windsurf sail where you need a sail and boom and mast. The board for wing surf is pretty big and especially the foil are still awkward. If this sport evolved someday to easy storage and transport I'm in.

[@luisafernandamarroquin3920]

AWESOME video, quick question: what's the size of that starter SUP?

[@arieliona]

I’m wondering this same thing, would love if someone answered this 😊

[@TheIamwalruss]

This is amazing! I'm just starting and this was extremely helpful!!! Thank you!!

[@enriquegianello]

Great instructional video for beginners with not water sport back ground ,

[@matthieu8002]

best teacher ever and also dad !

[@CarbideGames]

This looks like so much fun! Great instructional 👍

[@CONICONACOCA]

Hello, excellent video! have you ever tried winging with a kiteboard? Do you think that could be possible to wing with this kind of board? What could be the disadvantages and what conditions must exist to achieve it? Thanks for your comments, sure with your experience it will not be difficult to answer. 🤙🏽

[@mb5o]

I could see " Naish junior" going pro soon!

[@iusol]

THX a lot Master Naish!

[@lookingforplaces]

interesting video, big like, greetings from Italy

[@Glenview30]

Great informative video! Thanks for doing!

[@MrJoefoefrombuffalo]

Good video. Thank you. Looking for words of wisdom on possibly a wing foil. I'm a long time "decades" long boarder to give real I idea what use/enjoy i have/had since 1993 a equipe xr2 an a phantom 377 since 2015 that like 377 better with it's advantages. Use 8.5 ezzy lions on both for decades with my local given conditions of 10-20 knots when I can sail June to September. I'm getting old 58 having a harder time transporting dealing with all on water with age becoming a issue. I'm 5.7 tall 170 lb like being able to hook into my harness enjoy the ride 10-20 knots. I'm looking for a long board alternative to keep me smiling on the water for many more years that I can transport an physically be able to enjoy. Wings to me seem like they would be physically demanding in comparison to be able to hook in the harness in comparison to longboarding in similar weather. Please give words of wisdom wing.. or...👍👎

[@robertocasale5991]

Thanks, greatest Wind Master

[@brianpearsonmusic]

I love this kind of technology.

[@StandUpMagazin]

Great beginner guide for sure.

[@denizaytekin8551]

Great instructions! Thx so much:) I have just som wind surf experience. Wingsurf seems much more practical than windsurfing and kitin though :) I want to try this in Turkey but how much wind do one need here? And how can I find equipment? I live in Norway but the waters are colder...That's why I just thought I could try this sport in turkish coast (aegean sea)....Thx again...Peace :)

[@jaredpowell4108]

Does anyone know what SUP board he's using there? Not the foil, the sup.

[@carlpodlogar8351]

Great video. What is your tip on the best average wind speed to start learning to wing foil?

[@outdoormovies1]

Thanks for the advice. Tried foil behind boat. Couldn't get it. Buying wing.

[@wolfgang4136]

That’s really neat👍👍👍

[@marceldevries1366]

Nice skills daughter keep it up .

[@Wacoal34d]

This is super useful Thanks Robbie!

[@thtsjon4u]

Cool. I need to try this before buying.. really expensive

[@widmarkeloo6812]

What size board and foil is she using? Thanks

[@hansmaier479]

Great instructions. Thank you very much!

[@everychild9473]

Hey Robby! Here´s olli from germany! I just came across your video and this is the first time that i hear something about Wing Surfing! I would love to try wing surfing, and i was looking for some wings. I was wondering wich are the most known brands for wings? I would love to buy one. Wich size do i need? I´m 6 ft. tall and my weight is 154 pounds. is it also possible to wingsurf with a normal surfboard? I would love to hear from you. cheers olli

[@MrWhitianga]

In windsurfing, you use a harness to help you conserve energy amongst other things. Is this a real workout on your upper body to hold the sail without a harness? thanks

[@Foizman]

sehr feines Video! Von wann stammen die Aufnahmen?

[@nuovovideo]

Hi Robby you are my idol from i was 20 years old 25 years ago.....

[@locusportbzh]

Thanks Robby ! 🤙🏼

[@jamesc6137]

solid instruction

[@yanndelabasinierre]

Merci pour tes conseils 😉👍👍👍

[@ricou-uj7me]

thanks you Robby you are the best coatch

[@WimVoeten]

I always see in my minds eye, the axe of the foil, shorter and slightly slanted forward to the nose, instead of straight down. I think it woul make it look a lot cooler, and perhaps add a spring to it. And while were at it keep the board looking like a surfboard, and not like a . . . . little platform or what have ya. I'm just daydreaming bless U. Greetings from Holland.

[@Kate-e6m]

Thank you very much!!

[@robertcullity1695]

Ok, I'm ready to go!😳

[@therealrobbycrash]

Thx Robby 🤙🏼

[@TheAussieRod]

Awesome! Thanks

[@talisman5168]

How much wind do you need to wing surf? And would being able to wakeboard help with balance?

[@stephenwashington4860]

I have a Naish 5.3 wing. Naish 170Lt board and an F1 2200 foil. Where is the best placement for the foil?

[@kevinpinck8499]

Are you the same Naish as the company? I just bought one of your wings to wing SUP on lakes in MN. 🤙🏼

[@kevinpinck8499]

Does the wind direction determine your foot stance? I prefer goofy foot as a left handed person. I notice your daughter switches. Sorry if it’s obvious; I’m a newbie.

[@kevinpinck8499]

Oh. You just answered my question at the end. Great video.

[@kirtandreamrezzer]

🌟 Magic 🤙

[@danieldelac6142]

Thank you Robby miki de Leucate congratulations

[@greenfingersofcecilia]

Is it an electric board with propellar just the wind lifting up?
