Thank you, David. I really appreciate the comment. I am still amazed how much in learning after more than a year into this and over 50 foils tried. We have a lot to look forward to in terms of development and while no one has beat 35 I’m confident it will happen if we continue to share what we learn, and (a really big and) manufacturers care to pursue good foils for wake thieving. Thanks again 🙏

Me too! My dream is to pump on flat water for 30min ... the physics suggests its possible, but the technology still has to advance in terms of stiffness, weight, wing sizes, and stability (understanding of how to control a wing of such size). Lots to do, but enjoying the journey!

The narrow range of effective lift angle ties in to your observation on it's thinness, As you raise your climb angle under load, water has to deflect direction around the leading edge to follow the upper surface to it's trailing edge. The issue is that the leading edge is thin and provides minimal radius to smoothly redirect the water from your loaded motion vector. Coanda effect breaks, flow delaminates from the top surface and the wing stalls.

So would shimming the baseplate via the method in an earlier wake thief video cause it to stall earlier? Would a sanded finish similar to a 2000g kitefoil race finish help?
@WakeThief
@WakeThief 3 жыл бұрын
Shimming base plate just moves the board relative to foil, so it can change the amount you have to bend your more-bent leg, which is often your front leg but nothing else significant. Sanding is good. I’ve been told by experts that most production foils aren’t sanded enough.

Try it with the 92 cm mast that is much stiffer and the +10cm help with the pumping.
@WakeThief
@WakeThief 3 жыл бұрын
A stiffer mast would no doubt help. Please help me understand why a longer mast is good for pumping? I have found that a longer mast is less stiff than a short master in both torsion and bending and I only need about 30cm max to pump efficiently, so struggled to justify more than 70cm of mast especially if it is less flexible, weighs more and makes it harder to control foil because the control of your feet is further away from the point of action (front wing). Thank you for the suggestion!

Great review as always, Devon! I agree with most of your observations - especially concerning the pumping rhythm. I too often find myself "missing" a pump and then completely losing rhythm. The dock start on this foil isn't that complicated (although I have no foil to compare it too). While hard to learn initially, it is very "forgiving" since you can glide a bit before beginning to pump. Due to the drag you lose speed quite fast however. The nose dives you experienced may have been due to the S370 you used in the video. I remember that Gunnar Biniasch mentioned that a foil will simply pitch down in high speeds when the stabilizer's area becomes too small to stabilize the front wing (search for his stabilizer tech talk here on YT). I use the W1250 with the S399 for pumping and with the S483 for winging where the speed is higher. About the mast: Apparently the M92 is not only stiffer but also 1 or 2mm thinner than the M82. I don't have one for comparison though.
@WakeThief
@WakeThief 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you, Steff! I used the S470 in the review. I'm sorry if that's wasn't clear. Interesting point about the M92. If it is stiffer that would've helped a lot and helped increase the pumping duration. I will try to get one to try and at least measure defection Thank you!

Great Video. Lift... The 470 stabilizer you are using is going to lean toward speed while sacrificing low end lift. It is a good match for pushing the wind upper range for wind/wing foiling. The 450 stabilizer would change the dynamics quite a bit here. It would be slower of course but likely increase lift and stabilize turning. I would be interested in seeing which stabilizer produced better glide. Maybe the 450?
@WakeThief
@WakeThief 3 жыл бұрын
I have found that the best glide is a function of the smallest possible rear wing, as the rear wing does not lift due to its negative angle of attack orientation (which pulls it down ... negative lift in level flight). So since it negative lifts, you want it small because it will contribute drag. ... however, higher max pumping speed can be achieved with a larger rear wing (up to a limit) and I believe the 470 is pretty close to that limit, based on my experience sweeping different rear wing sizes (not in SABFoil, but other brands) ...any more area in a rear wing and its' ability to speed pumping up is negated by its larger drag. I'm sorry if this is confusing. If it is, happy to discuss further. Please email me at wakethief@icloud.com

@WakeThief 3 жыл бұрын
Probably not but density isn’t that big of a factor compared to viscosity which nearly doubles as water temperature falls from very warm water (think Dubai in summer) and cold water (mine right now which is approaching freezing) and that is a much bigger factor (maybe 10-20W of power!!!)

I do not think you used the correct setup for this foil. This frontwing is to be used entirely with the updated Sabfoil m-series masts. Like the Sabfoil m92 mast. This mast is 16 mm thick. I am using the sabfoil 1250 with an Clysdale Mast by Project Cedrus, Lenght 96 cm. No wobbling or twisting at all! Greetings from Berlin.
@WakeThief
@WakeThief 3 жыл бұрын
Great suggestion! I used the mast that Mackite had in stock and will discuss this updated mast. 16mm thick still might not be stiff enough. I have reviewed the Cedrus mast and agree that it is quite stiff. In fact, I found it identically stiff to the benchmark aluminum mast I showed in this video. You're right, I suspect it would be an improvement over what I used here. Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment!

Most manufacturers do litte or hardly anything to enlighten this jungle. Sabfoil is one of the few companies which at least publishes the essential specs of their products. So guys like you, who are realy testing and measuring the actual specs and performance are such a great help for every sincere foiling addict ;-) Keep up the good work! Concerning Projekt Cedrus Mast: As mentioned above, I am using the Cedrus Clysdale Mast. This is an even stiffer version. I think you have been testing the basic Cedrus mast.

Sort of ... as it turns out, if you can do something for 3min if you lower the power just a bit, you can do it for 6min ... not the case when you go from 1min to 2min ... The graph in this video explains it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqG3hmOkltJrl6c. The cool thing about foiling is we're at that point where just 25% less power to pump would allow a mere mortal like me to fly for 30min ... that would mean a super athlete could go for an hour or more.
