The Easiest Way to Downwind Foil

[@OCEANBOUND1]

I didn't really understand how this concept would work and the benefits until I watched this. cool video, love the stuff you guys are doing. keep it up!

[@omenfoils]

Right on Oceanbound, hope you get out with some friends and give it a shot soon :)

[@PunkerTFC]

I'd love to see some pictures of the drop anchor leash itself. Thanks!

[@omenfoils]

Here it is! ibb.co/6wxwnh7 I connect the wing leash to the steel ring and the cover is tied into a knot in the webbing belt so it won't slide through.

[@omenfoils]

would be cleaner to sew up a sandbag with a webbing belt but this does the trick!

[@PhilipKlawitter]

Great tips! I'm hyped up to see the prototype board in the future.

[@omenfoils]

Stoked to get you on one Philip!

[@bdwelle43]

Nice one! I was up there last summer with my buddy Noah!

[@omenfoils]

Such an amazing spot, my all time favorite place

[@kevinbryski]

Awesome vid Greg and Sam. Great teamwork

[@omenfoils]

Thanks Kevin!

[@BernardHa]

New shape?? Exciting 🙌🏻 I'm after a smaller stick after my super fav 72flux.. I weigh 65kg so it's a neutral plus. For bigger board, I don't need back footstrap, never had any issue. Gets me going every time from 5/6kts on 700front. Super stoked always. Nice work w drag anchor! Cheers Greg

[@omenfoils]

Drop me a line anytime to chat about the new shapes Bernard, though the 48L Flux may be the right move instead :)

[@kovz910]

Awesome concept, plan to give it a go 👍🏼

[@omenfoils]

Stoked to hear how it goes!

[@Nicolas_Lelievreoff]

Very nice video🤙

[@omenfoils]

thanks Nicolas!

[@martinomovies]

Great vid. Every time I wonder if my feet are too off stance, I look at you!

[@omenfoils]

Haha, I hope it's not for moral support seeing somone who is truly off! I've been working on my stance recently, trying to get in the habit of turning my back foot a bit more forward facing.

[@Dean-g8f]

Epic scenery!

[@omenfoils]

Thanks Dean!

[@zbindenren]

Nice Video, thx

[@omenfoils]

thanks! Hope you give it a try!

[@stephenmcphee9382]

Great video, Greg. Nimpkish?

[@omenfoils]

you know it!

[@brian2973]

Is this Lilooet Lake?

[@omenfoils]

good guess, but I've sworn an oath of secrecy to the other locals!

[@brian2973]

@@omenfoils totallly understand, I've got a bunch of BC lakes on my hit list for DW. Just need to learn the damn sport first haha. Gear is looking great btw! Eyeing up an Omen for next summer.

[@omenfoils]

@@brian2973 haha, sounds like a good Omen! shoot me an email and we can talk more details on lakes :) [e-mail]

[@martinomovies]

Are you going to go above 84L with the new shape?

[@omenfoils]

Not in this new line but we do have a bigger shape in the works which will only be available in 95L and 105L

[@scotttemplin1877]

Is that a proto stab?

[@omenfoils]

it is, will have some production ones available in two weeks. Pushes up the stall speed of the 1050 slightly but for that compromise you get more playfulness, higher top speed, and increased mid and higher speed glide :D

[@kylemaligro]

One way to do it but parawing is the shizzzzz. You won’t be doing it this way after that. 🤙🏾

[@omenfoils]

haha, already have had a couple sessions on it by the time this was posted. For sure it's an amazing tool but the drop anchors are still fun in a group and accessible without any additional gear purchases to get a taste of the uninhibited downwinding feels. I'm absolultely stoked to get more sessions on the parawing though!
