Great tutorial. I do like the subtitles as well because I can stop the video to read and visualise the instructions then practise the movements. Inspiring and very helpful.

[@gusthunter4181]

thank`s for the feedback 😃

[@lazlonatural2514]

Thanks. Grato skills..I'm starting and stil not able to fly so easy....

[@sergemann5951]

Nicely done! Here's an example of a man making the most out of his tools given to him. I was so stoked to see his bike designed for the wingboard. I like to see more of that innovation.

[@gusthunter4181]

Thank you 🤠

[@jamescarter3883]

You are an inspiration! Thanks for helping us get the most out of wing foiling!

[@danielseltzer_nyc]

I love this so much. Totally inspiring and instructional, thank you.

[@CB-nz4ih]

Agree with the bliss riding light wind. Add some sun sparkles on the water….and heaven is there. 😊

[@BTSflyer]

I was wondering if there was a way to hook into the wing. This video answered that question. I couldn't imagine that you never got relief from the pressure on your arms.

[@colomacountry]

What a beautiful place to Wing. You appreciate the beauty of light wind because no crowds, tranquility and smooth water..it is dreamy. I see you have a few wings and foil setups for light wind.. which is your favorite and why? Awesome videos too, thanks!

[@gusthunter4181]

Thank you. The strike CWC 7 works best so far in light winds. The board could be a little smaller. (70-80 liter for 76kg would be perfect i think) So far i really love how early the Phantom 1780 starts to lift. Today i will test the F-one Seven Seas 1400...this could even be better due to better glide... Time will tell. Greetings

[@colomacountry]

@@gusthunter4181 yes halving your board size will help. I was out on a mountain lake yesterday, of course without my gear, and I was thinking Gust Hunter could ride these light winds haha. I'm around 90kilo with a 95L Naish and a 6.4M Slingwing that I love. I have a gong XL Low Aspect wing that is around 1900, I hope to someday fly like you brother! I'm going to sub..keep us posted on the new foil setup 👍

[@nicolas_vuille]

@@gusthunter4181 hey man, thx for the vidéo. Did you finally prefer the seven seas 1400 for light wind and if yes, with which fuselage length ? Thank youuu

[@davidhughes7888]

Hey I’ve just seen this vid. Fantastic. Even in 6 degree water. Many thanks. Any chance you could get someone to film you so we can learn your technique from a side view. Anyway I’m well jell of your skill. Cheers

[@Bojan367_PL]

very nice videa ^& I'm really impressed on 6kn to be able to foil! Well done. I'm do windfoil & in 6kn with sail 9m2 I'm hardly going oout on the foil

[@nicolas_vuille]

Buy a downwind board 🤙🤙

[@thestrangeandthebeautiful2625]

Thanks for the tutorial!!

[@jaimemartingarces1524]

Great tutorial, got a lot of ideas. What do you think is more important for the foil: a lot of area (2200+cm2 like your armstrong) or span and high aspect (like de PNG 1300 foil)?

[@someoneinmyhead]

Great flights in those conditions. What's your wet suit for this weather? Seemed like 4/3 on the sleeve? Does it hold good enough in this temperature conditions?

[@AlmansorKerroum]

Awesome. I need to do some serious homework.

[@flyingfootage]

Great video thanks for sharing ,I learned a lot . 👍🏄🏼‍♂️🇩🇰

[@BrettWae]

Thanks for including so much information in the description! Have you tried drysuits before?

[@vincentmunari4077]

Nice tutorial. What type of gloves are you using. Most give me cramps after a while. What are the spots in lake Thun? Looks nice. I usually ride in lake Léman close to Morges. Have you ridden in lake Brienz? It is colder right?

[@gusthunter4181]

Thank you. Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 3Mm Glove (Wear XL!) Harness really helps with cramps. Gunten or Honu SUP are good spots to start. Yes it is colder. Greetings 🤟

[@dengordo]

Nice video. I like it more when you talk rather than reading subtitles. Do you think a board with a beveled tail is going to be better for pumping in light wind? I'm considering Sky Wing 5'4 for my 82kg or Gong Flint 5'6 which is also 95l.

[@gusthunter4181]

Thank you for your feedback. I did not try the gong flint but i think the foil is more important than the board. 😉 Greetings

[@lnbadi]

Nice video! Great technique

[@gusthunter4181]

Thank you 🙏

[@targadave]

Very nice! But I will always choose kite foiling for those wind levels. If I can’t tack and have a bit more fun then I’ll leave the wing foil gear packed up…….

[@gusthunter4181]

Sure...but there are spots where you are not allowed to kite but you can wing... Also if the wind drops to zero i can simply paddle back 😋

[@aminefadous5875]

Thanks for the tutorial, is it possible to show the set up of the trailer behind the bike and how you did it. Cheers.

[@markyboyclark]

Great video. Thank you!

[@kevinmarti2099]

Hey mate, I will join you very soon on the lake of Thun. Whats your Wingsize? I am going for 6.5 and should be fine right?

[@gusthunter4181]

6.5 works great

[@EnvelopeOfficial]

This tutorial format is perfect! I have a question: with light wind I find it hard to go upwind if I don't constantly pump the wing and the board, but you seem to keep a pretty steady stance and manage to come back where you started. How do you do that and what could I be doing wrong?

[@Valsiphez]

Could be multiple things? From the top of my head: Trying to go too direct into the wind? Foil too small?

[@Seychelllian]

Is that really 6 knots? If so youre doing a good job of harnessing the wind. Any tips for which sail works best in light windows (

[@madmax1031]

Hi, nice video and perfect technique. I am 83 kg, 2100 Gong Curve, 105L Board. I am struggeling with the decision of buying a 7 or 8 cwc for 6+. Do you think 7 Is enough for that weight in these conditions? Thanks Mario

[@gusthunter4181]

both are perfect. i love the seven meter 🙂

[@glimpseireland2005]

Great video, thank you for the tutorial. I really need to work on my cardio to try and do what you have done here. Can you tell me where you got your wing leash please, or is it home made? Thank you.

[@gusthunter4181]

Dia duit. The wing leash is the standard leash from F-One. If you mean the harness line - it is just a piece of rope 🙂 Keep it up...

[@glimpseireland2005]

[@johnphillips4733]

Impressive. Looks hardly enough wind to lift the wing! I'm trying to learn how to pump on to foil. Coming from windsurfing it feels all backwards.

[@paulh.327]

Hi You tested so many f-one foil , lucky you! Did you test 990 Eagle ? Do you think is good for 8-11 knots for 72kg with 6m2 or wont be better than my 940 phantom-S ?

[@aureliancucos9191]

Hello, for 105 kg, what size plate and foil do I need? Thank you!

[@skylitekite]

Sehr geil 🤩 ! Was hesch für ne Foilwing?

[@oceanlance]

Is that a home made harness line

[@gusthunter4181]

It is a simple piece of rope. The carabiner has no benefit...i just thought i take it with me in case i need it 🙂

[@apricotscrub]

Would a super large front wing help even more or does it start to lose efficiency after 1700?

[@gusthunter4181]

1700 helps you get up early but is less efficient than a thin profile 1400

[@AlanAllegret]

The toughest part seems to be finding "6kts" wind that generates visible white caps like here 😂

[@befree1558]

Well done, nice technique. But it also shows it`s not really relaxing to go wingfoiling in such conditions - it`s hard work;)

[@gusthunter4181]

...you will be a more efficient sailer if you can ride in light winds...two knots more wind and i am cruising relaxed while others still have to work for it ;-)

[@befree1558]

@@gusthunter4181 I know what you mean, I live at a lake with very light winds as well, good pumping technique is the key;)

Hi, Is there a lot of difference in power and handling between 7cwc and the ensis 6 for a 70 kg rider foil 1800/ 2200? thx Luc

[@gusthunter4181]

Hi Luc. The Strike feels lighter. The Ensis is a bit more direct. Hope this Helps.🤟

[@lucdejaegher224]

@@gusthunter4181 thx. I can get a Score 6.2 almost new at a nice price. that’s why this question. Do you know if there there is a difference in wingspan ?

[@gusthunter4181]

@@lucdejaegher224 I don`t know.about the wingspan... but the Strike CWC does not feel super large to me. Those are all great wings so i think it is personal preference. 🙂

[@maxsyruj5872]

OK so what was the wind speed? Sounds like tornado on the way there!

[@gusthunter4181]

6 knots

[@MrGuzowski]

I just bought my first equipment. Cwc 6m, gong xover 2100cm foil and 130l board. I weight 85kg. Is it in your opinion the right setup to start foiling on a lake with light winds?

[@gusthunter4181]

That is perfect to start with. I used similar gear a while ago. Keep it up.

[@oceanlance]

I would say if you are tall, should try even larger hand kite. The 6 knot wind with your setup - I think you would still struggle to get foiling as a beginner.

[@MrGuzowski]

I’ 170 so i’m probably gonna stick to this 6m for a while. I dont expect to start with 6knots straight away but eventually. I’m experienced with wakeboarding and windsurfing so i hope to progress quickly starting with 10-15 knots. I also bought a 5m wing and 1900cm2 wingfoil for stronger winds. I would love to do some surfing but i live at a lake, have two kids and need to use the time i have as efficently as possible ;)

[@gusthunter4181]

​@@oceanlance A bigger wing is also more floppy to pump...But if you go with the strike CWC i think it is worth to go with 7 or 8 meter. The front wing on your foil is doing most of the magic i think.

[@pierreturner1540]

What is the size of your front wing?

[@gusthunter4181]

1780 cm2 sub 10 Knots / 10 Knots + I ride the 1080 cm2 🦇
