Wingding in a TINY DUTCH LAGOON - Wing Foil Progress

[@martinnovation1]

Your getting real good. Super progress

[@leo-stief]

Thanks mate!

[@captainkeys8920]

Mit Entschlossenheit über Vernüftigem Equipment. Da brät mir doch einer nen Hahn im Hintern, was ein ehrfürchtiger Anblick❤️

[@philzke9788]

Yet another example of what you can do with right attitude, equipment and, ok, the necessary skills… to most it‘s just a useless patch of water, but you turned into your private playground. Surf is where you find it! Super cool!

Thanks mate! Die Lagune würde ich jeder Zeit gegen den Wannsee tauschen 😂

[@Meharizippo]

Respekt. Auch die Kitemoves, Hammer

[@leo-stief]

Danke :)

Cool Vid Leo. Amazing that it was deep enough. We have a spot by me that is like this but it's maybe 1-2 foot tops. Only kiters ride the slick. What front foil were you on? I also just saw the video with you riding the 2nd wake behind the boat. Wondering what front wing you were on there. I got the Fluid XXLT, Curve XL (Wish i got the XLT) and I bought the Veloce LT for when I get better :)

[@leo-stief]

The FLuid XXLT is Sick! I've been mostly using the Curve XLT in boat wakes. It's way slower than the FLuid XXLT and therefore quite Good for small Boat wakes, but it does really lack top end and I would often like to go faster when I'm on the Curve XLT.. The Veloce is greta too! I've been using the Veloce XLH recently and the Glide is insane :)

Cool fingers crossed that your foil didn't hit the ground greets from Tirol 👍🤙

[@leo-stief]

It did a lot! But its only sand so no big deal :) Greetings from Berlin 🤙

[@mtumix]

Hm. Without helm protection?

[@stkl23]

Those maneuvers man! Excellent! I wish I could jibe as easy but at some point my board/foil always stops rolling and I drop 🤬

[@leo-stief]

Thanks! Practise makes perfect :D

[@Meharizippo]

Kannst du den Curve Pro XLT als Aufsteiger Foil empfehlen? Habe den Rise XL zum Anfangen.

[@leo-stief]

Mittlerweile würde ich tatsächlich einen etwas schnelleren Flügel empfehlen und z.B. direkt auf den Fluid LT oder so gehen :)

[@wingo.jimbo84]

Nicer wieviel Knoten waren das,?

[@leo-stief]

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, aber so um die 15 kn

[@strategiemachen3816]

Hey, I asked before on a different post: IN Germany is it allowed to Wing Foil everywhere? E.g. Jungfernsee doesn‘t seem to be an official spot for Windsurfing etc? What are the rules? Are there any yet?

[@leo-stief]

Hey dude, For windsurfing and specially wing foiling there are not really too many rules yet. So you can basically go in everywhere. (in the area around berlin, different story at the sea/ other parts of germany) The only blocked spots are water protection areas but we don't have a lot of them. So basically everywhere you see Boats, you can go in. Only kiting is problem, therefore you need to go to a "legal kitesurfing area" if you don't wont to pay any fees if the water polices finds you. Hope that helps! Greetings

@@leo-stief Helps a lot, thx really. :)

[@stkl23]

@@leo-stief Some states however (f**ing Saxony) say Winging equals Kiting and is therefore forbidden. I'm doing it anyway.

[@robadair]

@@stkl23 no strings therefore not a kite. Let’s keep that message going!

[@magnus9756]

Ich kenne dich ja nur von den pumpfoil videos und hab mir wegen dir auch das curve xlt geholt und board gebaut :) Aber wtf wke gut kannst du bitte kite wie lange machst du das wie bist du dazu gekommen ?

[@connormilton]

Hey Leo, quick question. If you had to choose your first foil again. Would it be the Rise or would you go straight to the XL-T?

[@leo-stief]

Hey Connor, that depends. If my Focus would be on Winging I would definitely choose the Curve XLT as its faster (compared to the Rise XXL. The XLT ist still not a fast foil) If I would go for PumpFoiling I would choose the XXL as its easier in the beginning. So in summary: Depends on what you want to use it for :)

[@ptrouve]

Waar?

[@leo-stief]

I don't know what you mean?
