Hey guys

I’m trying to decide which wing cadence is best for light wind, I can take off in 12/11 knots or so with a 5.4 wing, but I’m still not sure which is the best starting technique:

1. Bigger slower wing pumps —> medium cadence—> faster shorter cadence

2. Shorter wing pumps —> medium cadence —> faster shorter cadence

3. Shorter wing pumps —> bigger slower pumps —> medium —> faster pumps

In your opinion what is the best starting technique?

Thanks!

Hello guys!

I'm around 80kg, wingfoil background and can pump for around 1 min if I push hard with my current setup:
- Trail XXL v3 Frontwing

- Curve XXL v3 Stab (from my wingfoil setup)

- 70cm mast

I think now I'm ready to upgrade to a smaller stab, I researched and some people say that a veloce M/S would be a good choice, I don't know if I should go for a veloce/curve L or try to go smaller with a S size. I need to downgrade my front soon because it's huge for my weight but maybe the stab is the easier upgrade for now. Also now there are the ATMOS versions which could also be a possibility.

In your opinion, when downgrading should I go for the M/L sizes or already downgrade to a S size?

EDIT: I want to prioritize a bit more time on the foil - maybe around 2/3min goal and a bit of wake thiefing

Thanks!

Hey guys

I’ve seen many many times that Amoral and Amotik played at Berghain but I have never heard them myself live(only on yt). This weekend they play at RSO, what are your thoughts on them?

Thanks 🫶

Hey guys

It’s been my second day trying to do a start but I feel that when I jump I always lose a lot of mast height.

I think my problem is that
- I’m not getting enough speed,
- my landing isn’t always good, sometimes back foot too much to the back, sometimes front foot not forward
- stalling the foil, I’m pumping when the nose is up so I don’t get enough speed

Any other points to mention? I’m doing this push start since it’s more comfortable for me, I can’t really jump with my hands on the board, I’m not that flexible 🫩

Thanks

Hey guys

I’m getting into pump foiling, 79kg, can do a few start with a few pumps and now I’m trying to buy my own Pumpfoil setup

I have currently a v3 curve XL setup that I wonder if I can use at least the fuselage, and stab maybe?

- gong v3 curve stab XL (I know the pump foil stabs are much smaller, I guess it doesn’t make sense to use this for pumping since it would be too stable right?
- gong v3 fuselage
- mast 85cm (I think the mast definitely I should get a 75cm )

What would you do if you were in my case? Or just give up and buy a competly new setup

Hey guys

I’ve been trying to pump my wing and foil at Óbidos (without so much wind and with a lot of sea weed)

I’ve seen a lot of videos to not lean back, keep chest over board and pump in a cross downwind angle but every time I pump the board my boards nose want to dive, I feel like I’m probably stepping with too much pressure, do you guys have any tips? Do you step on the board with all your weight?

Thanks

Hey guys

I live close to a very nice place that I can do wingskating when I'm not on water but I've been getting some mixed recommendations, asking ChatGPT, longboard with bigger wheels is the recommendation but I've read some people say that Surfskate is a better choice

For me I value more stability over super carving angles and such, for those that wingskate, would you go for a Surfskate or longboard? Or something else?

Thanks
