Who's riding out at Pat Bay in Sidney? I'm wondering on wing size for the summer?

Hi, I have seen a few people riding out there in the summer when the wind picks up and due to it being 10 minutes from me I would like to get a wing that would work well to ride there in the summer. I have not started winging yet but have been riding wake foiling for the past 3 years. I will be ridd...

Re: Which wing foil for 10-18 knots?

We are on Taylor Arm, that stretch of 11 cabins without power so the wind gets into there every afternoon normally. We always wind surfed it as kids, I think there and further down the arm past battle ship island (Taylor Arm Provincial Park) are the places that really get wind in the afternoons. The...

Which wing foil for 10-18 knots?

Hi, I just decided today to buy a Neil Pryde Glide Surf 19 to be able to ride behind out wakeboard boat since my old kite board (LF original rocket style) can not be used under 17mph and I wanted to ride ropeless and have fun playing in the wake. I still plan to use the 5' LF Rocket Fish board with ...

I lived there for 4 months in the summer. Guincho in the summer was pumping pretty much daily. I'm sure you will love it. We would just drive over each day to ride. There are some RV camping areas just up the way from it, maybe 5 minutes. Not sure how full they become in the summer as we had a house...

Hey guys just another question, typically which size boots/gloves do you guys wear in the winter?

I'm assuming 5mm boots but what about gloves? Patagonia has a sale on this weekend and I was thinking of updating my gloves/boots.

Thanks,

Aaron
