Re: Wing vs regular windsurfing sail
Concur with Grantmac's points.
WingSUP is harder on your hands/arms/shoulders due to the increased friction with water. It's fun, it teaches wing handling, but for excitement, it pales in comparison to wingfoiling.
Ask me anything about wingSUP. I spent enough time at it. Lol!

Re: Wing vs regular windsurfing sail
Thanks for clarifying Highrock's video, Grantmac.
So, the speed shown on the graph in the video was not the wind's speed, but Highrocker's GPS- recorded speed, right?. He seems to be moving quite steadily all along the video, though. Does it mean that the winds were always around 15 knts/hr as a ...

Great video, Highrocker! If you were able to cruise around at that brisky pace in those low low winds , at times as low as 8 km/hr, without a foil, it is beyond my wildest expectations ! Looks like the wing is more than a pool-side toy, as some have ...

Re: Wing vs regular windsurfing sail
What do you mean by a 'retractable centre fin'? Is this anything like a sailboard centreboard? This isn't one of those little centre fins that things like Starboard Start boards have? I suspect they are not going to do well. The Kona boards have a long, high aspect/high performance centreboard and ...

Wing vs regular windsurfing sail
I am planning to try winGsurfing from windsurfing next summer,
I weigh 90 kg and I will use a 5.4 m. Slingwing V2 on a 220 l, 85cm wide Tahe board, with no foil,just a retractable central fin and a 38 cm rear fin.I
In these conditions, I am just curious to know what to expect. Things being equal ...
