Re: How the Wing-Thing is going.....

Thanks for the suggestions. They both look fun although I'm not sure how to ride a bike so the bike-foil might not be the greatest. I'm going to continue to Wang but just on my big board as I felt like I was close to jibing on the big board. I'll hold off Wanging :) on the small board for awhile as ...

How the Wing-Thing is going.....

Okay, I've been 'Winging' a few times now, not enough wind sometimes which was a bit frustrating but which has allowed me to confirm that can stay upwind, get back to where I started and learn to schlog-jibe. I have been using a 6.2m Wing which feels powerful enough to get up on foil in 13-14kts wit...

Re: Newbie to Wing-Thing

Hey Nanmoo (and others), thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. I currently use a 95cm and 115cm fuse for WindFoiling. With my tuttle box stuck at the back of the board and not able to move it forward, I thought the longer fuse(115cm) that has the front foil set further forward would help ...

Newbie to Wing-Thing

Hey there Windfolks, it's time for me to come out of the Wing closet. I'm Wing-Curious. Okay, there it is. My "I'm never gonna do it" is just all talk. So, now that I'm out..... I'm going to need a Wing to practice with and probably a thicker wetsuit cause from what it looks like, "Yo...

Wanted - Starboard Foils

I am interested in buying any 'saddle system' Starboard front or rear foils.
900cm2 or larger front foil (900, 1000, 1100)
330cm2 or larger rear foil (stabilizer) (330, 500)

Thanks.

Re: Friday the 13th Fun

Okay, so that was a great video of 'Drunken Monkey' foiling. hahahaha!! It makes me want to get a GoPro to re-live the TOW because afterwards it's usually just a blur of Wings going by. Nice Work H-Rock!!

Free - Polar Ignite GPS watch

I have a Polar Ignite GPS watch for free if anyone would like to try it out. TunaCan tried it out and I believe it got him hooked on GPS'ing. Comes with a charge cord and watch strap. You will need to use the Polar Flow App which you can download to your phone for free. I use the Strava App (also fr...

Re: GPS Watch

I'm on the Polar bandwagon. They have always worked well for me. I have lent out my last Polar (Ignite) to a couple guys on here (Windjunky and TunaCan). It's free so if you want to give it a try before you buy something, I think TunaCan has it currently so you can get it from him. I'm now using the...

499 Foiling Sessions

My next foiling session will be my 500th which I'm pretty stoked about! I've been foiling for just over 3 years now. (Okay, so apparently I'm pretty good at foiling, just not so good at counting sessions) :-$ (Thanks to BWD for doing the math for me) \:D/ I want to thank Mr. B and The Twizz for sugg...

2 Free Zero-Gravity Chairs

I thought I'd post them on here to see if anyone wants them before I put them on used Victoria.
They are in good condition. I red and 1 blue. We just don't use them anymore.
