Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / Foiling in the Grenadines
« on: February 23, 2023, 08:01:08 PM »
So used to foiling in big swells and chop below my house, I finally went to other side of the island to enjoy some well behaved, relaxing  flat water for a change on Bequia, St.Vincent & Grenadines.

Sessions / First time out in a while ..forgot how fun it was
« on: February 01, 2023, 06:04:12 AM »
With wing foiling consuming 99% of my time and loving it, a calm day with long period swells got me back on my SUP for the first time in a year.  Had a fun clean session in Melbourne Beach, FL  with friends.  It was a lot of fun, and brought back memories.

General Discussion / Have any of you experienced vertigo?
« on: April 25, 2022, 09:02:55 AM »
After 7 straight days of 4m winds and winging like crazy, I have been experiencing vertigo. Awful feeling like a bad amusement ride you can’t get off  I believe I got some water in my ears from wipeouts and probably the cause.

Trying to get a Dr appointment,  but wondering if any of you have experienced vertigo and what did you do about it?

Thanks
Don

Classifieds / Kenalu Paddle blade
« on: March 14, 2022, 05:21:14 PM »
Unused Kenalu blade...The bag says Molokai 95 but I am not certain if that is the blade pictured. I have owned many Kenalu paddles over the years and this was bought as a back up for a surf trip. It has been in storage for a few years.   Its X-Tuf version.  It's never been used, but I did tape the edges with electrical tape.

asking $150 plus shipping.

I leave for a trip March 21 so if you want right away it must ship this week or after April 10th

I took advantage of 15% off on 2021 Cabrinha Mantis (with windows) and bought the 5 and 4m from Green hat Kiteboarding.  They are making room for the 2022 model
Used the 5m for first time today and LOVED it.  So light , so powerful and SO efficient compared to my older Duotones.
Pumping this wing it was so responsive and got me up on foil in an instant...   The mini booms work really well and felt comfortable in no time.  Easy transitions on jibes and hand passes. I felt so dialed in right away on this wing and can see what so many people use them.  I don't know what they did to improve it for 2022 aside from major price increase, but I am very happy with the 2021 model and loved the price.

I even managed to get the wing back in the bag first try!!  ;D. But that would be my #1 complaint..the bag sucks.
Also wish it had a dump valve on the strut..

Having a windsurfing background naturally I took to the Duotone Wings. Really like the original and own 4m and 5m.  They weren't best for packing and travel so I also bought Duotone 6m. Great wing, light, powerful but I really miss the confident feel of the boom. With the boom I can jibe without even looking not so with the Unit, I find myself searching and grasping for the handles.  I found the same to be true with my F-One Swing..

Looking at buying a Duotone Slick but also considering the Cabrinha X3 which has "mini booms". I am thinking the Cabrinha might be a nice solution for easy packing and travel but also having the convenience of the boom handles.

Anyone out there used both ? any comments welcome. thanks

Random / Car suggestions.. bought car after lease ended
« on: December 21, 2021, 01:37:51 PM »
ok so I just bought my 2019 Honda Pilot after the lease ended. The payoff amount was determined pre Covid and now used cars are selling way above the predetermined value at the end of the lease...my payoff was $21,900.

Going by the Blue Book and Edmunds values,  private party the car is worth $32-34,000 and $30k or so trade in. Car Guru offered me $35,600 but I don't know if that is a scam.

debating whether to sell/trade in my car for a new one, lease a new car , keep my car.  it has only 17800 miles on it.

I HATE car shopping. I know I ALWAYS get screwed, but this time it looks like I made out alright and want to take advantage of it....any suggestions?   thanks

When not enjoying the water below my house, I head out to different beaches and  I have been using a Mule to transport all my water toys over the years..surfboards, windsurfers, SUPs and now my foil board.  The board was a bit too wide and the wheels were rubbing the paint off the rails so I had to be McGyver and make my own axle wide enough. A carpenter friend had a plastic epoxy rod which I cut to length and it fits perfectly. Bends a little but has held up great so far.  I highly recommend the Mule for easy board transport by hand, bike or in my case ATV
