Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / Minimum volume board for knee start?
« on: February 04, 2020, 02:14:57 AM »
Hi All,
Background: I have been kite foiling for three years and prone surf foiling for over two years (Short board surfing for decades). I am 64kg and 179cm tall, located in Australia and am in the Ocean everyday.
My prone foil board is 30l 4’5″ and i can stand on it in deep water start stance but not get out of the water on it yet. It guess it will be useful later in my learning curve for a strong wind option. As I don’t SUP foil I am looking for as small a volume board to learn on that will still allow me to float and start on my knees with the wing. I have seen the below footage of billy and this makes me believe i can buy a 60l 5’0″ wing board but would appreciate fellow wingers opinions on what is possible. It doesn’t bother me if it takes quite a few sessions to learn to balance and start as long as it will be consistently easy,with practice, to start on this size board. I don’t wish to buy a SUP first as I think this step can be avoided with some perseverance.
Thanks for your help.
