Sorry guys, I know this topic has been discussed, but I cannot find it in the search. I am 91 kg, an experienced sup surfer, surfer, and maybe a low intermediate Wingfoiler and tried some supfoiling on my 140Lblue planet last summer. I have a 120 L wingcraft Wingfoil board that I transitioned out of quickly down to one of Dwight‘s 105L boards that is perfect for me to Wingfoil on, but I would love to use my 120 L Wingcraft to supfoil small to medium size waves. My regular SUP board is a 130L board but its 8’ and man it tracks better than my 6 Wingcraft but I can still paddle the 120L with J strokes. Thoughts? Thanks. Sorry Dwight, the 105L is only good for supfoiling on glassy days and in the Pacific Northwest that doesn’t happen .

Man you uber ahtletes and seasoned watermen make this look SOOOO easy. I badly need your help. Ok, first a little (Maybe a lot?) bit about me. The more you know the better. Wingfoiling is just a big physics problem really. I'm 51, 6', 200lbs, in decent shape, have surfed since I was 16, have SUP surfed since 2009 on the crazy ass Oregon Coast, Kitesurfed, for about 2 years, Snowboard regularly, skate, blah blah blah. I've moved to the Puget sound area in Washington, 2 hours to Surf, and I MUST get into the water, so I'm onto the next thing. Wingfoiling. BUT CRAP I CAN'T GET UP ON MY FOIL! My gear-144L 7'6" Blue planet easy foil with a 1750cm wing, a 4m Naish surfwing. I've flown for a few brief seconds when I'm in what I would call howling winds- with white caps, 2-3foot wind waves, etc. I can sail the board just fine but STAYING up wind and not doing a long paddle or walk of shame prevents me from just flying downwind to get up onto the foil. I think I am needing more hull speed to get up? Do I need to commit to a downwinder? Most winds around here are sub 20. Since I havent kited in about 18 years, my guess is I'm overestimating the wind speed and just am not used to 20-30kt winds anymore. I just purchased a 6m Ozone, because my goal is to be able to get out into the water with as little as wind as possible and TO GET UP ON THIS THING. Did I make the right move? Is my board too big? Am I too fat and old? MUST I get towed behind a boat? Please dont tell me I need a $2,000 2400cm foil. Thanks guys, just joined but have been trolling your conversations for months. BTW, I've been out maybe 12-15 times. Cheers.
