Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / New North Mode Wing

« on: September 23, 2022, 09:27:56 AM »

I've been hearing lots of good things about this wing -- fast, good upwind and a big wind range.  Only three wings in the range -- 4.2, 5.5 and a 7.  New light and strong strut material.  Originally called the "race" but then North realized calling anything "Race" was the kiss of death so they changed the name to "Mode".

Pricing (reasonably priced) is going to up the ante among the elite wings. Here's a fairly detailed review:

Really short, thick with a flat bottom.  (Note the red and orange coloured "boomed" Slingshot wing in the video -- new wing coming?)

Here we go -- are people really this dumb?  Heaven help us if this is true and other people in other countries get similar ideas.

Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / A little help getting on foil!

« on: June 20, 2021, 07:28:40 AM »

Where I live (Canada) e-foils are not legal (yet).  This might be a nice alternative.  It could be fun on a windless day to get some time in on the water.

Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / Racing -- how long before professionals with specialized equipment take over?

« on: June 06, 2021, 05:55:26 PM »

I don't think it will take long before there is a professional racing discipline for winging with specialized equipment and money events.  I'm not sure if this is good or bad for the overall sport -- bound to happen I guess.

« on: March 03, 2021, 02:24:29 PM »

O.K. there has been a lot of hype over this wing due to the strength and lightness of the material.  Two different wings on offer at two different prices.

If "winging" is just a fad it's a pretty big one.  I saw this short segment of an interview with Wyatt Miller posted on another forum so I thought some here might be interested about how their sport is taking off -- here's the clip.
