Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / best packing system?

« on: November 14, 2022, 03:40:09 PM »

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find answers on my search. 

I just started this wing foil odyssey last year at age 60, but already have enough gear (3 wings, 2 boards, 2 length masts, a few foils, a helmet, wetsuits, an impact vest, a few board leashes, Wing leashes,  a Torx wrench - just broken trying to unscrew my fuselage from my mast-, various bolts and screws, etc.

I would love to see the best system of storage and packing that people have developed to make sure everything makes it into the car/truck/suv to make sure they get to the foiling site with everything they need.

Thanks!

Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / Beginner Wing Foiling Gear for an old guy

« on: October 03, 2021, 10:10:44 AM »

60 year old, 5'11" 80kg in decent shape living in VA Beach.  Started surfing 10 years ago, SUP racing and surfing 7 years ago, and now looking to SUP and Wing Foil in waters around VA Beach- no past wind sport experience.  Bought a Naish 5M Matador and have been practicing with it on my Sunova Speeed 9'2". 

Not much of any used gear to be found around here, and no local shops. Happy to spend the money to get the proper gear that will help me progress as rapidly as possible.  From what I understand, I will need a large volume board, and foil with a large front wing.  Based on what I see in shops where I purchased SUP gear online, I am considering the new Fanatic 2022 Sky foil board (6'3" 140 L) and the more expensive Armstrong FG SUP Foil Board (6'4" 132L).  Also considering the Armstrong Foil 2400 with the 72 cm mast and 60 cm fuselage.

Any thoughts or recommendations for a total newbie would be appreciated.  Thanks.
