Dwight you don’t need to add anything you can adjust the boom a couple clicks. I can do it in the water sitting down. The on the fly is nice but not necessary

The boom does not feel floppy, the boom is rigid. The wing has less tension on purpose, so is that what you mean to feel floppy? Like a boat spinnaker when it has wind in it, then it feel stable. This is maybe more advanced techniques to try when you have good wing control and want to dial in more precise control.

In rough conditions at the hatchery I was using my 2m and was able to extend the boom out to flatten the wing. The boom allows me to adjust the wing tension. I need it flatter going upwind also, so with a new adjuster I have, I can go upwind with a flatter wing and then when I want to go downwind, I can “bag out” the wing to be full, kinda like a spinnaker and get more power while I’m flying. Also in high winds the boom has less flex than a strut and you don’t have to think where to place your hand. You can schooch it left and right as needed without un-gripping. Windy Wednesday if I had to let go at all it was crazy wild so was moving my hands without releasing them https://www.instagram.com/p/B08whE3nspD/?igshid=ui2omy1nn0tjThen when I had enough survival 2m, I let Ken use it and be used it with the boom set mid range and in the end it got so windy he extended the boom All the way out too. https://www.instagram.com/p/B08zCGonV1h/?igshid=enko1u00tg6cThere is a reason windsurfers use booms and it is very safe and you have more control and adjustments. They won’t ding your board that was a ridiculous thing for someone to say who has been using booms his whole life the reason other brands don’t have them is Ken has been riding his wings for a lot longer than other brands and had time to design them. Handles are quick and simple and cheap to manufacture. No special molded parts either. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgGCfInFFU/?igshid=1iz0x5n7eygr

I had a blast at the hatchery riding up and down to swell on a 2m fully depowered as much as I could out haul it! Ken was on a 3m because we only had one 2m here. I didn’t want to stop, it was kamikaze downwind flying fun. I felt like a bird. People don’t understand the joy of flying with the wave power straight downwind. I can turn, sure and ride river “waves” (I am from Maui) but this is a different thrill. However, my nose is awful. 2 days and I can’t breathe and can’t sleep. Any advice? I forgot how bad it can get.

@admin, that photo of the Duotone your posted from Mac kiteboarding was a prototype sample sent to them early, and the windows are bigger now. I was looking at that photo confused why it seemed smaller.

In your conditions a 5m seems best for you for sure. Dwight though, I would say you really need to try an actual Foilwing. And I just read you have one

I think windows are really important, so get the slingwing then. Some beginners don’t understand how to use the windows but when you get more dialed in you will use them.

I got towed behind a jetski twice with just a hydrofoil. The objective of that was to learn where to have my feet positioned. Once you know the position it’s easy in my opinion. I had a line on the board where to plant my feet. I had gear that my husband designed and knee it would be the perfect size for me. I saw others struggle with not the best hydrofoil setups for their weight and level. I think that’s the biggest disadvantage for never foiling is you can have gear that doesn’t work for you even if it works for someone else.
Alan Cadiz HST Maui teaches lessons with a 200 L windsurf board and then after wing control moves them to a 15inch hydrofoil mast so you don’t fall when the foil lifts out of the water. I think lessons would be a big saver of time and energy.
