I also switched from 72 aluminium slingshot mast to 82 carbon Moses mast and I found it amazing

Hey
I also have a Duotone and I’m wondering how it will be switching to handles... how is your feeling about that?

Admin,
Did you order the Sky Wing 4’8 and 5’0?
Do you think is there between them so much difference to get both?

"The key is sending the wing forward over your head as you start the carve, so you lean forward, not back, which is your natural tendency"


Thanks you DW, i think you absolutely nailed it. I've been trying tacking holding the wing up, but i think the key is really to holding up AND MOVING IT FORWARD. can't wait to try.
thank you for this amazing tip!

Awesome Dwight!
Tell us more about your tecnique please. As far as i see the first thing is moving the wing to your head when you gain speed and then you start to turn, correct?

With the new generation of specific wing boards they seems to have solved the problem of the manuvreability being compact and with enough volume  for knee start (safety).  Why you still want a sinker?

river,
i checked the new sky wing review online and i see they put a lot of volume in the back in order to stabilize the knee start, but you have still problem with that, why? I'm interested in your answer since i also have the 6'3 Sky sup 2020 model and i'm waiting the new 2021 Sky wing 5'0 that you already tried.
thanks

Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / protection gear

« on: March 18, 2020, 03:22:13 AM »

hi,
do you have any recommendation for the best protection gear?
i normally use a Gath helmet which i find very light (but very expensive) and i also find very confortable but bulkier the Side on Helmet (only 20 usd).
I'm thinking to buy also an impact vest, i was looking for the new Combat Foil Vest from Neilpryde which seems not so bulky and confortable. Has anyone tested it or have some other suggestions?
i also use a 2 mm full wetsuit even in summer time to avoid cut on the skin from the foil
thanks

I think the dangers are:
- to get hit by the foil (so wear the helmet and the impact vest and in general a wetsuit because some foil can cut like a knife so better not to expose directly the skin)
- to injured your ankle if you use straps (in this case just be careful of the reef or shallow waters and in general while you surf waves)
