Great explanation of how the foil wings work

The owner of Gong explains their range of products for foils, it is very specific for their products, but there are a lot of concepts explained which are generic and help you understand foils better, like the thickness, the effect the curvature has on breaching the tips, stabilizers, etc.

I enjoyed a lot watching and as a Gong user for me it is perfect to understand better. The audio is in French, but it is subtitled so a lot of reading and sometimes pausing because the concepts he explains are not trivial.

Agree man. It covers:

Tip breaches
Speed in relation to profile thickness
How tips affect turning
And more
With a special section just on tails.

Good for owners of all brands and you can read it with sound off. lol
