Yeah good video Colas that guy can pump like a Mofo. Great price on that foil $625 Aus but couldn't find any specs on the weight on the web site , I'm guessing about 6kg like the Slingshot or Takuma ?
Couple of months ago....crosschop, backwash, jet skis !
Looking forward to seeing all the new gear starting to surface....
Not surfing really, but Foil DW.
Unfortunately I didn't have my GoPro charged, so it's only the first few seconds of my 2km run on Pittwater. To those that do not know Pittwater is an enclosed wayerway, and this is just bay chop. I was pretty amazing how well it worked. I think I was faster on the foil then I would have been in the same conditions on a 14'er.
Downwind foiling is truly the future of the foil, so fast and so silent and really so easy!!
If anyone ever needs a hand with the Downwind side feel free to hit me up as I am more then happy to share what I have learned!!
Beasho and I had a fun session in total wonk yesterday.
His daughter and I were on SUP, Beasho was on his foil.
After the session I grabbed my point and shoot, to take vids of his last waves.
Not many foilers in New England yet, so it was fun to watch Beasho carve through the chop.
Well the surf was near flat and pretty much un-surfable!
Not on the foil. We foiled for two hours before getting out to get the camera (unfortunate, as it was much better earlier).
Already posted elsewhere, I just add it here to help centralize all foil videos on the site: fun foil (+SUP) session by the Gong staff offshore of its offices in La Baulke, France:
Another DW'er that didn't really come together, but thank you to the luxury large cruiser that came by to give me a glide , right up until I was forced to cutback and went too far out of the wake .
Fun little session this morning with some of the new 2019 NAISH Foiling goodies. Abracadabra is pretty cool, just one key bolt to fix your foil in solid, makes setting up super fast.
This is the new Slingshot Infinity Surf/Sup Foil. Tested it out towing today , it had amazing stability at speed and incredible glide . Our runs went forever .
Always on top of new gear Piros. How does the new Slingshot compare to the old? Lighter?
Plan has always been to go to shortboard once I have the feel for it.
Im progressing slowly on my Slingshot H4 with retrofitted Hpernut 7'8. After Session 21. Gliding OK. Playing around with turning (small). Im wondering at what point I should go smaller - ie Am I holding myslef up now that I can glide.....or should I keep building my foundation skills on the SUP....Im very competent surfer/short boarder....tough call.

Nice Colas those guys do some great videos.
Steve yes new wings are lighter and much better shape plus mast set up is much stiffer. Yes definitely go as small as you can as soon as you can , the difference in pumping is huge. Everything becomes easier , except paddling for waves but you soon learn the micro pump paddling for waves. The 7-2 Hypernut is cracker to convert to foil. Plus start looking at a prone foil set up , again next level foiling enjoyment.
