It is not easy....but easier than getting up with no wind. I have been vowing to get back on a wing. I guess it is time to do a long format video on it. Thanks for the request. I will try and crank that out soon.

I usually bump the mast back about 1cm when using a Gen2 Foil Drive.

Not me my friend, not me. I love my straps. I have a few boards without them. Ever try a backflip without straps?

@@foilfanatic no I just learning 😂

@@yuribilous8310 well, beginners and experts alike ask about the straps. You are in good company. It is much easier to ride without them. Very difficult to jump strapless. 🤙

ah, then clearly you made it to the part where I said we are going to use your board for the next video, yes? 🤣🤙 We might have to wait until you get back from AWSI unless I ride with Chris today.

@@foilfanatic no telling what new stuff we will come home with AWSI 👀

Thanks for looking past the fact that this was intended to be a review of the 939 and just turned into seven minutes of: How can I ride this thing more often? Honestly, there is the review right there.🤙

Like 8 minutes of a blues beat with some spoken word poetry over the top? Not many beside The Doors could pull that off this well.

Nothin but the best....Axis Ultra Pro 800🤙

thanks! 🤙

thanks brother! Just watched that parawing/mountainboard video of yours. very cool

no duck dives when the trough goes knee high and the wave is chest high or above. shore pound on this beach can be brutal some days. i used to go mast up like so many....as a winger, one gust will put the wing right into the foil. I am fairly competent with the board sideways. Posted this to show that sometimes things don't go as planned, but staying calm, it is easy to get back into control by whatever method works best for you.

I am not sure what you are getting at exactly. My method is: foil and board to the side, rail downward until it is deep enough to get on, then it goes flat and I get on from the side. In this instance, I laid it flat to get on in deep water and the trough went super shallow 00:39 and I had to dive into the wave and separate from the board. I try to show the mistakes on this feed as well as the successes. This was a fail, but control was regained quickly after the set passed.

over board holding mast base....maybe we do not agree. Flipped board on top of the water in heavy shore pound is not good for me. I want that foil far from my face if a wave flips it. That way is very popular, I do not prefer it. Plenty of pros do.

Art v2 999 Great foil!

999 FTW🤙

without guys that love their jet skis, who would be left to tow us in? Glad you guys exist.

Axis Pump 30L and the 800 Ultra Pro mast.

Sounds right, but I could not tell you for certain.

You know, the internet knows me as William. Billyman is my secret superhero name. If I learned anything from Spiderman, the next few months are going to be difficult. 😂🤙

Thanks!

Foiling is pretty awesome. Really fun stuff.

Thanks! Who knows how long I would be making that mistake if you had not have corrected me!

@@foilfanatic Cheers!

Very Cool! Thanks for watching! I just subscribed to your channel as well.

@@foilfanatic thank you man! I learned a lot from your FD videos…well done! 🤙

🤣you ain't wrong, but still 🤣🤣🤙

I have the Art Pro 1001 which requires a thigh high wave to easily get started and it requires you maintain a pretty good clip to keep it from stalling. It is fun when you get it moving, but not practical for the waves I get. I assume the 879 will give me similar results since it has less than 800cm2 area. The 939 has the highest A.R. of the 3 at 10 and a surface area of 900. So I am interested in trying that one eventually for the bigger waves. I am kinda glad Axis only sent 1 for now. I would consider the 999 my Prime wing for Florida and I think Axis may have thought the same . I may ask them to let me try the 939 once I have really nailed this 999 down. I will try the 879 eventually, but it is much lower on the wish list. I have asked them for one of the new prone boards to send next. 🤙

I created it using suno.com and a sample from Public Domain recording of Boots by Rudyard Kipling.

You are very kind, thanks!

Much appreciated! Word of warning, be careful believing too much of my hype. I tend to get way too excited about anything foiling related. The shorts feed keeps me honest. Hard to fake it if people are watching the reality of day to day riding. 🤙

my favorite are the Eagle Rays. On clear days, it is mesmerizing riding with them.

@@foilfanatic yes the sea is wild

I have never surfed, so I have no idea. But I learned how to foil in flat water 1st. The ocean is just where many of us end up. Flat water foiling basics can be learned quickly. Even that is super fun.

Thanks Pete! feeling better than I look!

Thanks! I know you know that some days are more challenging than others!

It really depends on what you are chasing. Lift are easier, heavier, have the motor lower, and have more thrust. Ride time is about the same. It really depends on what you want to do with it. I am sure Lift will come out with an assist eventually. For now, they are apples to oranges apart.

🤣🤙
