Nope. Those are wind generated bumps, so the wind is traveling in the same direction. :)

@@lakechamplainkitenwing What was the wing blowing?

@@slappyosis I'm using a 2.5m wing so 30+.

This toy is made for you!! I'm 61. I use it all the time, either for downwinders on lake rollers, flat water pumping, or wake thieving. This guy today let me ride his wake for 1 hour. Used 10% battery life only. In a couple of weeks I hit the ocean. Can't wait to try it in the surf.

I’m 147lbs. No problems at all getting up. I only need 60 to 65% power. I never max it out.

You need to point the nose of the wing more up wind and hold it there a little longer before you spin it.

Ha! Footage from La Ventana this past spring. Just getting around to it.

Did some of that on Saturday. Not much boat action during the week around here. Hoping for another DW on Friday. :)

Yo Mike, our side of the lake has big boats pushing up and down the lake so we get pretty solid wakes hitting our beach. Better than the bay side ;)

Been using it quite a bit and getting up has gotten a lot easier.

🙏🙏🙏

Agreed. Unfortunately, I go from a 60L down to a 12L. Definitely need to get something in between.

🙏🙏🙏

I think a 30L board would be the perfect size. Guess I need to go out and buy one.

@@lakechamplainkitenwing you can never have enough boards !.. just get them all the same colour so the wife does not notice

@@FOILING-ITALY BRILLIANT!!!!

🙏🙏🙏

Wow! That is some serious video analyzing. I do the same thing! I took the gen 2 out on a 12 liter board the other day and was able to get up. Wasn't easy. Training your trigger finger to stay steady while your body reacts to all sorts of other things is quite a challenge. Good luck and please let me know how it goes.

Ha! However, I do have a story about coming across him while windsurfing years ago.

🤣

Took a couple of tries. Have fun!!

@@lakechamplainkitenwing today third session and I rided standing up. The difficulty was gradually controlling the throttle. Helped me to lock my finger between throttle and the remote body

@@vim55k Amazing how you need to train your finger to do its own thing. 👆

Haven't tried yet. Maybe this week. :)

@@lakechamplainkitenwing I am learning now on diy drive. Nobody actually shows how to do that and even to start learning in an unordered choppy sea water. And on top of that with the wing in these realistic conditions. It is always this glass lake water or smooth swells of Australia .... Common Or using these small prone boards , small foils... As if it is obvious doing the motor assist already when knowing foil and knowing surfing waves. I am doing it from the opposite - using assist to learn foil, waves and wind faster

@@vim55k Gen 2 put out a video last week showing how to get going in the waves. J-TURNS!!! Very very helpful!

Great one to practice on land. Before you put your foil on.

Tip... Once you start your carve, UMBRELLA the wing (over head and flat with no wind in it) and point the nose into the wind like you would with a Heineken jibe. Let go of the back handle and UNDERGRIP the front handle. With both hands now on the front handle, you can really crank the wing around. Then, reach back with the new back hand and try to grab the back handle before it comes all the way around. :)

Thank you. A lot more new moves since that video (will be updating it). I've set my channel up to do just that... Go to my Playlists, and you'll see Tacks, Jibes, 360's, Heineken Moves, Tutorials, etc. Under these, you'll find individual videos of each move. For example, under JIBES, you'll find individual videos for all the jibes... Heineken, Duck, Race, Power, etc. Also, you can hit the search button and type in the move to see the videos. Please let me know if that helped. Would appreciate the input. :)

I'd definitely go smaller on the board! In the video, I'm using the Axis PNG 1300. It's great for flat water pumping and really small bumps (chop). For everything else, it's too big.

Axis P&G 1300, Short Fuselage 680mm, progressive 350 rear wing, 75cm mast

🙏🙏👊

🙏🙏🙏Maybe I'll see you in Hatteras or on the shores of Lake Champlain.

​@@lakechamplainkitenwing what's the song? I really like it but Shazam won't identify it . And your video has helped me!!!🙏 I'm starting to succeed at flagging out the wing 🤪🤙

@@markella.m SamRyder_Album_WEW

This video was filmed in El Sargento, BCS, Mexico. But, yes, the kiting and winging in Lake Champlain (between Vermont and New York states) is excellent!

Race jibes are the ticket since you don’t get back winded or have to hold the wing up in light wind.

Been spoiled the last 3 months. The largest wing I’ve used is my 4m.

That's certainly an option.

I went longer and with more liters because I bought it primarily for down winding, not winging. I'm glad I did not go smaller because it's hard enough as it is for me to stay balanced in the bumps. Also, the bumps where I live are not ideal for DW'ing and the extra length really helps. I do not feel any delay effect in turning it while winging. I'm very impressed with the way it reacts. 🙂

Are you selling your 107L? I am interested

@@Giovanni.secret Nope. :)

I also have the 107 and love it. Use it mostly for winging. I am 75Kg. The narrow width and for forward foil box make the board feel small and very agile.

The camera in the water shots are from Hatteras and the camera on the wing strut are from El Sargento, BCS. THANKS!!!🙏🙏🙏

🙏🙏🙏

🙏🙏🙏

🙏🙏🙏

Definitely a lot of fun! And this sport is only getting started. Thanks!!

I was home for two weeks last winter. Filmed in mountain lakes and fields on the NY side.

Thanks!! Nope on the head stand. :)

It definitely is! Not so much with the wing unfortunately.

Thanks! I use anything from a Naish HA 1100 to a 2100. It all depends on how gusty the conditions are, size of chop, and weeds.

My thoughts on big front wings has totally changed. I'll use it if there are weeds in the water because it's much easier to purge than smaller foils and you won't get as frustrated. I'll also use it in silly gusty conditions, where you can stay up on foil quite easily from gust to gust. I even put it on my 60L board and use it with my 3m wing. You definitely won't be breaking any speed records, but what does that matter in those types of conditions? I won't use it in surf or swell (bumps), or when conditions are steady enough where your wing is fully powered up (then it's too slow, won't glide as well as the smaller foils, and will work against a fully powered wing). These new large foils turn plenty quick!

Great, thank you

😂

🙏🙏🙏And it's only the beginning for this sport. Wait until the young ones take over!
