    Hey, I just tried sup foiling on flatwater with the 115l version of the Duotone Downwinder and the Fanatic high aero aspect 2000 wing for the first time, but after a couple strokes the board immediately turns and doesn’t go straight. I have a 75cm mast, so it’s quite confusing. Any tips?

    • @Mickfoil1
      @Mickfoil1 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sorry I missed this comment. Hope not too late to reply. If you cannot keep a board straight it is due to your paddle technique. You have to learn good sup paddling technique first before even thinking of flat water paddling up a foil. Have a google and look up paddling a sup straight with J stroke technique :)

  • @RiverDuckMeow
    @RiverDuckMeow 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    How critical do you think board width is in terms of popping up in flatwater or out in the bumps? You're obviously trading a bit of stability for less width but would you say it's one of the more important gear variables from your experience? For example, I have an 8'2" x 21" 120L KT dragonfly and can popup in decent bumps but have a really hard time getting the board moving quickly through the water and bouncing in flatwater.

    • @Mickfoil1
      @Mickfoil1 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think every variable counts to helping obviously, but there is definitely a pay off. Going narrower will help for sure but will also decrease stability. You can increase stability by increasing length and volume :)

    Great paddle up video. From your point of view: Is it easier to paddle up a board with smaller volume? Do you need to create more speed just with paddling before you start with the ollies to prevent the nose from sticking in the water when slapping down the front?

    • @Mickfoil1

    I weigh 198lbs/90KG just got a 107 L armstrong dw board mainly for lightwind.. but want to try flat water standup with no experience in that.. intermediate experience winging. I have a 1750 MA and 220 glide and 85cm mast. I have found the 107 to probably be too small for me, but i see you make it work. What i do have is determination and fit for 56 yrs old. How big of a difference would 1880 APF make in this journey? 72cm Mast? I am pretty sure more flotation would help a lot. Waiting for it to warm up just a bit.. 9 degrees F this morning in alaska. DO you think i should make the somewhat costly investment in the APF? Seems like it overlaps a bit with 1750 MA.

    • @Mickfoil1

      Hey! Definitely no overlap with the 1880apf. The 1880 has extreme low end and slow speed easy pumping. The ma1750 is harder to pop up and better top end, designed for light wind winging . Whereas rbe 1880 for dockstarts/flat water pumping!

      Hey..yeh SUP stability depends on your sup experience /skill level. If you are finding it hard to be stable on that board I will go one size up to the 121L! When you get better you can go down in size. Keep practicing and you will get better. The Armstrong dw boards are great for all found use for dw, small surf and winging !

    You like that 220 glide tail with the 925? I'm still running the HA195 tail (which is my fav) and recently demoed the 180 which I thought would feel faster, but somehow felt draggier. I thought the HA195 was specifically tuned for the HA front wings so just being curious as to what your experience has been trialing different tails. Good job on the flat water pump up! I'm nowhere close that yet!

    • @Mickfoil1

      Hey! 220 I only use to increase bottom end if needed. Mostly use the 180 and I love it much more than the 195. Much better bottom end and pitch stability at speed. You can shim it flatter if you want it to be a bit looser and less drag
