If you come across these comments, can you please share what size board, foils and mast you are using? I’m currently trying to figure out how to get up on the foils and having a bad time of it. I’ve been using a 185 litre F-One Rocket Air inflatable board as I quickly concluded that my original purchase of a 105 litre Fanatic Sky Sup seems too small to learn on. I’m using the Slingshot 15” taxi mast and the Slingshot 84 front foil. I’m also curious how many sessions it took before you were able to get up on the foils.
@@sjsomething4936 this is a Go Foil set up. 135L board. (Rider is 150lbs) an 80cm mast and 1770 front wing 17 tail. The Go Foil set ups have proven to be great set ups for learning as well as advanced riding. It’s a simple plug and play system. No shims. One piece mast, fuse, and base plate. Not a massive line up of foils to be confusing. The GT series is the Go To set up. Carves great and super forgiving.
@ awesome, thanks so much for your reply! One piece would definitely be helpful for ensuring minimal flex and loss of efficiency / power. I think I need a smaller board of about 135-140 litres until I’m proficient enough to tackle the 105. Eventually when I get to be good enough at riding I’ll look to change up my equipment and go carbon or the 1 piece. The gusty wind in our area definitely doesn’t lend itself to learning, one moment it’s blowing like a demon and the next it’s nearly gone.
@ bigger board for learning will pay dividends later. You will expend too much energy fighting the board. I usually start new riders off on a 170L and then progressively get smaller. 170 is not practical for someone to buy, but is great in a learning environment. Inflatable boards are also notoriously slow and need a decent amount of extra wind to get Lift.
@ ah, man I wish I had known that (inflatables needing more wind power) before 😂😭. Oh well, it will probably become a SUP for my wife, she’s pretty short so it is definitely big enough for that. Thank you for all the info. If I’m down in the Chesapeake area and still flailing I’ll come and pay for some lessons!
Awesome! I’m on my 5th session and yet to get on foil. Well done 👏👏
