Boy, Switzerland is a beauty! And congrats on pumping 2:17! What an achievement! I'll try 2 minutes on the Axis 1310 tomorrow.. but I'm actually closer to 1min :-/
Yes, Switzerland is insane. That’s not even the most beautiful lake to pump. I guess pumping that long takes quite a time to refine your technical precision. So don’t get frustrated. I had troubles getting the minute for almost a year. So, don’t lose hope and one day you will crush the two minutes for sure.
That seemed much farther than 511 meters! I thought for sure that was at least 1 km. Excellent effort! I do not know how to dock start...yet. Also, what a beautiful place to foil!
Thank you very much. It always seems so far and long, but my watch has always a different opinion 😅 You should definitely learn the dockstart. It’s a great training on many different levels. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We have all been there and know how hard and frustrating it can sometimes feel.
@@FoilingPastor LOL! Yes, sometime soon I'm sure I will try it. I am only 1 year into prone foiling and wing foiling. So many foiling disciplines to try for more fun!
@@jeromesurffoil7033 sounds great. Being able to prone and wing foil will make it easier to learn dockstart. I learned foiling with dockstarting what takes crazy long.
yes, I would. It might take some while to get used to as a beginner, but you will be able to stay with that frontwing without needing another frontwing
@@mulhauserthomas1325 that`s really difficult for me to say, you can always write the support of Gong and ask them. They have a bit more experience than me. I think the XXL should be fine. You will definitely gain lift, but loose turning ability with the XXXL. So I guess XXL should be enough.
Über 500m... Stark und wieder über 20 kmh in der Spitze, der scheint deutlich schneller zu sein als der Sab und auch als Axis 1150/1310, (gehen bei uns immer so 16/17, 17/18 in der Spitze).
Ja, ich war auch erstaunt. Weil ich sogar mit grossem Stab schneller bin als der Fluid XXLT mit Fast Stab. Gong scheint eine wirklich gute Idee gehabt zu haben, wie man so grosse Flügel bauen muss. Auch was Kurven angeht, bin ich positiv überrascht.
Great 👍 With this setup at 97kg I managed to lower my cruising speed to 16km/h. The 3 people I know who managed 3-8min manage to lower it down to 11-13km/h depending on their weight. Your average speed looks quite high on this video, do you have it from the GPS logs?
Yes, i have it from my Garmin watch which should be accurate. I guess my problem is that I always pump too fast, but I struggle to pump slower without losing too much height and too much speed. Any tips? Do you prefer some pump-and-glide rhythms or just slower pumping in general?
@@FoilingPastor for now my best results are with pumping 4 times, letting glide, repeat. But my record is 2min20s so I'm not there yet. A friend who did 6 min in 10-15kn half downwind, half upwind is just pumping slowly.
@@yohann.roussel thanks for your thoughts. I guess half downwind and half upwind changes the game quite a bit. I guess I will experiment with that in the next coming months.

Beautiful surroundings!
Yes, indeed
Looks awesome!
Awesome!!
Thank you very much

@@jeromesurffoil7033 where are you based?
@@FoilingPastor I am on the Gulf Coast of Texas, near Houston/Galveston area. We have decent waves and good winds and warm water.
Would recommend this wing for beginners ?
yes, I would. It might take some while to get used to as a beginner, but you will be able to stay with that frontwing without needing another frontwing
@@FoilingPastor thank you for the answer - I saw that Gong offers even bigger Sirius Wings - i am close to 90 kg - would you go bigger than the XXL ?

Nice run.! Would like to know your Heart Rate during your session
Much too high 😥😂 172 was the peak
Sheesh! Epic!
😅 have you applied for a power pumper hat?
Thanks a lot. I haven’t applied yet, but if I think of it, I will apply in the next coming days
Go get your well-deserved trophy! 🏆
WOW. And your weight is?
65kg
Great 👍

@@FoilingPastor yeah, that's my plan too
@@yohann.roussel sounds great, let`s keep each other updated
Wow, congrats!! Wie anstrengend is sowas eigentlich?
Danke, also brutal anstrengend. Aber es motiviert mich dann, etwas für meine Kondition zu tun und ist auch eine gute Übung.
