- When you are a beginner at efoiling, you will fall.. but there is a good and a bad way to fall with an efoil. Yes!
I don't know if we can call efoiling an extreme sport, but it can hurt and you can get hurt bad! Unless you know what to do when things goes wrong and that you protect yourself with protecting gears.
The only real danger with efoiling is falling on your own foil, mast or propeller. It is sharp and it cuts. So to avoid this, the best advice is to bail out whenever you have the chance and that you feel you are losing balance.. It's ok to bail out! Take your time. Just get back on the board and keep having fun.
Always focus on your riding (and not the camera or the people watching you..) - กีฬา
Nice to see that even such an experienced guy like you is falling. That means everything is okay with me:) I was beginning to think I can't do this as good as on TH-cam.
Yeah falling is normal especially when you are still learning/getting comfortable. This video is over 3 years old and Most of these mistakes don't happen to me anymore 😉👍
thank you for sharing wipeouts, it's good for beginners to see potential problems.. most of them are very scary since you are without a helmet.
The first one was really funny though when you are riding like in the middle of the ocean and then realize it's knee deep there lol 👍👍👍
Thank you mate! Yeah I should wear a helmet but even though I don't, I still recommend to wear one and a life jacket at the end of the video 😉
And yesss that first Wipeout was unexpected! I knew it wasn't deep in that area but expected it to be much further. Its a good lesson as well. It's best to know your spot to avoid this kind of issues. I got lucky because it's only sand and sea weeds at the bottom. But it could have been rocks or corals in other areas. The board took it like a boss this time!
Hands to face when bailing in front; golden 🌟
Great advice and very practical videos. Can I ask - what kind of backpack are you wearing in some of the shots?
Hey mate thanks! Brand is FEActive and found it on Amazon. 👍
Love my Waydoo One mainly riding in Orlando Florida on lakes. Can't wait to try the ocean soon any recommendations?
Great man! Only recommendation would be to clean up well your material with fresh water asap after your session. Once dry I brush what's left of the salt. If the ocean is wavy then use a coiled leash attached to your knee and to the side handle of the board. In wavy conditions sometimes its challenging to get back to your board after a fall. Have fuuuuuun and keep safe!!
I want 1 it looks nice asf
It is... as fun as it gets 👌
I ride a Onewheel and skateboard. Getting hurt/injured is part of the game. How does that compare to eFoils? I've jumped off 10 meter boards and fell with water skis going fast, not biggie. Are your wipeouts no biggies as well? Asked another way, have you ever sustained an injury that kept you from eFoiling for at least a day? Or just flat out stopped you for the day?
Funny that you ask because my next video is about my worst injury while efoiling and how it happened (and how to prevent it). I have been skateboarding, snowboarding and wakeboarding all my life so I am no stranger to big slams, broken bones, and bad injuries. EFoiling is rather safe compared to other "extreme" sports and all of these wipeouts happened when I was still learning, pushing this machine to figure out its limite and maybe feeling too confident at some point. Out of all these wipeouts, only one got me seriously hurt. It didn't keep me from riding that day but later on I started to feel pain in my chest. My ribs were hurting as I fell directly on my board and mast. At night and the 4 following weeks I couldn't take a deep breath and wasn't able to do any physical activities. So that's the most commun thing and the biggest risk while efoiling. Falling on you own material. But again that mostly happens while learning.
Thank you for commenting and don't hesitate to subscribe so you won't miss the next video 😉
sweeet, 61 just got mine goin off......many crashes just like yours, no selfie stick...... helmet cam, and yeah pay attention or smash ya face eh.....foil on fukrs sickest ride eh👍👍🦾🦾👌👌🍻🍻✌✌🤳cheers
🤙🤙👏👏👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂😂Bloopers!!
festival de cagadas! 😉
Wow... some of those wipeouts seems really dangerous (with the sharp foil nearly cutting you). And riding alone, without even a helmet...
They seem but aren't.. That was my first 6 months now I ve been efoiling intensively for over 3 years and only once got injured at the beginning. With a bit of experience you know how to fall (and don't fall much). I agree life jacket and helmet is best but.. Not for me I'm a bit loco 😂
Is the wing strong enough to take hits like that first fall?
I guess it depends on the model, on what you hit in the bottom and at what speed. This one took it like a boss but I wouldn't repeat ;)
In this kind of incident I think the impact would damage first where the mast connects to the board.
Is that the waydoo? How is it holding up?
Perfectly well 👍 still going strong
any chance you might suggest wearing a helmet? and don't squeeze trigger when swimming back to board.(it might still be on)
I actually do recommend to wear a helmet and a life jacket at the end of the video ;) Maybe I should have started with this..
@@NEPTUNEFOIL Ok, I didn't wait to see the finish...good job !!
Steve Johns helmets are a big no no in the riding community. Especially for faster sports like skiing and wakeboarding, they increase surface area when you hit the water leading to more concussions etc.
Waydoo is very loud. Are you happy with the Board?
The actual upgraded mast is much more quiet. I'm trying it in my last video. At the beginning there is no soundtrack so u can hear it.
Yes I am happy with many aspects of it. Love the epp foam for my club. Love its lightweight, the plug n play system and the travel bag 👌
Check it out th-cam.com/video/uqr-OMHmPXg/w-d-xo.html
@@NEPTUNEFOIL thanks a lot, the reason I'm asking is because I heard some serious things about waydoo. Batteries catching fire, mast breakage, controller not waterproof and runaways. Because of these reasons I built my own efoil. Check it out on my second channel here:
@@felixt.467 The only case of fire where a Waydoo battery was suspected after a house burn down was in fact cleared after the official report was released by the fire dep. But u know rumors how quick it spread.
First year of Waydoo wasn't perfect with some breaks and failures but all taken under warranty. Now on, things should get better and better. I personally didn't experience many issues appart from a remote replacement.
Wait until you see the hydroflyer
Why keep your hands up? To avoid the propeller?
No, it's to avoid the board when you fall in front of it.. you never know it might be coming towards you. When possible, best is to jump on the side when losing balance.
@@NEPTUNEFOIL Oh yeah that makes sense, thanks!
I don’t get the efoil. I did one to learn foiling but that’s about it. I just didn’t get any special feelings about it.
That's very surprising I'd like to think that If you didn't get the feeling then you didn't do it right..
rule XX. Wear a buoyancy vest!
Yes mentionned life jacket and helmet at the end..
@@NEPTUNEFOIL Now I've seen it. 🤙🤙
Should have encourage to wear a life jacket important for any water sports....
Yeah I did at the very end of the video.. Maybe I should have started with this.
Meh not really. Only if your just learning. I surf and wakeboard without a vest, but I’ve grown up on the water. Lots of times vests are very restrictive and can cause you not to bail properly which can lead to injury.
Aren’t you bored after about 10 mins on one of these?
Not at all.. Actually been doing this intensively for over 3 years now and running a school. Why would you get bored?? It's the best toy atm to me. Flying over the water what can be boring? And it's not only riding straight. Carving, playing in waves or with boat wakes. Learning and creating new tricks (still a lot to invent since it's pretty new). You can go ride in any conditions.. Wind, no wind, wave, flat, river, lakes, sea, ocean.. Why make u think it's boring? People are boring.. Not efoiling
Now we know how loud this shit is... Not a 'nature experience' ..
thank you for your kind words! The Gopro tend to amplify the sound. It's really not the same when you are riding it.
Aslo this model was the very first version from last summer. the new one is much more quiet. You can hear it at the begining of my video called "Simple Efoil anywhere". Other very expensive brands are very silent.
Then I must say, if you are looking for a "nature experience"... you shouldn't look at any electic shit at all..
and the very first wipeout of this video was with a Takuma.. not a Waydoo..
If you care about sea life dont buy one of these boards. They are killing our Dolphins here in Cape Town!
I think you are mistaking with the traditional surf foil (or wing/kite foil) without engine. These ones don't make any noise and can catch an animal by surprise. The electric foil has an engine and a propeller and make noise so sea life can hear/feel it coming and dive. Same as a motor boat. I have never heard of any incident with an Efoil. Got a friend who owns an Efoil school in Mayotte where there are loads of turtles (that he loves) and nothing bad ever happened. If you hit something riding an Efoil you will notice because it will make you fall.
So hitting and killing a dolphin sounds unrealistic..
