- Session 89: We had 20 knots win and over 40 knots in gusts, so I tried my first small downwinder along the lake coast!
Join me on the way to master the art of pumpfoiling. Maybe you are already a pro, started like me also as a bloody beginner or are playing with the idea to learn it, welcome to on board. Let us journey this together.

Awesome! Just one question, why not bring a 3 m wing?
because I don`t have one yet :D
Jokes aside, for downwinding the Sirus XXL is the only frontwing that I have. In the future, I might buy a smaller one. What size would you recommend?
@@FoilingPastor Understand. I'm a novice so you can't ask me these questions ;) But I think that the XXL could be a great low wind foil for wingsurfing. Oh and I was talking about a hand held wing and not the frontwing :)
@@Eric-do9jq 😂 I thought you were ironically asking for a bigger frontwing. I only have a 5m wing so far. Because with more wind, I would usually kite. If I would have one, a 3m wing would have been great for sure. Almost a bit too big, because the gusts were quite crazy.
Hi Coach
I have question and if you give answer i would be appreciated.
I have 85 cm mast and 92 cm , 4'2 matata board curve gong V2 foil set but actually i m not satisfied with them..
Whic one do you advice me?by the way i m 180 cmnlenght and 95 kg weight person.i can flown with foil set about 35 meter or so...
1-GONG FOIL ALLVATOR FRONT WING PRO FLUID - H. XXXL-H
1-GONG FOIL ALLVATOR FRONT WING CURVE H. XXXL-H
3-1- GONG FOIL ALLVATOR FRONT WING SIRUS XL
What size is your actual curve frontwing?
If I understood you right, you are considering the three options below to buy instead?
I would highly recommend you the Sirus XL or even XXL for you. It`s the best for pumping. Depending on your technical skill level, it might take a while to fly with the Sirus, so you could also buy the Curve XXXL-H which will be a bit easier. I wouldn`t consider the Fluid XXXL-H for pumping, it`s more for lightwind wingfoiling...
My front wing size is 92 xl 1900 cm2, rear wing stab 46 cm 340 cm 2 .🙏and another question i m not sure If i can adapt to my fuselage(Allavator curve 85 cm mast V2), to sirus xl or xxl front wing 😮Do i have problem pattern and screws?
@@crossfitparsturkiye2073 adapting the front wing to the fuselage V2 shouldn`t be a problem. The problem is more that the bigger frontwings need a very stiff mast and strong fuselage to hold on too. The Carbon High Modulus Mast and the Titanium Fuselage are not that cheap, but will pay off in the end. Keep in mind that this fuselage you also need a different stab connection, which will be pay off in the end as well.
I am very happy with my current setup right now. Hope that helps, otherwise feel free to ask again or you can also write the technical support of gong. They are always willing to help out and know a bit more than me
Thank you so much coach ...have a great day🤙
@@crossfitparsturkiye2073 you are welcome.
