5 minutes 😂😂😂, love the energy
Thank you so much!
He's like the Tony Robbins of wind sports!
Welcome to the club Colorado Mike. It's the most fun I have had on the water in a long time. And Damien and Gwenn are excellent teachers...
I just love this guys energy and enthusiasm! Damien you are a breath of fresh air, just discovered your podcast too, we need more people like you in the world.🤟
Amen John! Thanks for the kind words, we appreciate you!
A really, really good, immensely practical, and inspirational video.
When individuals tell you something is hugely difficult to learn, your minset is established. Damien, your approach is from an upbeat “You can do this.”
And so we will. 😁
Thank you! We appreciate you.
No argument. But still...its hugely difficult to learn. Looks like patience, perserverence and being ok with failure are key. Hardest part looks like being on your knees, learning the wind. And if you're a long ways out on the water, and the wind suddenly dies, you're in for a long swim, right?
Thanks for converting me to Wing foling. Watch all the videos and was up and running in 5 sessions. Made my summer. Thanks!
This made our day! Thank you Richard so happy for you!
wow thats awesome glad to hear
You guys rock! I just taught a friend in 3 days and they are hooked! We met at Dalaney's in La Ventana years ago. Thanks for the stoke and great videos. They helped me a ton.
Chris so happy to hear! Love this... Thank you for sharing.
Greatest summary I have seen so far. Everybody who wants to learn how to wingfoil with me or wants to test some wingfoil gear will have to watch this video first :) !!
Right on thanks Daniel.
I totally agree! I love his energy 😊
I love this dudes positive vibes, thanks man!
Thank you Mark!
Love all your videos, they are a massive help and I love your uplifting enthusiasm. Thank you.
Thank you Rob we appreciate you!
Thanks again for the tips. I just got my gear and I'm ready for the steep curve. In this vid, you clearly showed how to keep the wing tips out of the water.
Thank you friend... Feel free to click on the other more in-depth videos we have, to really help your learning process. Have the best day ever!
I am starting to enjoy watching your videos, so positive full of energy and fun. Great job
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Just bought my first wing!! Gonna start on a mountain board to get the hang of it but excited to transition to wing foiling!!
Thank u, Damien! I’m 53 and wanna learn. Gonna do it when I go to my house in Maui in a month.
What an amazing speech👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Damien- my Hero😎
Thanks for the kind words! Gave it my best shot... Ahhhhhhh
Love you guys - big thanks for the constructive vids
Thanks - this demystified the process.
Awesome tips as always!
I just learned last week. My tips for anyone: you’re gonna end up downwind so just let it happen. Let the wind take you and get some speed. Then use your rails to turn. Then get up on foil and letttteriptaterchip.
Definitely helps having a friend to learn with to help carry gear.
Thank you for sharing....
Just got my first wing, very excited to start the learning process!
Enjoy Cory! You are going to love it.....
How was it, was it hard to learn ?
As the TH-cam algorithm introduced, I just looked down and suddenly the first picture caught my eye, so I looked up again and it was your video. Thanks to watching your video, it revolves in my heart as if it were wrapped around me with beautiful and good energy. I think I'm obsessed with the algorithm. The quality is good and the best. Thank you for the space-like algorithm that made it possible to watch good videos. Your video really touches my heart. Even if I watch it over and over again, it is your video that I want to watch over and over again. The scent of your video still lingers in the early morning cafe window where I'm watching your video, so I'm playing the guitar and playing harmonica like this. How much devotion and effort did you put into your heart so that I couldn't break my heart from seeing you immersed in such a wonderful and beautiful image? Even if we all leave without a trace as time goes by, I hope that your beautiful and precious video channel will never be forgotten and shine forever. How did your channel have such a wonderful talent that is full of strange charms unique to your videos? You have the ability to make the moment wonderful and attractive. I think your video is a good video and a talented person. I sincerely repay the praise and support filled with my sincerity with a small gift. I am amazed at the excellence of your skills and thank you for taking the time to warm my heart and make me feel at ease. Another day It's getting farther away and it's going to be night. I still don't know what I am living with in my memories that change day by day. Under the dawn sky where the cold wind blows in autumn, your videos are so beautiful and enchanting.
What Can I say thank you so much for the kind words Kim! Gwen and I are so incredibly grateful for the kind words. So thankful for you!
Eric from Ottawa/Canada: Excited to get in on this sport in its infancy! Super thankful to Damien and his team for showing us the way! (Also - I lived in Jupiter FL and learned to kite at Kite Beach between ‘09-‘12 so your videos make me so homesick to be back there!
Eric your going to love it! Jupiter misses you buddy! Enjoy the learning process.....
Eric man! I'm in Ottawa. Did you end up trying it out?
First Comment! Love your Channel, man!! You taught me getting on foil and jibing. Next project: tacking. Thanks for all the good advice!
Thank you friend we appriciate you!
Awesome thanks Damien! Great information.
Thank you!
Best wing foil video ever!! Thank you Damien!!!
Thank you Felix we appreciate you!
This is interesting, I might have to try it.
Hi. Love it. I'm a kite foiler, and I think you got me across the line to give this a shot soon. But still loving kite foiling - so I'll do both hopefully. Regards.
You will fall in love with it! Get yourself a wing! :)
Great energy mate! Very inspirational
Thank you Tim! We appreciate you!
I used to windsurf a lot, I still have my old Mistral set up from the 80s. I made a foil last year for behind the boat, but this looks fun, I just can’t afford the sail right now. Do you think a person could make their own sail
Love it, got me stoked to get out there!
Awesome!
Thank you!!!! Can’t wait to get my gear!!!
Thank you my brother!
scooping the wind up... great analogy & tip! - next vid I want to see starting on a "sinker" board
We have it buddy! th-cam.com/video/5p2YS9MjR2I/w-d-xo.html
Amazing video
Awesome video!!!
Thank you Fred!
thanks for the videos and enthusiasm! I am a subscriber trying to learn this stuff. love it! What would help is more detail about what your feet/hands are doing when you tack/jibe. There are too many ways to do the same thing.
Have a look at the switch feet video, it is all very similar friend........th-cam.com/video/W716ylzLA5M/w-d-xo.html
Ty for Ur ARTICULATION 👍 VERY COMPREHENSIBLE
Very good video.
Thank you!
Love the messages of positivity in all your videos. Mahalo for sharing your knowledge. Question: After I learn to handle my wing on my old windsurfing board what do you think if I were to use a wing board with just the mast initially without putting on the foils....baby steps. Slow learner, 70 year old. Thanks.
Sam you can for sure, but I would though the foil on and go for it as it will be similar to your windsurfing board. You might as well go for it then with the foil on it. You got this friend.
Great video. I'm so pleased you put the specifications for a standard kit. Can you tell me please, what a 2000 front foil means and does the back need to match?
2000 is square centimeters in size. Back wing will be different sizes. The bigger the more stable and more drag. Smaller twitchier and less drag. Simple as I can make it.....
Niiice! Great info, Been watching your's and Gwen's edits for the last month from Colorado. Was out on icey cold Twin Lakes near Leadville all day yesterday with my new Cabrinah Crosswing X2 in a 6m on a SUP getting blown downwind all afternoon but I loved it. Foil gets here next week and it's game on!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Yea Mike! Epic! Your summer is going to be all time. Thank you we appreciate you!
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam Thanks Damien! We appreciate YOU! Hey quick question though: Curious how many degrees upwind can an average/new foiler expect to be able to make tacking upwind when starting out vs when you're pretty experienced?
@@ColoradoMikeC Thats a tough question! The foil really helps make angles amazing going into the wind vs a wakeboard or twin tip. A new foiler will struggle to stay up wind at first as they are falling so much, IE getting blown down wind as they try to stand up and go again. If you are new and up on foil for a steady amount of time its easy to gain ground and go up wind as its a foil. Angle into the wind I am not 100% sure but it can be incredible for sure.... Sorry not a ton of help there....
Great tips looking to try it this up coming season
Glad we could help!
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam Went wing foiling for the first time today. A lot harder than I thought good work out. Was able to ride the one way standing up but couldn't get up I the foil
@@t3jf For your first day that is incredible great work!
Hhhhaaaa how inspiring ❤❤❤
Beautiful. I hang glide and want to try this
You will love it!
Bravo j'adore tes vidéos. 🤙
Thank you!
Thank you, Damien! In 2h my first Wingfoil session starts! Yeehaaaaa
Congrats enjoy the ride! So rewarding it only gets better!
Awesome vidz. Do you know of exercises one can do on land to practice balance ? Board on a ball ?
th-cam.com/video/Cg3DRrtiMk8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/eyVmvPSw13Q/w-d-xo.html
thank you sir! Love your videos. Try to add your advises for my next beginner session here in Germany. Do you think 160L is to much for 90kg and 191cm?
Volume is always helpful when learning but length can be a disadvantage because you have too long of a water line which makes the board sticky when you try to get up on foil. So a 160L board at 6 feet will perform a whole lot better than a 160 at 10 feet. Thank you for watching and we wish you well on your next sessions coming up!
As usual... another great video!!!..... The front wing Mr. Legend is carrying out of the water is a 2100cm2 one?
Could you do a video on performance between the different sizes of front foils? I come from a windsurfing background and love speed.
Thank you very much for sharing
We will see what we can do, got a bunch of videos on the way but will try to add it in friend! Thank you!
Wow, nice video, question how do you leave your board and wing on a windy beach to make sure they are secure??
Got a video on it friend here.... th-cam.com/video/hZMDgN2ny3s/w-d-xo.html
Get it!
Thank you 😁
Thank you!
Hey Damien, love the videos. I’m really keen to get into wing foiling. Only thing is I have a fused shoulder joint from a previous accident. The shoulder is strong but limited mobility. I can raise it to 90 degree out front.
Do you think I’d still be able to wing with limited shoulder mobility?
I do mountain biking just fine with it.
Cheers
Jesse
Jesse, I am probably the worst guy to ask as I feel anything is possible with the right mind set. :) You can always look up a local instructor, take a lesson and see if it could work, to test it. I hope that helps.
Love e videos! I don’t live by an ocean but would love to wing foil. My question is are you able to wing foil at a lake? What kts are required to wing foil at a lake and what size should my wing and board be?
Max for sure you can wing in a lake. You are looking for 15 to 20mph if you can get it on the lower side. A good size in light winds is a 6 meter wing. Board depending on size but this video will help you th-cam.com/video/Ob_LBP45pZ8/w-d-xo.html
We have 5-30 mph winds and choppy water. Gorge. It's very challenging compared to some videos with consistent winds and smoother water??????? I can see that wing and board pumping is everything. Gotta get on the foil ASAP! I've talked to other old windsurfers and they're not even going to try.
Your going to love it.
As a beginner (170 lbs) and a senior in light winds 14 to 25 what is the best 1st wing to buy 5M or 6M
Friend, I would always go bigger as winds are usually lighter than windier, 6m. Also easier to to learn in lighter winds and less crazy, than cranking windy and waves. If your location is on the lighter side on average go 6m if its on the 25+ on average go 5m.
where do you recommend to learn Wing Foiling in late October? Preferably warm? Any school/shop info.?
A lot of great places in South Florida. A tone of Kite shops that do wing lessons. Just depends where you want to go east coast or west coast.
That small board looks so sick, need such a big gust to pop up tho right?
Yea its a lot harder there is know question!
How much is the gear in 2-2024? In New England

@Damien Leroy, Hello Damien. Thank you for all your videos, very clear even for a not native. I can't find on internet tips about how to start when there are waves and shore break without breaking the wings or be hurt by the foil. Could you help on it or do a video? It could help beginners. (and thank you for all the kind messages at the ends of your video)
Sure thing! I actually believe it is coming next week.. We have it coming.. Thank you for being apart of the family! We appreciate you...
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam Thank you very much for the new video about this subject...
@@nicolasmercier38 Thank you friend.....
I have a question about the wings. Do they work like a sail that catches the wind or more like a wing that generates lift?
I would say more like a sail that catches wind. yep!
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam So it is probably only a matter of time before someone comes up with a wing design that actually creates lift upwind ... By the way, great video content. Your videos hyped me so much that I'll start next spring too :)
@@JackTheJumper93 Agreed! We very much appreciate you friend.
LOL, awesome!
Thx
Thank you!
Best way to get gear cheap advice ? Alibaba? Any suggestions?
I would speak with a retailer/shop they always have used gear but then you at least get knowledge as well with it. Our thoughts or reach out to Order your wingsurfing gear, kiteboarding gear, foiling gear at adventuresportsusa.com/?ref=DAMO and support us and the TH-cam channel!

What is the sunglasses brand he is wearing ?
Oakley
I'd also add knee pads... Spent hours on the water trying to practice in light winds on a board that is a little too small for my beginner self. Completely destroyed my knees. I thought my board was somehow getting dirt on it, but it was just blood coming from knees.. Put in an order for some knee pads as soon as I got back.
Great advise for everyone!
Eh. No boards I have ever seen ate sold in litres. Maybe Its a USA thing.? I am new to boarding and size of board has confused me but the seem to sell by length. The number of litres ? Seems weird. I will look for another video.

How much is this
Prices very, but more info in the description of the video friend... Have a great week!
Agree with everything, except for no beginner should be foiling in anything over 20kts. 30 is a shit ton. And no one is winging in 35+.
Rippin
jajaja good video but i expected some more details jeje
I can't believe this is a thing.
Great video! Thanks. My friend @OCEANBOUND sent me to your channel for how to videos.
Brother come to Dubai.I one selfie 🤳 with you,,now me live in Dubai
Would be awesome! One day!
Its how to learn it in 3:20 min - Skip first 1:40😂
I'll stick to windsurfing.
Windsurfing is fun too!
I've stopped watching at 4:09. Was able to learn in almost one minute less.
Being not so good in aural english and blame to wind noise, can't understand and there is no subtitle. Sad.
Check out the full video! th-cam.com/video/xsMJZZMJcv0/w-d-xo.html
