LEARNING TO HYDROFOIL - NORTH SPEEDSTER

First couple days of me learning to kite foil. I was using the North Speedster hydrofoil - a very easy and fast piece of equipment!! At first it was a little difficult but after 30 minutes or so I started to get the hang of it and do consistent runs. I found that the trick to foiling is forgetting about putting an edge in and changing your stance to put your weight over the front.

Location: Safety Bay, Western Australia
Sponsors: WASURF, North Kiteboarding
Equipment: 10/13m North Neo, 2018 North Speedster foil

Love the video! In the learning proces myself and a bit behind on uploading but I can tell you it took me longer than 30 minutes to start actually flying the foil! Lots of wipe-outs but loving every minute. And so are you clearly. How are you getting on now?? Cheers from Qatar +sub

is this 90 cm or 60 cm mast ?
after trying for 1.5h the IC6 f-one on 90 cm mast I could manage to get on the board and keep it flat...
After that I tried the speedster on 60 mast, and it was so easy... i managed to fly on my first session, almost passed my gybes... on a short mast this foil is just easy...
