I am 75 yrs with stroke. My walking, not so good now. Wow, what fun awaits the youngsters coming up. Enjoy your youth. This is where I wish my tax money would go to help poorer youngsters enjoy!

It takes courage to be honest this days, and specially in your position . Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I do believe you are not wrong. I had the guy from phantom calling me
and shouting at me for asking a question, when you pay so much money it’s not the service you want! I’m prepared to pay the money but I want a smile on my face when I’m using the product . Thanks

It was a pleasure hanging of the foil!

Kudos for your honesty ! that was seriously ballsy. Really hope that pans out for you your shop and your channel because everyone WILL benefit longer term

Hi Mario, nice video and exciting statement at the end. I think the issue about "production tolerances" for foils ist similar to the sail masts, isn't it. Somehow it's disappointing because the customer pays a lot but doesn't know what will be delivered.
Hand loose, Jochen

I'm still using the old pink NP should maybe upgrade one the whistling makes it feel fast

I had an f4 freerace wingfoil full carbon mast, with 2mm thick trailing edges. I switched to gong hm107 now which is great fun for me and gets me over 50kmh. 🎉

Made a few 115cm foilmasts myself and getting them thin AND stiff gets exponentially harder!

Just ordered my third Slingshot Foil....I like flying high and slow in less wind. When I'm ready to race, I'll look at the Aeon.

Looks well thought out and well made, and good on the water according to you. I'd be curious to try with my gear as you never know how it will go together. My NP F4 was nice but its short fuselage made me want more longitudinal stability. My Lokefoil provides that, but its center of lift is too far forward for my board, I spend my life seating on my front leg, despite the negative shim on the stab. Plus it is a bit treacherous, sometimes you get parasite movements from nowhere, not great to be confident on the water.

Spicy! Great insights Mario. I’m sticking to fins for now😊

In einem früheren Video hatten Sie Wingfoil und Surfen verglichen und angemerkt, dass man mit einem Surfboard einen viel größeren Bereich abdecken kann als mit einem Wingfoil. Ich überlege nach 25 Jahren wieder ein Sufboard zu kaufen, da Kiten bei uns nur eingeschränkt an zwei Stellen möglich und sofort überfüllt ist und Wingfoil viel Wind braucht und bei sehr viel Wind wieder nicht gut funktioniert. Wir haben meist recht wenig oder sehr viel Wind. Ein Foil-Surfboard habe ich mir noch nicht überlegt, es scheint aber im Vergleich zum Surfen weniger entspannt zu sein bei wechselnden und/oder unterschiedlichen Verhältnissen, dafür etwas schneller und viel teurer (?)

Great video. I’m a relative novice with foiling, using a Starboard Freeride foil set up (and Starboard Freeride 150 foil board). Trying to get the right rear shim versus UJ position, to balance everything out is still annoying me, as I try to sail the thing at a consistent ride height. In 2024, I’m staggered that production tolerance is so bad in this expensive (for individuals to purchase) kit as you say. Is the same true of carbon masts and fins?

[sksiakk]

I have the Starboard IQFoil one and I feel slow as hell. Especially since mine is actually ASYMETRICAL (about 2/3mm towards one side) but because of buyin it second hand I can’t really complain…
Not enough money for the better ones 😅

Good video. I am planning to buy this AEON foil for next season. I am on Z fins now. Before that had the Starboard. For me, the Z is faster, more controll but less stable and more with the Dolphin effect. I hope to find the stability in the AEON and for sure the speed. Did 57 max on the Z now.

Hi Mario Very interesting to hear your thoughts on the AEON foil system, especially the quality control from the point of view of not only an expert rider but also shop owner and dealer!. As a freeride intermediate windfoiler I am not really in the market for such expensive high performance equipment BUT do you have any experience of the Patrik's more affordable AIO windsurf foils? I do not see any visibility of this product line in the windsurf media but only on Patrick's own website.

[zapzerap]

Respect for your honest opinion.
At which spot did you film the videos?

[surferkaspert]

Epic drone shots❤. Next weekend we test the alu fuse against the titanium. Thanks for providing the perfect excuse for me not winning any races on my iq set. 😊😊😊😊

[markopanger]

After using my old foil for a handful of years by now this is on my radar for sure. What would you recommend as a freerace and more affordable set with 2 front wings? Wind range 10kn to 18kn. Past this, I'm still grabbing my fin setup, sorry 😅

[BlueMoonday]

Awesome video. What was the music during the foiling please, that was cool too?
