Great Tip on the Downwind Bump Launch. Excellent POV, Nice Riding!

Thanks for the great demo and advise! Much appreciated and looking forward to following you into this tech for light wind.
Reminds me a bit of transitioning from windsurfing to kite in early days thinking we would only go to this in light conditions……so I’d only want a 17M!

This is really random, we met early November at the Hole in Hatteras and you were the only one out then as well! lol I'm looking to get a DW board for light wind winging and your video came up in my feed! Great video, you are killing it on that board.

After I got back from Hatteras I bought a 6m wing and have been loving it. My buddy (who was with me at the hole) and I went the other in 8-10kn. It was a struggle getting on foil but once up the 6m was amazing. Thats the lightest I've been in and it was real challenging to jibe. Gonna start practicing race jibes as you suggested!

LOL great review! I've been the only one out a lot at the hole (Hatteras) so I know how you feel. Not too bad! If these boards get popular enough I'll have to add board aspect ratio to my "L" formula! 😀

After watching your clip I searched for a Naish 2140 foil. Got to use it today, ice finally off the lakes. 8-15 mph winds😄

I went 8’x21” with a 5.0 Naish matador. It’s a new world.

considering your 68Kg, why you did not consider the 96L ? that's much shorter and better for general agility... don't you feel the " canoa effect" on the 107L for turning?

It’s only money and you need an”RV” full of toys, Larry

Nice video, but dude, you need to change most of your thumbnails.

Judging by trees, seems enough wind for good kitefoil session… why not go kitefoil instead when wind is light?

[wingcoachdavid]

Oh yeah, do you think you could have used a smaller wing? Maybe a 6? My friend Bill W has a downwind board and he says it makes his 6 go in 5 knots or so...
