Oh boy, those girls on the beach upwind are in trouble now!

[nickswampah]

Your videos are short and to the point, without going on about say why upwind is important. As someone said long ago (u probably know who) better less but better! Thanks for the great video.

[markoposavec]

Awesome... so far the best in depth vid on going up wind with the foil!

[noohohno]

Much appreciate. Old windsurfer, newbie foiler. Congrats on your Elimination Final win @ Tiberius. Good luck in Croatia!

[jantheman]

Thanks for your excellent tips, i will figure it out😉🙋🤙

[sanderdekeyser]

Thanks a lot for following my comment, amazing tips and great shots!!!!

[djmistaboy]

I can't wait to try this tips on my next foil session. Super tips and really well explained.

[blueclissi]

Thank you very much, great advice ... now let's go straight to that beach;)

[jean-benoitdelpybourcart]

hello everyone, great video. But i don’t understand a point: does it mean that long harness lines and body position with straight back and bum out is good for going on a reach only?

[michal]

Do you have any tips for the same foiling on freeride foil?

[surfaluksnietis]

Labas, Rytis! Ačiū, geras vido! Please tell about when you are – all the time strong (like flat) for any wind conditions or sometimes release it, when wind is light?

[sanderdekeyser]

I have a question. I teach windsurfing in Belgium at the Windsurfing Federation. From 2021 I will not only teach slalom but also foiling. May I use your video's for these teaching purposes since I think you explain everything very carefully with great shots and detailed movement explanations?

[jrse]

Nailed it! Too bad there is corona going on. Would have loved to have done some neat droneshots.

[diogodabadie]

Hi Rys,

Amazing video, once again.
If you have the time,
Which wing size and span are best for course racing? And for a solid upwind?
Is 750 enough?
Also, fuselage wise, what do you recommend?

Thanks?

[Willy-Wind]

Great tutorial, as usual. What about more outhaul to help going upwind? Can that help?

BTW, that blanket behind you reminded me of the one my grandma made for me many years ago!

[qbacody]

interesting video, now show how to safely slide down in strong wind

[daanvinckwindsurfing]

maybe you can make a video about how to pump when you are flying on the foil.

[markivanov]

He did not tell all secrets. 😄 There is a secret: When you go, you need to open the sail a little twisting the body in the direction of the movement and as if to give up-forward to the wind, and then re-close, that is, all the time trying to bring it forward-up to the wind a little under-closed, this is the most ideal position for going upwind. In this way, the sail has the minimum drag and the maximum thrust forward, that is, the sail begins to pull you forward and up into the wind. And we control the speed, we slow down a little, sail a learn little back, thereby increasing the apparent wind, if you still slow down, then you need to bear away, there is a whole art and thousand hours of practice are always needed in a pair with someone.

Thanks Rytis!
Do you recommend raking the sail back to close the gap like in normal windsurfing?

[iotarask]

What might be cool (but not sure it’s feasible) would be to show beginner/advanced riders typical foiling mistakes, and help them correct these (like before/after). To always see perfect execution is good, but many will only be able to correct something when they see their own mistakes first.
