Aloha pals! It's Robert Stehlik with Blue World Surf. Today. I'm going to discuss establishing your foil gear. It's a inquiry we get a great deal: How do I establish the foil, where to place it, where to place foot bands, just how to put your feet on the board, what type of board to get. I'm additionally going to speak about what sort of equipment to use as a beginner.

And also as a advanced foiler and for different sporting activities- this is my stand-up paddle foil board. I have a wing foil board and a prone full board. I'm mosting likely to talk about the boards, use the foils utilized. And afterwards I'm also going to discuss foot positioning, just how to figure out where to position your feet and also just how to attach a foot band to your board.

This video is going to be a little bit much longer. We have a great deal of information on our site as well as on YouTube. So down listed below in the summary, I'll place a great deal of web links to other video clips and also links that will help you additionally in the process. The last video clip I published was an interview with Kane De Wilde as well as he has a lot of truly excellent understanding on foil setups and so on.

And he said, he always suches as to try great deals of different arrangements and also figure out what works as well as really feel it out. And that makes a lot of feeling to me. The more. You can check points the more, just how things interact and also how to optimize your setup and also having a excellent setup, particularly the foil working well with your skill as well as exactly how you utilize it is very essential.

Having a great foil established up as well as the best board as well as after that a great wing, all those points together will immediately simply make you much better right away. These days I mostly into wing hindering. This is the board I utilize the most right here is my my four six by 78 litre wing foil board. What I talk about right here today applies to all 4 sporting activities, consisting of prone browse foiling, wing foiling, and standup hindering.

So I started foiling regarding five years earlier. And if you recall via the YouTube background of videos, you'll see, I initially started on an 8'0 Defend foil board that I just placed a Tuttle box into and that worked well to start on as well as learn on.

And then after that I would certainly constructed a devoted foil board. That was a 7'6. As well as quite soon I seemed like it was too big as well as the tail was dragging and more. I cut off the tail just to see what occurred and made it right into a 6'11, and also then that functioned really well. And I identified, yeah, having that shorter swing weight as well as the shorter board truly aids when you're hindering up on foil.

And afterwards I've been advancing gradually, been evaluating smaller as well as smaller sized boards. And also now what I use for wing hindering is a 4 six, which is quite small. And for susceptible surf hindering I utilize a comparable size board. This here is a 3'10. I utilize this primarily for practicing my dock Begins, which I'm not excellent at yet, yet dealing with that, attempting to dock begin and also pump.

And after that for standup hindering, I use this board here. It's a 5 8 by 114 litre board for standing dropping. I just need more stability.

The wing master board is terrific for wing flooding, but it's not steady sufficient for me to stand up paddle on possibly a lighter weight. A paddler with truly excellent equilibrium could be able to stand up paddle on this. Yet generally speaking, this board is mosting likely to be as well little for most individuals to stand paddle for long. Something like this, the 5'8 Actually nice. Stand-up foil board likewise functions well as a wing foil board due to the fact that wing declaring, you have the wit lift of the wing. So you don't need quite as much security as you do for standup and also jumping while you're defending getting going as well as wing hindering and also standup hindering.

I advise getting a larger, steady board. In our array, we have the 6 '11 as well as the 7'6 Easy Foiler models. Those are really excellent boards for discovering how to Stand up paddle foil and also wing foil. And after that as you get better and you're comfortable standing up as well as you can perhaps switch your feet around as well as do all the essentials on a bigger board, after that you prepare to go some to something smaller sized, perhaps something similar to this 5, eight Carver foil board, or for a bit advanced for, as well as these Wingmaster boards are amazing. However this is not mosting likely to be your first Wingfoil board, it's going take a larger board to first find out the fundamentals on, and then you can work your method down to a little board like this. For me, it was several boards in between. And also, obviously I own as a brand as well as I created these boards. I do a great deal of R & D and made a great deal of boards gradually working my method down.

Most likely just like a couple of inches in a few litres each time. So I didn't start on a big board as well as ended up on this today. There's a lot of action in between. And also you don't have to take that several steps, but I would say between a novice board and also the very innovative board, there need to go to the very least two or three boards.

To get to that factor where you can write a truly little board. Don't think you can just begin wing declaring on a little tiny vulnerable board. This is it's feasible. I have actually seen people do it before that are incredibly talented athletes and also already great filers. I have actually seen people discover exactly how to wing full on susceptible.

The boards, yet if you're an average Joe don't also try it. It's mosting likely to be way as well difficult to attempt to discover on it, small board. As well as for me it wing for the important things I suched as to have a little bit more quantity. I'm, my weight is 195 extra pounds. I'm 6'2" as well as 195 pounds which is about 90 kilos.

To ensure that translates into 90 litres of volume to drift me. The first 90 litres of quantity will float my body weight. And then certainly you additionally have to add in the weight of the foil and also the board itself. And also and also essentially if you want it to drift you, you need to have equivalent quantity of flotation protection to your body weight. The volume actually depends on your body weight. And then for a beginner, I suggest obtaining a board that has sufficient quantity to drift your body weight, plus perhaps 20%. For me maybe as a beginner, I would use a boy that's at least about 120 liters, maybe more that will be good to float me.

For weighing hindering for standup hindering, you could get something also a bit larger. Possibly for me, I would choose like 140, 150 litres and also enough width and also length and stability to be able to send out a paddle on and discover on. And then as you get better with the harmonizing and also catching waves and also getting up on the foil, after that you can relocate smaller as well as the foil does include stability to the board.

Having a foil board is going to be much more steady than a normal standup paddleboard, however it's a specific type of balance that you have to obtain utilized to it. Doesn't. Just automatically make balancing simple. It's just a little hold-up, so it slows down the activity of the board a bit because foil below.

It's like having a keel under your board. Next let's talk about the foils themselves. I've been doing this a very long time. I utilize quite a tiny foil currently for wing hindering, especially like for waves and things like that, attempting to go much faster. This is an accessibility high element element for us.

The Axis 810, a wing period or 810 millimeters or 32 inches. As well as the forecasted surface is 1022 square centimeters, that has to do with 158 square inches. So this is rather a small front wing, but since it's quite high aspect and it's in fact fairly, has a fair bit of lift and also a great deal of move.

So I actually liked this, a front wing. Additionally I have a 760, which is a little bit much more surfy, which is likewise a really nice however, for starting out on, When I started, I used a really large foil, the 2000 square centimeter foil. So when you're starting something like the Carver foil, We have the group strategy at Carver for is a great discussion forum for discovering.

It's 2000 square centimeters. It's secure comes up why not check here at low speeds as well as flies out a bit lower speed, however it simply maintains moving. If you're doing a shift, if you filth it up a little bit, you have actually obtained way more time to slide out of the turn and keep up on the foil. And it just lifts up easier and reduced rates.

It's this much easier to use a bigger foil when you're starting out. And even as you advance, depending upon the conditions you're flying having a large foil is simply makes everything a little bit simpler. And also as well as it allows you to do even more tricks and things like that. So these smaller sized foils are except everybody, but as you get better, having a smaller foil.

As well as a thinner profile, just enables you to go faster, do tighter turns, be much more manoeuvrable and also going quicker truly helps in the waves since a lot of times when you catching far from the outdoors,
