FEEDBACK: WING FOIL SESSION !!!
The advantage of Wing Foils is that they are easy to sail in lighter winds. @castorfab experienced this during its last session. Here you have his feedback:
“Hello, Short feedback following a sweet little session on Monday afternoon. Pornichet north-westerly wind increasing from 10/11 knots then around 16 knots. I’m 65kg and a Flint 95l underfoot. I start with a 7m Pulse. Only one kitefoil in 10m2 in the water. I’m a bit skeptical but well, we’ll see. And it takes off straight out the gate out, two pumps with a good gust and off we go. A good hour of nav in 7m2 then feeling that it has forced me to move to 5m2 to see the difference. I could have stayed in 7m2 because even though the wind was up, it was perfectly adapted. This confirms the very wide wind range announced.
In 5m2, it goes directly on one side and you had to wait for the wind on the other side. I still have to improve my pumping technique. On the other hand what a pleasure to sail in 5m2 after 1 hour with the 7m2. Everything seems lighter and easier. So the jibes are close to staying up in the air and I try a few jumps and 360s thanks to the coach on the water who shows me the example.
Another point, it’s been 4 sessions since I switched from the xl curve to the l curve. It’s quite a success, I was afraid that the gap was too big but it’s perfect. It’s faster and quite stable too. It’s faster, which compensates for the loss of stability. The manoeuvres go just as well, of course pumping is more technical but that’s going to come.
All the equipment is keeping its promises and the fun is there. All that’s left to do is to test the pulse in 4m in a slightly strong wind, which is a matter to be followed.”

Bonjour
Je voudrais essayer ce sport avant de passer à l’achat, avec quel coach avez-vous pratiqué ?
