Thanks Gunnar, Not out wing foiling yet, but watched you many times when I've been over kiting at flag beach. I work with Moses/Core here in the UK, so thought its about time i started and learnt the wing, just waiting for my T115.

Hello from Stockholm.
I am brand new to wing and foiling. Got my first wing delivered last week but still waiting for the board. Have windsurfed a bit in the past, tried kiteboarding as well but hoping wing is the sweetspot inbetween. Got totally sold on the youtube videos 😁

hi guys,
looking for inspiration to try this wingsport, now spending 6 months each year on fuerteventura, and watched Gunnar from his first attempts, I have two of the parts needed, the moses 82cm mast,and one of Gunnars "loyaltothefoil" jackets, just sold my 790 wing 4 months back, dam!
looking at getting a lesson from gunnar when next on the island, this coming winter I hope, even if the planes are not flying I am going by road and ferry.

Cheers from Bavaria,

I started wingfoiling last summer with a DIY wing made from an old kite.
I bought a Gong 7m later on and own a 6m Gong Superpower and a 4m Gong Puls now.
I do use a Gong XL Foil (thinking of trying my Cabrinha kite foil too) and ride a 107l 6.1 board.
A 5.9 92l wingfoil board is currently in the making.

Greetings from Melbourne.
I'm a wingfoiling novice, just started a few weeks ago.
I've been kitefoiling for 4 1/2 years and love to ride waves.
Been closely watching the progression of the sport especially for waveriding and now it's time for me to get into it!
Not too many wingfoilers here so far, but I'm sure that will change.

Hello from New Zealand!
I've been Kiteboarding since absolutely ages ago & now I'm also enjoying foiling with wings.
I love the technology in play and the challenge of it all.
I also have a small footprint in the industry.
And enjoy that side of things too.

Hi,
I am Remco living in Amsterdam.
Windsurfer from the 80-ties till now.
I want to start foiling with sail and wing.

Still need to find the right gear, that’s the reason that I came here on the forum.

Enjoy the open summer

Servus from Austria,
as soon as the lockdown will be fiished I start my wing foiling career :-)
Wings and foil is already here.
Building my own board right now as there is no suitable one available on the market right now for a 120kg guy.... at least I think so

Will show the pics when the work is done

Pierre here in Belgium. 20 years of windsurf, 20 years of kitesurf with 5 years of kitefoil. Did my first try with Gunnar with Wasp 3m and longsk8 in early March (seems like years ago...). 5-10mn of great explanation on how to handle the wing and that was all good. Hooked from the start. Cheers for that Gunnar.
The gear (Gong Lemon 5'2 and foil XL pro + Takoon wing 6m) is ordered and should be delivered in May, when (I hope) things should ease a bit.
