I'm Daniel perseguim from São Paulo... I'm a regular surfer trying to start at Guarujá/Santos.

Hi,

I wanted to share a new idea for a harness/leash that has worked really well for me. My friend made a video explaining how to make it, and he posted it on YouTube.

I think some of you might enjoy tinkering with this DIY leash/harness. I call it the Lazy Winger.

Enjoy!

Hello,

I'm new to wingfoiling and I've recently bought a beginner set. My first time foiling but I do have experience in watersports. Really loving the feel of wingfoiling so far! For now I'm on inland water to get the hang of it. With decent wind I can get on foil and cruise around. When there are lulls in the wind I often slow down to much and I go of foil. Pumping the wing a bit and the board helps but I'm not efficient in this. And I was wondering if I should point more upwind in the lulls or go downwind? And are there any other tips to stay longer on foil so I can connect better to the next gust. Hope to hear your tips, thank you    

SS stabs must be mounted specific way:
42 stab mounted wings up
48 stab mounted wings down

General rule: when you are looking at your foil from top you supposed to be able read label on front wing and stab i.e. label is always on top.

I have a new love 

She weights 300 metric tons, has a cruising speed of up to 25 km/h and floats around in one of our lakes, which just rarely create enough wind waves.

When I met her some time ago with a race kite, I was able to play a bit with her waves at distance but pumping around even being unhooked and the wind and the race kite ... hasn't been too much interesting, as you can imagine.

But last days we met again also not much more than 15 knts of wind, so no relevant wind waves but her lee wave was good enough to stay on it for long, with the 5 m² wing on the handle behind and a just 1000 cm² foil under the feet.

While her back is about 10 m wide I took care to keep at least the same distance and being a bit on the side so the captain could see me, as I myself wouldn't feel well having somebody following you in the blind spot. I know from lakes around with rules for kiter to not go closer than I think around 100 m, for obvious reasons.

So I am interested to hear who else shares the joy of big (commercial) boats waves (not of private wakeboats) and what do you think and experienced about safety reasons and keeping the peace with the professional captains.
