This is just so much fun with endless rides, didn't quite get the paddle in but almost . I'm riding my JP 5-0 & NP with the large wing front & back , just std wings and not downwind wings. Still carried amazing speed & could probably have done it on my medium. Bit more practice and I will be scratching onto those bumps. Not saying this will replace Sup DW foiling but it is just insane on a prone in the open ocean.

Nice one Piros! Where's your leash? Good to see the large wings work on DW. Just wondering if tail wing adjustment would make it even easier for initial lift to get up & running?
Also wondering how a SUP would go?

Wow, that's awesome.
i boxed up a Nipper board a few weeks back. I surfed it but haven't chased lumps...you just inspired me!

Thanks all and yeah nipper board style would be the go. Adjusting tail will do nothing for take off , it's power and technique I have done some serious hours catching tiny sh!t waves on my prone. A bigger board would be easier but most of the time a smaller board sits in the trough better picking up the chip in and yes a Sup would work but just use a paddle if that what it takes to get up. Once you are up and running the prone is easier to ride but you have to be super switched on chasing the swell pockets , miss one and you are gone with no paddle to drag you back over.
