Balz (80kg) shows how to get going in light air with his favorite sail: 4.8. Meanwhile, Mr. "windfoil hype is over" is trying to sell 9.5s over on his youtube channel.

His technique looks excellent, of course, but I wonder what is the actual wind speed.

Super impressive, and slightly misleading because they don't want to show the real wind speed on the water. Having an anemometer on the beach showing 0.0 kt is ... well 😂

BTW, who's selling their 9,5 m2? :) I love mine for conditions under 10 kt.
