Here is a quick vid of some of the glides I got yesterday on my first attempt at Wind Foiling. A lot of fun, and looking really forward to getting back out there to do some more.

Wind - SW, 6 - 13kts (via BOM observations). Didn;t see many 13kt gusts ;)
Sail - Naish Chopper XL
Board - Naish Ratpor V116
Foil - Naish Malolo
Rider Weight - 94kg.



SO much fun !!!

Naish do not specify the actual square meterage, so it would only be a guess at around 6m. I am 95kg. Board is 7' x 31" @ 116ltrs.

I just looked up some more accurate specs, and the Chopper XL is closer to a 5.3m. So even more impressive.

Ride safe,
