Awesome. Nice footage.
I've finally got a few nice controlled runs.
But still not on my backhand. Causing walks of shame. Haaa!
More practise ahead.

Ah, the Dreaded Walk of Shame (DWoS), how well I know thee . . . . . .

Its humbling to learn something new and be a complete numpty. A feeling we should never get tired of.

I'm 6 sessions into my wing foiling and for me it's not a Walk of Shame, for me it's a Walk of Victory, because it means I've got up for a good long flight on the foil!

I did it so much I made a velcro'd pad to protect my shoulder from the mast on looong walks.

Great footage-big shout out to David for the wonderful support he gives to us new riders.

Agreed, David's posts are awesome and have helped me. I'm 70 sessions in and am pretty competent and loving it. 1 bit of advice to newbies is to go in whatever the conditions unless it's dangerous. Ive learnt loads by my failures as much as my "omg" light bulb days. A bit too light - try pumping the shxt out of the wing/board, bit gusty/strong - practice depowering the wing, bit choppy - helps your balance before standing etc... I'm convinced by not being to choosy it has helped loads. I see alot of nervous newbie kiters gazing in the sea debating. Often I go in have a session and they are still gazing having internal head fight! Thing with winging it's so much more safe. Wind drops - no problem, wind picks up strong - no problem etc.. New Kitersurfers aren't as lucky..
Wing on..!!

Yes...fully agree. David has helped many of us over the years in a number of different sports and now it continues with winging!! Thanks mate!! Keep those awesome videos coming!
