i use iq foil, I got relly lucky to get a good mast. My friends mast is so different then mine, basically like using aluminium mast :D

How fast?

What you said at the end resonated with me re: production vs. custom. I used to be a speed sailor and sail tester in the olden days - '80s. I once got an incredible slalom sail to test and ride for about a month. They told me to come back to the loft and they wanted to use the sail to build some others. I never got it back. Then I was provided a production speed sail. It sucked balls. I then found out that it was designed for the mass market..... sailors who just wanted to beam reach all day - boring-ass back and forth.

i like still after all this time my Original Neil Pryde Foil as it knows no Limits just Damn Scary.. and for the Modern High Powered Super Scary modern Foils Yikes thats a hole new can of worms..

Mi Tarifa .... te amo :)

Paragliding is the same… production is not exactly the same.

Windsurf Always be the top Sport But if you dont have the equipment ready in the beach Is a big No So i do wingfoil and i have all the fun and no drama😊

Great review. I will be nervous cutting foil mast top to fit to my box. Was there a cutting line? How much price and performance difference in between the mast and fuselage available for recreational use?

We all win more than we lose But it still hurts. The feeling of hunger is painful

Thanks for the video, does Patrik recommend shimming the box so the mast head bottoms out? Do they recommend changing the rake depending on the conditions?

Thanks for calling out the "foil scam" at the end of the video. I experienced really bad fit and finish from Starboard Foils. It seemed they have both poor quality control and poor customer service. Many hours wasted on fixing the issues.

The hype is real

Is there a foil/sail/board combination that would work in 5 knots that you could recommend?

Ist ja alles schön und gut (Spot/Equipment/usw.)…aber warum die Trauermusik ❓War irgendjemand verstorben oder war in dir die Hoffnung gestorben, noch mal RICHTIG schnell zu surfen ❓😀 LG 🤙

Thanks for the great video! What speed app are you using? Is it connected to a watch?

and what was that about cutting the mast to fit the fin box? how do you measure what angle you need to cut at?

Regarding IQ foil, it was the same with RSX as far as I know, but now the foil has even more importance. Do you know if in the Olympics riders get all new (supposedly random) equipment, or just the new sails with national colors or something?

Sounds like he’s selling golden geese that lay golden eggs

Love your video as always. But the music choice recently... That dum dum dum dum techno... I just hate it.. 😅

I got a gunsails freeride foil with a 95 aluminium mast. Lift-off is easy and with a shim underneath the backwing, control is good. I reach speeds which are fine by me, it turns well in the jibe and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. As far as consistency, because I bought it with a 85 mast and I added a 95 later. It's a bit slower, if I do not ride it higher which is to be expected, however I appreciate the 10 extra cm a lot, since they help me avoid catapulting.

So you would like to grade the parts? A grade, B grade and so on? Cpu's and gpu's have been sold for very different prices based on the grade or bin as it's called.

Hi Mario, nice video and exciting statement at the end. I think the issue about "production tolerances" for foils ist similar to the sail masts, isn't it. Somehow it's disappointing because the customer pays a lot but doesn't know what will be delivered. Hand loose, Jochen

Foil sailing is a small world in reality. One has two try and enjoy being part of a research and development process.

In einem früheren Video hatten Sie Wingfoil und Surfen verglichen und angemerkt, dass man mit einem Surfboard einen viel größeren Bereich abdecken kann als mit einem Wingfoil. Ich überlege nach 25 Jahren wieder ein Sufboard zu kaufen, da Kiten bei uns nur eingeschränkt an zwei Stellen möglich und sofort überfüllt ist und Wingfoil viel Wind braucht und bei sehr viel Wind wieder nicht gut funktioniert. Wir haben meist recht wenig oder sehr viel Wind. Ein Foil-Surfboard habe ich mir noch nicht überlegt, es scheint aber im Vergleich zum Surfen weniger entspannt zu sein bei wechselnden und/oder unterschiedlichen Verhältnissen, dafür etwas schneller und viel teurer (?)

Some year ago the best foil was Starboard, than Phantom, than Z than NP, now seems to be Patrick, I could bet money than next year the best foil will be another one. The same was with boards, sails and fins during the previous years. It's all about luck to find the right set up.

So ture.... I have been imported more than 25 foils from starboard, but their foils were just insanely horrible. They even introduced c300 masts and they are faggy, that even makes wale sound on the water. I claimed a warranties and even insisted to send them to check on my cost, but they repeated to say there is no way it is that fat. Refused to provide the thickness in numbers, and guided me to sand them with RUclips instruction. And yes. They refused the warranty once again because I sanded it. No more starboard in my life.

Twice during speed days I was almost taken out by other windsurfers that were bearing down and did not see me behind their sail. Theoretically I had right of way, but now always look also behind me upwind, not just downwind

😱

Michele B. only wins because of this foil? 😜

Spicy! Great insights Mario. I’m sticking to fins for now😊

Es wäre interessant zu wissen, worauf sich deine Aussage bzgl der Aeon-Foils stützt - dh., dass man sichergehen kann, dass man auch die beworbene Qualität bekommt - und warum bei anderen Herstellern es zu solchen Qualitätsunterschieden kommt... liegt es an einem neuen/innovativen Fertigungsprozess? Lg

Thx for your honest opinion. Would you mind testing a wing foil from Patrik ?

Cool komm zum browas Damm surfen

Kudos for your honesty ! that was seriously ballsy. Really hope that pans out for you your shop and your channel because everyone WILL benefit longer term

Thanks for your time to explain the jibes🤙🤙

Die Mitarbeiter der Windlounge sind aber gut abgehangen

Die meisten Windsurfer hier sind leider gefühlt 100 Jahre alt. Irgendwie sind die jungen Windsurfer hier an der Ostsee bei Boltenhagen sehr raar

Wait … you have to cut the mast?! How do you make sure it’s exactly the right angle?! Why don’t they make more than one fitting??

Awsome video and review 🤙🏻 Do U know if moving the stab forward will facilitate pumping - shorter fuse more power?! Until now I have only tried the back position of the stab. Cheers

After using my old foil for a handful of years by now this is on my radar for sure. What would you recommend as a freerace and more affordable set with 2 front wings? Wind range 10kn to 18kn. Past this, I'm still grabbing my fin setup, sorry 😅

Game changer Foil. Patrik is so genial

It takes courage to be honest this days, and specially in your position . Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I do believe you are not wrong. I had the guy from phantom calling me and shouting at me for asking a question , when you pay so much money it’s not the service you want! I’m prepared to pay the money but I want a smile on my face when I’m using the product . Thanks

Isn’t it the same thing with sail masts? Pros test tons of masts and pick the best ones, although it should be all the same. I m happy with my iq foil. But a smaller Frontwing for high winds would be nice

Sehr interessant, danke Mario!

Glad I could convince you 😜

Spät aber herzlich: Moin Mario

Would be cool to test it… so far i am on a iq

If you watch the Windsurfing TV interview, you'll find out that the small stabilizer is just the next size with the tips of the file cut off. So, maybe you can re-purpose the one you damaged.

congrats to 20k+ subs 🎉 english seems to work 🤙👍

Epic drone shots❤. Next weekend we test the alu fuse against the titanium. Thanks for providing the perfect excuse for me not winning any races on my iq set. 😊😊😊😊
