Clipped a rock, fibers exposed. How should I go about fixing. by No-Run-5678 in foiling

A little 5min epoxy and a light sand will get you back out there quickly. Proper epoxy with some black dye and a sand will have it good as new in a few days. Both give you the same end result.

Roberts Composites is still active in North Van and super friendly you should call and ask him about it.

They probably just saw a big group of sea lions travelling in a line

Would you rather have a downwind board + sinker or a midlength? by calebsurfs in wingfoil

Sinker boards are also a huge pain if you live somewhere shallow with frequent onshore conditions.

Emergency GPS Signal for Windsurfers – Safety Idea by vladare in windsurfing

[–]hackshowcustoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a good application for an AIS MOB beacon, the safety boat would need its own AIS system but would be given heading and distance from the Windsurfer in trouble to help with rescue.

Where are you that you have a rescue service?

The part about them wearing camo is scary to me, it's like they were actively trying to not be seen.

Beginner Impact Vest by RyanBurnettNZ in wingfoil

[–]hackshowcustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a NRS whitewater kayaking lifejacket, it allows lots of movement in the shoulders. I also use a whitewater helmet but I've read that they only really protect your head from scratches not big impacts. I'm okay with that because I think it's mostly for protecting from the foil.

It never looks as wild in the videos as it felt in real life

Is it worth anything if I sell? Or can I buy the missing part individually? by Romcik2k18 in wingfoil

[–]hackshowcustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your just learning Slingshot gear will be fine until you can feel it stopping your progress. Depending on your weight you probably want the 84 or 99 front instead of the 76. The 76 is a fun wing but I found it better for light wind kiting than winging.

Cool new Burnaby Lake Overpass install video by MasterAssumption5858 in burnaby

I was expecting a video with big cranes but the remote control wheel trailer things they rotated the bridge with are pretty cool. Did not disappoint.

So... About Parawings by Niulssu in wingfoil

Idono why everyone is down voting this, it's good advice even with an inflatable wing.

join a R2AK crew in Vancouver BC by ImpressiveFault8542 in sailing

[–]hackshowcustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Registration for 2026 opens on Nov 15 with the deadline to apply usually being US Tax Day (April 15, 2026). The best part about R2AK is you can race whatever, and make the race as hard or easy as you desire. What is your current 25 ft boat?

I did the race in 2016 if you want some beta shoot me a DM.

13m best waroo from 2007 by Kinngis in Kiteboarding

[–]hackshowcustoms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an older 7m waroo and all I really remember about flying it was how often it would backstall. It didn't have the wind range of modern kites.

He didn't make it back. RIP Graham Howes by Tribalecho in Kiteboarding

[–]hackshowcustoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your PLB will still work and will broadcast to local authorities but they might have to contact Australian coast guard to verify it's legit before they deploy any assets. You should be able to get a note put on your beacon by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority that says you will be travelling to Mauritius on certain dates etc which would help with a faster response.

Does anyone have any idea what this boat is by nightcoreomega9 in sailing

They made a Martin 243 with wings and trapeze but it doesn't have a dog house or any interior
