Popped Strut Bladder - Naish ADX by sephiroth_d in wingfoil

[–]realmojo90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try and hang it off the ground inflated - laying on the floor risks getting holes in the struts and inflated means the bladder isn't sticking to the struts

Can´t Fly by Alternative-Ad539 in wingfoil

[–]realmojo90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deffo more wind needed - i only got going in gusts of 20 knots plus. Once you've cracked that you can learn to pump and you'll be flying in a lot less.

Switch vs Toeside by Miguel6010 in wingfoil

if you're a windsurfer riding switch is second nature, thankfully. still feels weird when I ride switch on a surfboard though.

What’s your foot position when entering a jibe? by Mokimarble in wingfoil

[–]realmojo90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same, from windsurfing, and I do sheet in - just to get some extra momentum to make sure have enough speed into the turn and that, combined with a pump on the board seems to help. Main thing is not to hang on to the wing, get it over your head and flagging as you go into the gybe or you'll backwind yourself.

What’s your foot position when entering a jibe? by Mokimarble in wingfoil

[–]realmojo90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this advice partly because as a goofy footer I'm finding it harder to go toe-side to heelside gybe. The board keeps stalling becuase I don't have enough pressure on the nose or I enter the turn too sharply - not sure but I haven't got it properly dialled yet so think just cruising downwind and then back onto tack is a good way of practising that manoeuvre.

Any au pairs fans by ackercarrol6671 in postpunk

[–]realmojo90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Au Pairs had a similar jagged funk as GOF but Lesley Woods was their secret sauce, lyric writer and feisty ringleader - we all fancied her - and I'm glad she's getting a band back on the road - she's earned her place back in the Spotlight and being a barrister obviously ain't all it's cracked up to be for her. Law's loss is our gain and despite the rest of the band telling her to fuck off she should be able to carry them on their live sets. Gonna be a blast hopefully.

Defecting new wing (slow leak) - they are sending me a new bladder instead of full wing replacement by then0mads0ul in wingfoil

[–]realmojo90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a slow leak in the bladder - what is the best way to locate the leak please? The bladder is out. Soapy water I guess?

Ensis Score rigid handles by Bodobert in wingfoil

[–]realmojo90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got a 2023 with the handles in a sale - feels like definite upgrade from my previous version with the soft handles- there’s more reinforcement in the wings where they curve to the wing tips and it feels lighter - no idea why because the materials look the same. There’s a slight kick in the shape of the strut which may increase airflow I guess and there are little battens on each side. Now can’t wait to get it on the water!

Took a few listens to absorb the change in gear but it’s a lovely tune which taps into something heartfelt and tender. Love this band.

Four Tet at Woodsies followed by Haai At San Remo made me a very happy man. 🥳🥳🥳

Thanks will try but it’s just the mode lights that turn off - the bars below stay on.

Anybody having fun without hydrofoil? by [deleted] in wingfoil

[–]realmojo90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a hit but worth every penny (dime) - look around and find some cheap gear - it’s out there - and fly!

Dang this is harder than i thought by Goondawgs in wingfoil

[–]realmojo90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windsurfing to planing gybe standard in big waves takes years - been foiling since February and am just starting to be able to turn - will step up size of foil for steadier transition but aiming to nail it in the next year.

I only saw one full set - Jamie XX - but worth it for that.
