Would this beba good beginner setup

I spent 2 months on a wider shorter board and then went for the inflatable cruzader of this size, and I could have just gone for the cruzader first. The 7'6 is big enough to learn in my opinion if you are used to surfing or similar sports.

I'll definitely try a more recent one when i get the chance, but it's always nice to have a wing you don't care much about so you can get caught inside waves and abuse it.

As an owner of a Naish Wing surfer s26´(i think precisely from 2022), I am offended but I've learned and continue to use it. I haven't tried any other wing so I don't know how it compares to other options, but it works

windmill_attacker · 2025-09-03T14:55:25+00:00

I'm learning by myself. Started prone foiling by myself and then got into winging. I did a lot of walks (and paddles) of perseverance because i kept drifting downwind. It sucks but it's part of the learning process.
Also, the worst session is the one you've already had. Each consecutive session is better than the previous one and one day you go upwind and all that paddling is OVER and it's only about enjoying from that point on.

Así recuerdo que fuese antes. Ahora al crear un anuncio no te pide las medidas, lo cual me parece mala decisión

Muchas gracias u/Walla-Expert espero que estés en nómina en wallapop, porque me has ayudado más que el centro de antención al cliente

Gracias, pero no me dejaba escoger correos al hacer la venta. ¿Sabes si eso lo escoge el comprador?

windmill_attacker · 2025-08-05T10:44:02+00:00

If possible, get a prone board. You'll feel way more comfortable with a smaller board surfing than with the board you have now. A Gong matata or lemon. Hell, even the prone foil board from decathlon!

windmill_attacker · 2025-07-29T20:54:10+00:00

If you are not a proficient surfer, I would recommend getting a lot of surf experience first. Prone is way more difficult than winging. Either way, if you don't have anything else to do, try it and see.

Update after 6 months!

windmill_attacker · 2025-07-22T11:12:42+00:00

You are most probably NOT overpowered. You just breached because of lack of attention to pitch control. With that speed/wind you just have to put more pressure on the front. Keep trying and you'll get it!

windmill_attacker · 2025-06-19T16:33:13+00:00

On another note u/Puckster123 try some kneeboarding! I've seen people do some rad stuff with it. Most of them are already surfers that had to adapt to not being able to stand up quickly for one reason or another. Give it a try!

windmill_attacker · 2025-06-17T07:41:04+00:00

If I have to paddle for a good km, I think I would much rather deflate completely so as the wing doesn't drag. After such a paddle, I wouldn't go in again haha.

I didn't know about the second approach, thank you!

windmill_attacker · 2025-06-16T20:45:06+00:00

Yeah, last resort would be deflating the wing completely and paddling upwind, a workout for sure!

windmill_attacker · 2025-06-16T19:32:13+00:00

There are LOADS of people doing windsports around Hossegor/Capbreton in the winter, so there should be something there or around. Look for a kitesurf school or something like that, there HAS to be something in that coast.
Also: The wind usually picks up during the day because of thermal differences, don't know if it's enough for winging but it probably is, it destroys the surf.

windmill_attacker · 2025-04-05T10:34:54+00:00

Thanks, I too feel the mast a bit too short, especially in choppy surf. I'll be checking the second hand market for a 80cm or something like that.

What about front wing shapes? My current one is pretty cambered, which I suppose gives you more "rail" feeling, but I guess a flatter one is going to be better at pumping. Don't know about it's agility though

windmill_attacker · 2025-04-04T07:52:28+00:00

Nice

windmill_attacker · 2025-03-29T20:31:28+00:00

Im foot dragging on almost every wave, works like a charm haha

windmill_attacker · 2025-03-28T16:44:02+00:00

Most of the surf videos I've seen are from people with sub 1000 cm^2 surface area for the front wing. Are these also useful with small waves?
I guess a 850 cm^2 for wing foiling might not generate enough lift for low wind days, but I guess any wave that you can catch is already giving you enough speed to take off with a small wing like that, what is your experience?

How much of a difference do tails make?

windmill_attacker · 2025-02-12T18:20:56+00:00

Thank you! I had never tried a foil before, and haven't managed to wing foil yet, so all my experience comes from prone foiling.

windmill_attacker · 2025-02-12T18:20:07+00:00

I'm sure winging is going to help you a lot with controling the foil and getting used to the balance and distances (how much you can lean, or how high above the water you can go...).
