for a good for a good session in 14 knots wingfoiling if you are not heavy ( 85kg or less). Light riders can ride in rediculously light winds.
I had a look around insta at foiling influencers ( kite and windsurf), they gone to wing foil lala land
These things are very interesting the way they boom, slowly infultrate and infect the minds of staunch ” ill never do that” people.
Slowly your crew starts to break ranks, then one day you show up to the beach… wtf happened! Lol
Of course drone is the way to make everything look cool. A pilot with the balls to fly low and close, even better, but there are loads of photogs with taste that could make a jaw dropping edit with nothing more than a long lens and decent taste in music.
Biggest problem, they need a subject !
Most of us initially saw the potential on video. Personally it was Caneri and Drexler. Then the original, Marc Leblanc and some Nicholas Caillou in there too. Since then its some guy I don’t even know the name of riding moses stuff in some compilation, looping and kick spinning like its nothing. And massive respect to all the Ketos content that keeps my imagination grinding away. I expect great things from the gorge. In fact the big air footage from Adam Withington is pretty legit and Fred Hope is incredible and the first of a younger generation. There are a bunch of styles to flesh out on foil, and of course, in the end, wave foiling will be ridiculously impressive.
Have hope that a decent 360 cam will help out those filming themselves. Nothing in the lines, thats for sure!!!
Kite foiling has huge potential in a variety of stylistic directions.
Like any board sport it takes people to colour outside the lines.
