Has anyone who’s lucky enough to witness prototypes’ testing noticed funny change on 2024 wings? I'm talking about seemingly overbuilt and reinforced connection on wing outer edges, with a massive loop? La Ventana becoming deserted after a busy season leaves pro-riders and testers behind and the mys...

Didn't you get an Airbank Puffer Pro Grigori?!!!

My question though is what is the goal of the progression you are striving for? Want to ride waves at Chicama, I get it, but mowing the lawn on a wing foil is hardly progress. Just like in kiteboarding where overwhelming majority is mowing the lawn and hopping 7 feet, right? Then there are tricks w...

I certainly don’t have this problem winging :) One unpopular reason of “staying dry” which I remind myself is that I don’t try anything new or I d...

@ grigorib Have you ever had someone ( unknown kiter ) walk to you and offer to launch you ? If you say I'm good thank you for offering... they get kind of upset and say : you know when someone offers to launch you ...you should accept and not turn it down Your thoughts ? I’m glad to accept an offe...

Like in any foiling it’s crucial to keep vector of rider weight/pressure applied perpendicular to the board - in same plane as the mast.
Twisting the board backwards and falling towards the wing is no fun.
