How to rig sail for Windsurf Wave Foiling

3 Comments

Casey’s Blog: 

 

Well its been a while since I have put my ugly mug on screen. 😜  hopefully this helps everyone to rig there sail correctly for WWF.  👌 so you can use smaller sails.  Most of us are in the habit of rigging our sails for windsurfing or even wind foiling.  Now WWF is a bit of a different animal, so you need to rig your sail differently so you get the most out of it.

This is the size sails for the wind speed you generally should be using for WWF once you get past the Rookie stage.

  • 5.7    6-12 Knts
  • 4.7    10-16 knts
  • 3.7    14-22 knts
  • 2.7    20-30 knts

Remember one of the main concepts for WWF is using small uber powerful sails to get you flying on these super efficient setups and big surf wings. This is one of the reasons its so easy and fun.

The Year of the “WWF & TopGun”. 2019 Session recap

10 Comments

Caseys Blog:

2019 was one crazy year again.  It was even worse than last year for surfing & wind (and last year was soo bad). If you’re a high wind junky you have to be losing your mind, but on the flip side if you have a TopGun/GoFoil kit, you are having the time of your life.  You’re having soo much fun in 5-15kt that its makes you not even give a shit about 15-25kt.   It truly is a game changer. As a result, 2019 was a huge year in The Board Room.  I spent a lot of time pumping out as many of these TopGun boards as I could. I am not going to lie, I am exhausted, but seeing soo many riders throughout the country and locally now having the time of their life riding these boards truly makes it all worth it. Spreading the stoke never gets old. Hopefully I can expand on that in 2020. Looks like another busy year ahead so lets get this party started Reef Warriors!
