We’ve all been out riding having that session and all of a sudden you feel like you’re slowing down or there’s some vibration on your front wing. Sure enough there’s some grass or some weed caught on the wing tips. I found some really simple ways that you can practice to get that off without having to stop even if you’re not wearing Foot straps. Practicing the small little hops by putting a little bit more rear foot pressure popping the board up just so the foil breaches and shake off the weed and as you come down to land, put a little bit more pressure on your front foot land flat so the hits the water, immediately put pressure on your rear foot give your wing a few pumps to start planting back up and go back to riding. The other good way is to start to practice your carves. I am riding the Cabrinha 1050 with a 6 m mantis wing and you be shocked with these higher aspect wings how forgiving they are and when you make an aggressive carve to your left or to your right wing tip will actually come out of the water of your front foil and a lot of times shake some of that weed off as well. No matter what you do get out there and have some fun and remember pay attention, even when you’re filming and thinking everything‘s perfect is the time you fall and go for a snorkel!

We all crash, It’s just a part of the sport. A lot of people been asking what is the easiest way when your wing is upside down to get it to flip back up. After you get yourself settled you can even use the board to float on if you need to stabilize yourself, work your way to the very edge of the wing. Now you’ll want to use the wind to Your advantage. So make sure you let yourself drift down wind a little bit and then grab your wingtip with both hands and slowly start to bring it over and as you feel the wing in the wind, it will assist you flipping it back over. Hope this helps. TIP- let the wing face downwind so leading edge handle if facing you, will make the leverage on the wing tip much easier to flip over.

Hello So I'm 100% new to wing foiling. I live in Florida on the central west coast of FL "clearwater area". I did windsurfing for a small period of time when I was in my teenage years "going on 30 now". I just purchased my board and a set of wings(3 sizes) but I believe I might have got the wrong board for my size/weight (200lbs). I purchased a board called the Cabrinha Code, it's a 118L. I did research on this board and was content with the reviews enough to go with it, however the biggest size available was the 118. After originally doing the math based on my size (200 lbs/ 90kg) I determined the 118 was just a little under sized but figured that little difference wouldn't make a difference. After doing some research, I'm second guessing this assumption that the little difference won't matter. What do you think? Too small?
