Hello, I'm in PEI Canada for another extended vacation. I bought a windfoiling kit ( Slingshot 76 and 99 foils, SailWorks 5.2 , and 143L Shred Sled) 2 years ago . Challenging . Last year, I bought a Lift efoil . Even more $, but wish I had seen first. Lots easier and I can go out everyday . Wind not needed.
I bought a Wing 18 months ago and had only used with skis in winter and a windsurfer so far .
I thought it would be a great idea to use the Wing with efoil - no power , then efoil upwind to save walking . Only the efoil board doesn't have enough volume for a beginner to wing with ....
Recently , I've had Couple of sessions with wing on Shred Sled 143L
I had the wrist leash on . With a gust the wing got ripped off when I was climbing on board...
It was heading downwind
I got the board to shallow water and ran down the beach - caught the wing . Lucky
That could be dangerous . And coulda been an expensive day.
A small repairable tear .
There's always something
I wish I had bought a larger sail, because I have lots of windsurf/shortboard experience .
for a windsurf set up on a wing -forum recommendation was 1.5 metre less than for short board.
So I bought a 5.2 Sailworks.
to buy a 5.8 , I would need a longer mast too.
