Hello guys, complete beginner here. I took 3h of lessons and bought my gear following that.
I’ve done 4 sessions so far with my gear (3 on inland lake, 1 at sea). I’m still struggling to stay upright on the board, I only succeeded few times (but I can see progress through those 4 sessions).
My local spot is an inland lake near Paris, France, with mainly 8-12knots wind range. Sea is at least 2.5hr of driving, so a bit too far away for a day.
I’m 175cm and 90kg, so not a real small rider.
Here is my gear :
Board : Gong Hipe First 5’11 135L
Foil :Gong Allvator XXL (1900cm2 I think) with a 75cm mast
Wing #1 : Sroka V4 5M
Wing #2 : Sroka V3 6M
Do you think my gear is well suited for me ? Or should I reconsider something (wing size or board?)
In fact, I’m considering trading my Sroka V3 6M with a Sroka V4 7M, but maybe this is useless ?
Maybe I should just try to stand upright on the board without the wing just to train myself ?
Any tips would be very appreciated ! :)
