Western Australia, Summer 2021:

CP+++

Nice! Was hoping to see a successful ducking downwind 360. Finally, at 8:27, it looked like it might happen... but no, just a really nice duck jibe.

I want to see a WA duck tack

Delightful and inspiring - Two thumbs up.

Curious seeing all the neoprene in the summer - what are the water temps?

Nice video.

It's certainly a quick way to improve your windfoiling, have someone record 90% of your sessions with cameras and drones. A great record for the future. Very lucky indeed.

How come nobody in WA is riding in the Slingshot Wizard 90?

WOW! Mindblowingly amazing video. First foiling video I've seen that's given me real goose bumps. Thanks for posting and keep them coming.

So good.

22.3 C ( 72.1 F) . It's one of the curious little cultural differences between the east and west coasts. Sydney water is currently 23.9. Maybe on the east coast you know the seabreeze can quit any minute so if you can save a minute or two in rigging up by deleting the wetty??? The sun's pretty harsh here, a thin long john wetty saves on sunscreen.

90% of our sessions?? More like 1% of our sessions..... we get ALOT of sessions
There are a few Wizard 90's here, just not featured. At 85 kg's I find the 114 is the perfect one board solution for 12 to 30 knots

Thanks, appreciate the answer - that's pretty brisk for summer in my neighborhood but then the seabreezes aren't squat when the water warms up.

What size sail and boom are you using? Duck jibing my 8.0 on a 160-220 boom seems difficult.

WA foilers are leading the charge when it comes to free foiling.
incredible skills, beautiful conditions and awesome footage. Well done all

Nice drone footage & even better free foiling. Just nice to watch. Keep it up!

My Simmer Tricera is the blue, orange and white sail in the video. It's a 5.0 with a boom length of 172cm. Most the other sails featured are smaller than that.
Reckon your doing ok if you can duck gybe an 8.0

Really cool footage, and great sailing spots!
