Simon smashing it at Cottesloe

Slingshot Hoverglide Infinity 76, Wizard 105, Simmer Tricera 5m

Great video Azymuth, time for me to move to Australia. Simon was making me nervous with some of those jibes on the inside, it did not look much deeper than his foil mast. It's obvious he's got the skills to pull it off. This is one of those videos I should be showing people when they ask me what windfoiling is.

Great work editing JJ
Reckon you got the most out of your trusty iPhone
As the footage shows wind was a bit patchy inside but the wind range of the Tricera combined with the ability of the SS Infinity 76 to glyde through lulls made them the perfect combination.
Throw in a few waves and it's next level fun!!

Cheers dude. Says a lot for the versatility of the SS HoverGlide/Infinity 76 that it's also the perfect foil to learn on

Cheers Windbot - you're welcome to come and join the Dutchies Frothers

It's pretty deep around the rock groyne but there is a solitary rock further out south of the groyne that we hit occasionally

Wow super smooth duck gybes Simon.
I want to learn that for next year
How much harder is it to regular foiling gybes.

Where do you like to run the mast base on the 105? I'm getting that board for next year to do that exact same foiling. Looks like the go-to board for those conditions on the hoverglide setup
Would fit in the car nice too

Although, I am a big fan of the 105. The freestyle 115 in swell is sick. its a bit harder to gybe, but gives you much more control over over-foiling.

I think simon would rip on the 115 too

Thanks CAN17
If you're successfully flying through your gybes, duck gybes aren't much harder. Timing needs to be a bit more precise but the buzz of smooth transitions makes the learning worth while.
I run my mast base at the back of the track for all sails from 4.2 to 5.9 and they seem to cover me from 12 to 30 knots ( I switch to the Timecode 68 over 20 knots)
I find the Wizard 105 is perfect in short chop and swell, it's short length means it doesn't plow into troughs
Simon

I do love the look of the 115 and look forward to having a sail on one. I like the idea of back straps closer to the centre line for down wind carving.
Fully stoked with the 105 for now!!

Nice video and editing to match the music azymuth. What's the music track? I love it!
