And you ? what gear do you use in very light wind ?

Another great video Gwen, impressive stuff, not a lot of wind to work with there, but that did not stop you

when the wind blows 8-9 knots on the water there is a ripple on the video I do not see

don't make me laugh 8-9 knots is not an extreme light wind. Here are 6-7 knots this is a real extreme light wind

Awesome job Gwen! We've been getting going in 6-7 knot winds here at altitude (6000 ft) with the Ezzy Hydras. Tons of technique is needed, but it's doable.

I've been going in 3-20 knts last time.

The guy who posted the video said (in the yourtube comments) it was 5-10. I'm assuming the 5 is where he wasn't planing. You are comparing someone pumping a 12 vs someone gliding on a 9. Big difference.

IndecentExposure, I'm a bit at altitude with the hot and humid summer air, it's pretty thin* but you are another whole level!

*Our density altitude in the summer can be 4500ft.

LOL. I was able to sail at 8500 ft in sub 8 knot winds and 95 degrees. One small puff is all you need sometimes! :)

I use a 9.0 Areotech FreeSpeed, Goya Bolt Pro 135L and an AFS Wind 95 foil with an 800F wing in 8-9 knots going a little down wind to get up, I weigh 190 lbs in gear.

In this video, there were 8-9 in the gusts which allowed to trigger the flight. We can keep flying in a weaker wind but not too long.
My weight is 100 kg ... below 8 knts, i can't fly !

Yeah, well, it's not legal here yet... Okay, back to windfoiling.
