I agree carving toe side then heel side is a blast, I was beginning to wonder if anyone else felt the same. I have fun doing it on a bump but also on flat water or in chop. Thanks for sharing.
Here is a different view, although my video is no where near the quality of your video.

Nice downwind gybing on the bumps - good to see others' vids

OK, that does it. Gonna take the windfoil out of mothballs, have another crack.

If I had perfectly flat water to foil I'd be more interested in going fast, but I'd rather carve swell any day.
Curious to see how the wingfoil compares.

Thanks, I had to delay the finish of the Jibe(s) to line up with the next decent trough.

I totally Agree!!! I would rather carve a swell on my custom Roberts board in Maui rather than a 20+lb formula board on a lake filled with 2ft chop in Alberta. But you gotta work with what ya got. And I had a blast.

Foiling definitely makes almost flat conditions feel like a wave, which I love.

I like to actually drop in and surf waves on my Goya Bolt 135 with AFS Wind 95 foil F800 wing.

Nice - does the 80cm wide wing turn ok?

Do you know what type of Drone Thomas uses. I have a Mavic Pro but wondering if he has tried the Mini as it would allow for fights in more air spaces.
He really is good at close flybys. Problem with being the Drone pilot is you don't get many shots of yourself but your friends love it.
