How much does weight of the gear matter?
whats the experience of the pro guys? There is not much info out there. Some wing foilers were saying to me - weight doesn't matter , if you up flying . For me thinking basic physics , gravity is what keeps us down floating . If you have less gear weight , you need less wind, less wing size, less ...

adding to this wing foil going upwind - in my search for learning avoiding all my upwind walks ( thinking time) I found this tutorialhttps://www.progression.me/blog/learning-to-win ... ngsurfing/
