Are you winging the R in areas with large period ocean swells passing under. As much as I love R I find it tricky to stand up and get my balance if I have multiple long period swells that are passing under. Sometimes the swell gets large enough that it breaks and I also tow these same swells on the R foils.
Just to clarify — I don’t wing with these foils, I only use them for SUP downwind.
I don’t get any long-period swell where I ride, it is rarely more than 10s. But conditions are very fast, sub 2 minutes is easy, and pros go as fast as 1:3x 1:4x.
When I struggle with balance, I tend to blame my board rather than the foil.
where is this? Need to visit
French Mediterranean Sea.
