Wrist leashes that don’t have a double back closure! Awkwardly trying to velcro a cuff closed with one hand, especially while windy, makes me want to shoot myself.
Surely you don’t actually put it on your wrist?
I think wrist leashes should go to room 101.
Tried wing attached to waist leash, not a fan.
Just swap to PW, no more nasty leash at all
Have you had a shoulder dislocating gust yet?
I’d seriously rethink your decision. It can be a pita but might save you some grief.
Multiple shoulder tears from BJJ and rock climbing. Zero issues in years of winging, it’s much more chill.
Parawinging feels more likely to do it - hopefully that lessens as I get less terrible.
Good ok im throwing wing leashes on the waist in the room!
So wrist leashes out, waist leashes out.
We’ll just tie the board leash and wing leash together and attach around the neck. ![]()
You are right. Let’s put winging in there
ok. My personal pet peeve in foil marketing. Websites hiding different foils under categories like “surf foil” and “sup foil” so I have to intuit what category a foil is under to find it on a website. Foils are foils for foiling
Calling parawings “wangs” ![]()
String ‘wangs’ ![]()
Influencers posting video of their recent trip to “Hood River” showing them ripping turns at Rufus (45 miles from HR), Blalock/Arlington (75 miles from HR) or the Hatchery (not even in the same state as HR).
Collectively it is the Columbia River Gorge.
The foiling in Hood River proper is actually total garbage unless you are a beginner, like flat water, enjoy foiling in the wind shadow of an island, or being paid to hang out at AWSI.
While we are at it, lets lock “influencers” in the room and toss the key.
influencers
edit: haha I didn’t make it to the end if your post before jumping in
Never knew those spots arent in “Hood river”
While we’re at it can we throw “the Hood” in there? I’ve lived in the Gorge and have lots of friends from there and have never once heard a local say “the hood”
