This was a worlds first! Tom Hartmann from the GWA founded the SFT, A tour with not wind powered foil sports. And at the biggest boat show in the world, they built a huge pool (20*60 meters) where the first competition was held.
Spectacular racing and sports we want to see more of!
Congratulations to Benjamin, Titouan and Rob who are just on another level!
As pointed out by @tgyal 2nd in the women division was Viola Lippitsch, not Nia Suardiaz!

Hi, I'm new to these competitions: aren't there any rights of way or stuff like that to rule the possible interferences?
No. It was the first competition like this so they needed to fugure out rules as they went :)
-
this looks like fun. cool stuff.
It was amazing
-
how long does it take for the average complete noob to learn the basic of this? from never trying it before to being able to at least stay above water?
It depends: People say between 300-500 starts. But it depends on so many things: Have you been on the water before? Did you skateboard? how is your balance? What gear do you have? Even for a water sports enthusiasts, it is harder than one might think!

I have friends that go to Dulseldorf for other reasons. 😂😂😂😮

As dude below said "NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE AN ORGANIZED SPORT" I see kids in my city jumping fr a curb to bannister & high fiving like its the superbowl
totally agree, but you can have both: professional basketball is cool but shooting hoops with your friends is great too..!
-
supercool..what do you call those foil with tiny boards?
Pumpfoil or dock starting
@mattonfoil thank you.. I have never seen it in Australia. Cheers mate
@monkeyzeetube it is huge in switzerland as we dont have waves

Hydro Foils are awesome but not everything needs to be turned into a competition. Talk about boring to watch. I think I’d rather watch golf and from me that’s sayin something
Golf is great to watch..!
How about a pump cross? 4 at the same time! It was way better live!
Your cramps must be rough this month.
Lol true true
Go whine to your boyfriend.

hmm maybe they should do weight category the lighter you are the smaller the foil you can put and the faster you will be, it's never been taken in consideration i dont know why !
Actually, the two guys who won were around 80kgs
-
so cool.
-
Cool event! BTW 2nd in the women division was Viola Lippitsch, not Nia Suardiaz 😅
Oh, sh*** Sorry Viola!!!!
@mattonfoilseparate women’s division, or everyone together? How did times compare? (I’m trying to get my wife excited about pump-foiling)
@DrKnowNothing1 They were slower but still looked great..! and as it was a close race, it was still interesting..!

Wird vermutlich noch eine Weile dauern, bis Pumpfoiling live im TV übertragen wird 😉 Umso wertvoller dein Video 🙌 Danke dafür!
-
Thanks Matt for sharing this with us!

Ich glaub ich brauch nen schnelleren Flügel 😉 Super Level mitlerweile beim Pumpen. Schön zu sehen wie der Sport wächst. Gern mehr davon, auch Wingen ist interessant. Weiter so 🤙

@mattonfoil thanks so much maybe Rob went for a bit too small ;-)
@mattonfoil Hi. So glad you answered this question, thanks. What front wing and stabiliser was Balz using? It looked huge. Regards.
Stab I don't know, but the Frontwing was the 1150 Leviathan - "Oldie but Goldie" he said :)
-
Nice
Thanks

Did you get to see which foils the #1 and #2 place were using?
Benjamin used a Duotone and Titouan a Cabrinha. I'll ask them which one and get back to you!
guess with a big foil it was difficult to the riders to make the curve without touching the ground, right?@mattonfoil
@pete3036 we sometimes did.. There were a few cuts in the pool as well so yes, that was part of the game too!

@mattonfoilneed a slightly deeper pool next year? Although shallow water improves lift, due to hydro equivalent of ground-effect, correct?
@DrKnowNothing1 I also heard about that and seems legit. Pool depth is something you have to consider when going into turns...
@mattonfoilrider weights to go w gear choices?
@DrKnowNothing1 The first 2 around 80kgs, place 3 and 4 50ishkgs
