Liam is back in Cape Town once again to compete at the Red Bull King Of The Air for his 3rd consecutive year. After making every place on the podium except for 1st in previous years, there is nothing that he wants more than to win.
Most of us have never lived such uncertain times. One thing is certain, at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be wind and there will be waves.
Hi friends! We sincerely hope that you’re all well in these troubled times.
It feels very weird to be granted with so much spare time when we desperately miss it in our daily routines. It is rather disturbing to cope with it!
These accessories are essential weapons against the elements in cold water. They are designed to make you ride longer, whether it’s to fight the cold or the wind or both. You can ride without but you’ll always feel better with them!
Tom Constant now spends most of his time in full flight, whether he is on the water or in the air. A local from the South East of France, he is passionate about SUP, foil and wing. Discreet and adventurous, sometimes solitary, he likes to share and exchange with others. He leads his life with simplicity and fluidity.
At MANERA, we have decided not to focus our marketing on the “Eco-friendly” aspect, because our strength lies in the performance of our products. Every company must strive to offer less harmful products; this must become the norm. We have therefore chosen to explain, with full transparency, the actions we are implementing for the environment on this page.

This is the third and final blog on my Wingsurfers Guide Through Progression. If you missed the two earlier blogs on getting started you can review them here. They will help to give some context on my experience during the early days (funny, just 3 months ago) and lead up to this final blog. Thanks in advance for reviewing and hopefully this will help some of you out that are learning this relatively new sport. Now well into my efforts to become better at winging I’m very happy with the progress to date. As mentioned in previous blogs, it’s a quick learn if you can keep at it. I’ve had the luxury of getting to try a good amount of the F-One Winging lineup and finding the right gear for the right conditions is helpful and makes the learning curve much quicker. With the right gear you’ll spend way more time up foiling and avoid getting exhausted trying to get up or stay up on foil. After a few months of practice, I can now competently get up on foil, stay upwind, tack, jibe, surf swell and have a great time out on the water doing it. Throughout this time, I started on larger boards, foils and wings and moved to smaller ones as my skills progressed. Here’s what I found works well for me now.

Born in Germany, Simon Joosten first caught the kite bug when he got to ride on his dad’s back at the age of 5. A talented skateboarder, he finally decided to live off his passion for kitesurfing and created his own kiteschool in Barbados. His effortless flow and style led him to place 6th at his first GKA Kite-Surf World Tour in 2019. F-One is proud to have this humble and skilled rider joining the team.
Liam has been training like a possessed man for the KOTA (the annual big air event taking place in Cape Town, South Africa) with the new BULLIT kite, specifically designed for this kind of wind and style. Wind window period is now open is from Feb 1 to Feb 16.
