BEST in class. Best Gear. But ALSO, best informative and educational videos. Long Live Omen.

Good tip. I’ll be breaching more as I test the limits of how high I can ride the mast.

My best tips downwinding: if you can see a big bump right to your side or coming up, it’s most likely too late. Do not chase it. Do not try and get on it. Follow it.

Oh and white water. White caps generally come from the biggest bumps and highest point. If you see white, point towards it if it’s to your right or left. If it’s in front of you choose left or right briefly and cut back.

You’re pretty much always looking to be in a trough. You can never truly go directly downwind and you generally can’t go perpendicular to the wind/upwind. But you can almost always go downwind and perpendicular to that.

So if the wind is blowing from the east, you can generally travel northeast and southeast. South will be a brief cutback and north will generally point you into a better bump.

Best wishes to anyone getting into it! I strongly recommend wing foiling before any other downwind discipline as your wing ALWAYS gets you out of trouble. Why pump when you can wing upwind and reset?

Stay on the top third of the wave and make turns to stay in the pocket…. Got it!

Thanks for this video! Can't wait to get on the water now :)

Great summary Greg!

Great tips Greg.

Great video Greg!!

Great video!

Great video

amazing description, great summary. it think it might be time to jump down a board size.

Thank you! Finally some basics I can actually follow :)

Hi,

I did not understand bonus 1 regarding building up speed and dropping back to the wave behind, can you explain please?

What if it feels like the set wave is out running you, and you can’t see that until it’s past you?

Good video! Might wanna age restrict it with that wetsuit though O_O

Your tip#1 how do you “build as much speed as possible and drop back a wave” ?  Drop down the steepest  part of the wave to get speed and then  turn all the way back to the wave behind it without coming off foil? That seems impossible.

I noticed your stance has your feet well off the centreline of the board. Is there a reason for that? I would think that when you trim the board in pitch, you're going to get some steering too?
Thanks for the great videos!

More videos of this kind!
Btw wave selection should be different if it's windswell or goundswell? I find 2 set to be best. But will try the last one.

Is this the omen supermarine? I have the 95 and love it. Sold all my other boards and wing that in all conditions! Best board ever

Nice info, but no links to Omen products??
