From your knees... "Push up with your BACK leg." Why was I trying to stand up using my FRONT leg.
I was challenged standing up to Goofy. Great Tip!
(Sky Wing 5'8" and 4+6M Ozone Wasp)
Great video, including your part 1. You are a great teacher, and showing Chloe learning more from a beginners perspective (even if she is not one), was helpful as well. Thank you for your video(s). Much appreciated. Also huge point to you for not running a terrible background music in your videos. So much more professional, as opposed to the quasi professional who tries to make their videos seem professional by adding terrible annoying music to video which is ultimately distracting. A bonafide 10 star video!
The Best Video on YT about WingFoil, Thanks Alan for your time .Cheers from South of Spain.
Thank you Manu, My best work is at Patreon.com/AlanCadiz check it out.
I've seen thousands of Wing videos to learn this new sport and this is one the best so far. Congrats! I would suggest to make one explaining about the best Foil position in the the fin track for different sizes of board, ie: should we position forward or backward and what should be the leg position in the board when sailing...
excellent tutorial, really helpful pointers, thanks Alan
What an excellent lesson! Makes me think my old windsurfer body might be able to do this.
Yes, your windsurf skill will help you learn the wing quickly. Start on a big board, learn the wing, then move to a high volume foil board. Wear vest and Helmut.
I hope you are correct... I'm an old beat up 74 year old. Long career of everything wind & water
Awesome video, cheers Alan for the the simple explanation.
great video, great advice, best for me so far, thanks Alan
Thanks Justin, Please check out my premium channel at Patreon.com/Alan Cadiz for my best work.
Hello Allan, I followed your pointers many years ago with primarily windsurfing. For 30 years I've windsurfed, kiteboarded, kite foiled and this year I'm finally going to start Winging. I'm 148 pounds and purchased a 99L board. I noticed at 140lbs you are on a 140L board? Wow. I hope I can do this. Excellent video
I currently ride a 60 Liter board, you can do it!
Amazing! This is what I've been looking for. Really helpful video with some great tips. I've shared it with a friend who's just starting and it'll save me teaching him!

Looks so fun! Great video, Dad! 🤩
Thank you to my best student ever!
I think you’ve forgotten about your other best student, Dad
Cady Masterman What age is your dad......he’s an inspiration to me. Hope not a rude question. I want to try the wing...I just turned 60.
Great video Alan. Much appreciated.
Quality instruction as on your HST, Jibing with Alan Cadiz on Maui DVD. Excellent video tutorial!. Same hat, same voice. Older windsurfer learning to windsurf foil. This wing thing has caught my interest. Thanks for the tutorial.
excellent video, thank you
Excellent instructional video Alan , thank you.
Great tutorial, thanks dude..
What a great video what a great instructional video. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into that! "I'm trying to keep the camera dry" cracked me up! oh my gosh, you just put forth so much effort thank you very much!
Sweet dog there at the end !
Thanks Alan, great video and tips especially of the crucial moments when getting up on foil and jibing.
Thks Alan very good tutorial!
One more comment. I agree with all the compliments below. Great camera work, great instruction, great natural instincts on how a beginner or skilled waterman/woman would make corrections, and great pointers. I have seen all the other videos out there , and yours is no question -- the best. Thanks again. ( I have background in Surfing, , skiing , waterskiing, sailing, skateboarding, wakeboarding, kite surfing, flying, gliding, soaring, etc etc- so its easy for me to learn, and I STILL see how your instruction would do so well for ANYONE whether or not they already have any of those skills).
Thank you for that very nice review. I truly appreciate it. Since Covid 19 has suspended our water sports school here on Maui I have been sharing some of what I have learn so far about this very addictive sport on tube. I posted a new video last night and have more in the pipeline. Please subscribe to my channel. ALAN CADIZ
Aloha from Maui.
@@alancadizwingfoilinginstru2926 smart sharing your experience online. It makes people like myself listen and want to attend your water sports school (there is always room for improvement). You are a class A teacher and your video demonstrates that. Whether intentional or not, you video will bring more people to your school FOR SURE.
I directed a couple of people to your video (one of them is a friend who was a pro windsurfer MANY years ago) and each of them said it was by far the best and you were a great teacher. I 100% agree.
Eventually when pandemic is over, will take a trip to Maui and attend your school, take a private lesson from you, etc etc.
The best instructor ever-thanks for this video!
very good video, thank you!!
Great video. thanks for sharing. I am a windsurfer from "back in the day" and I am super keen to give this winging and foiling a go. Cheers from the Isle of Wight, UK.
Fantastic video. Just what I was looking for. Great to see a guy my age teaching. Greetings from Europe.
Great instructions and video. I'm using the wing on a SUP but the goal is to get on a foil, this video will help a lot to buy one (they are so darn expensive).
Thank you for your effort!
Great tutorial with dog tax in the end. Doesn't get any better, thanks!
what a legend, the best video ever, well done Alan.
Thanks Alan. TOP VIDEO!
What a fantastic video, you are great at talking through the steps and what to do, many thanks for sharing your skills, I take my hat off to you and hope I can do what you do at your age, cheers.
Thanks Alan for all your videos you are a very skilled wingfoiler and instructor. I'm having my first tries next week on Fuerteventura with the right gear but unfortunately wavy water conditions, hoping for suitable winds. I think your tips will help me a lot. I was on Maui 35 years ago and appreciated seeing Spreckelsville, Lahaina, Paia, Northshore, the djungle around the Haleakala, seven pools and many other beautiful places. You, your dog and your daughter send warmhearted vibes to Germany, thank you for that as well.
Thanks Alan! See you at the Kahului Harbor!
Super helpful, Thanks
That's a really good video , thanks so much for the share.

Best and most helpful tips I have come across. Thanks for your great explanations.
Thank you Johannes, If you like this video please check you my Patreon.com/AlanCadiz channel. My best instructional wing videos are there. Please support my effort to make more. Thanks
Thank you. This is an excellent video. I watched this and following your advice I managed to use the wing to go upwind (instead of the usual swim). Greetings from a small lake up here in Canada.
Thanks Seb M. What the water temp there and how much longer is your season?
Good on you Alan,
A great progressive video, what a great camera you have, the audio is so clear as well.
The narrative is top rate Alan, loved the professional demeanor throughout along with playing the plan in consecutive steps.Anyone could learn from this, maybe with a little coaching from you at Kanaha!
Best tutorial video. And I've seen them all.
Aloha Martino, Thank you. Since filming and editing these videos, I have made a series of detailed instructional wing foiling video from beginner through jibing. I add more each month. You can find them at Patreon.com/AlanCadiz
Seems like very sensible instructions. You make it look easy, and I can envision myself making these movements.
Thank you Randal, I have had some practice. But lots of people are making it look easy these days. If you can imagine it, you can do it!
THANKS from Sardinia Alan
Loved that thank you 😊
Nice video.
Thank you so much! Great lesson!
Thank you Chip, Glad you liked it. I have more in-depth video on Patreon.com/AlanCadiz. I will be posting a how to jibe video soon.

reminds me of my learning windsurfing days..be light footed and sensitive for the switching of feet in the foiling. now just with I had a foil...wish wish
Great instructional video for a new wing foiler. I had one question - where would you suggest positioning the mast in the mast track for a beginner.
Another valuable tutorial video. Great video set-up to understand what you’re describing. Thanks a lot for putting such efforts. Keep on sending them. Cheers.
I must say some really good tutorial tips for wing foiling compared to others
Thank you Wilkothewiz, If you like these please check out Patreon.com/AlanCadiz for my best most in-depth instructional wing videos.
It bites! Yup, had to learn that lesson the hard way!
Right on Steve!
Superb video Alan. I have put everything you said into action and I'm now up and running. Can I ask what camera you are using and what mount? Nice and smooth and seems to be level all the time? Thank you.
Thanks, Its a GoPro Max on a helmet mount and on the end of a short carbon boom.
@@alancadizwingfoilinginstru2926 Thank you Sir.
Thanks Alan. I kind of remember you from my windsurfing days (1990-2000). Lot of this looks so similar to pumping onto a plane, "water starting " etc . A lot of windsurfing elements. I mainly cable wake at this point but was just saw this is Puerto Rico. Ready to jump back in the pool and wing foil . Thanks as your videos are DIY and awesome for us disenchanted with kiting ! How much yoga do you do to stay flexible ?
Thanks onnion63, There is a lot of crossover from both windsurfing and kitesurfing. You will like it! I have more in-depth instructional wing foil video's at Patreon.com/AlanCadiz. Check them out. Yoga, not enough but I just finished some core exercises. I try to get on the water at least three or four times a week. Stay young and learn to wing!
Great
great video, very educational, too bad I can't come to Hawaii this year, I would have liked to improve myself with a session with you .
🤙🤙👍
Vincent Michel
Thanks Vincent, Next year hopefully. In the mean time I can save you some money. Check out Patreon.com/AlanCadiz. I just posted an instructional wing foil jibe video.
great video, what size foil is that? thanks
He is the best!
I am unfortunately aware that rookies like me sometimes fail to see dangers in new sports. I torn my ligaments in big wave SUPing and years ago hurt my ankles with windsurfing straps. I think it would be useful to the extent that you have the opportunity to share with us good habits (apart from wearing an impact vest, helmet and wetsuit). I am particularly concerned with the foil itself. It seems that you jump leeward when you reach the shore which is probably a very good idea to keep the foil away from the sail but I am worried that the wind may bring the foil back onto you (has that ever happened?). Typically in windsurfing or surfing I would prefer to jump windward. Also, any tips for entering or exiting when there is a large shore break? Many thanks for sharing your experience.
Hey mate, I started wingfoiling not long ago with the same board. I'm having some trouble finding the best position for the mast on the foil track. Do you remember if you had to adjust much depending on wind conditions? Thanks
Aloha Alan, Great video! What's the size of the board? Thanks !!!
145 liters
Thanks Alan, for that perfect video and all your efforts. Which kind of wing do you prefer? With a boom or a fully inflatable. And why? I'm gonna use it from a boat and getting rid of all hard stuff would be great.
What kind of boat? Sail or power?
A 55ft power boat. It has a bathing platform which is pretty convenient. Nevertheless a very limited space. I'm an old windsurfer and tried the past two years windsurfing from the boat. But rigging with mast, boom and all the other stuff is, due to wind and waves always problematic. So I'm looking for an alternative.
@@stefanknorsch Sounds nice. I like the boom because of my windsurfing background. The wing is the easy part. Your board and foil will be cumbersome. fortunately they break down for storage. But easier than a windsurfing kit.
Thanks for your answer and your advice. As I have also a long windsurfing background, starting back in 1981, I think I will opt for the boom. I saw you the last time in 1993 on Maui. Long time ago. 😂 Wish you all the best and thanks for your great contributions here on CZcams. 🙏🏻
Best video I’ve seen yet, and I’ve seen a few.
Good vid. What is the best angle to the wind the get the most power in light wind to get rising onto the foil? Broad reach to reach?
In light wind, I think a reach because in light wind the further you head off the wind like a broad reach the lower you wind speed. Like an airplane, taking off into the wind increase your apparent wind speed. But there are other factors too, your foil size and ground swell direction. However this sport is still so new the rules and boundaries have not been set.
Good info. Exactly what I need at my beginner level. BuoyBoy.
Alan Cadiz thanks 🙏👍. Personally I’ve been finding it helps to go broad reach to gain speed but not consistently and I’m still progressing and have very little success get foil up in less than say 15 knots which ever technique I try, even with big foil wings.
Sensational video, great tips...you are a natural teacher mate
I’ve just purchased the duotone echo 5m, and still to decide on a board and foil?
I’m coming from a slalom windsurf background, fine with switching feet, any recommendations for board size and matching fin?
I don’t wish to regret that expensive decision. Feel I could get to a medium to advance level relatively quickly.
Love your vids mate.
Yeah forget to say, I’m 5ft 10, and weigh 78kg
@@myphilippineslife1804 Thanks. I think you will end up on a board around 75-80 liters. although its possible to get up on a sinker you want a board that will float you as long as your moving ahead at the slowest speed. However it very difficult to learn on a near sinker board. Possible but slow. When you learned to windsurf the board was not on the same as your slalom board, correct? A good learning size for your weight? 110-140 liters? The fin, you mean Foil. Bigger is better for learning. Thats is the current thinking with this sport. Keep me posted on your progress.
Alan Cadiz thanks Alan. So when you say a smaller foil when more advanced, are the foil parts swappable? (Trying to save some cash!) ....as 2 boards looks the likely biggest outlay over time.
Yeah, I learnt on a 135ltr free ride board, then ended up on a 99 free ride.
But My slalom racer is 116, really stable, fast.
@@myphilippineslife1804 Most brands the components are swappable but confirm that before you buy. Is reselling your learning board an option in your area?
Alan Cadiz unfortunately nope.
I can get hold of a 151ltr starboard GO. And can get it chopped/reshaped lol
Sound reasonable? Then throw it away haha
Hello
What system do you use to hang your cameras?
Thank you
Suggestion ... video about starting to turn, in taxi mode but powered. Most video, if so, show turning when on your knees or when standing up but stationary turning the board with your feet a d then powering up again. Most jump to turns when already being able to be on foil.
Also most only show the jibe but when beginner you don't want to loose ground each time when turning.
Lucky I now manage to go upwind (most of the time) but when I fall and need to get back on the board, find balance, flip over the wing, and by doing so I loose too much ground.
Aloha Neo, Have you seen my links to my premium site Patreon.com/ALanCadiz ? I have more detailed instructional videos there. LMK
Aluula wings..can you tell me any info ? Are noticably stiffer than slick
I’m trying to decide the new Echo. As a beginner would this be a good wing option ? I weigh 165 thinking about a 5M
The Echo is an excellent wing. The 5 should be good.
can you go upwind while sitting on your knees ?
Aka mr. Smooth 🤘🤘🤘
What does "sheeting in" mean?
When I try bringing the wing overhead to “come back down”, it actually provides more lift and the nose comes up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Sheet out or luff the wing to depower.
Thanks, Alan. You’re videos are really appreciated. BTW, I ran an International Windsurfer Sailing School back in the 70’s. The dry land trainer we used then (a truncated windsurfer mounted on a rotating base) works great for teaching wing and board handling skills, turns jibes, etc. on dry land. Aloha, Joe
Is this the coolest old guy alive?
Hey Alan.... is there a one stop surf/kite shop which can sell me everything or help me order everthing? if so can you please pass on the link?
Great tips but seeing the leash under your foot the entire time was driving me nuts.
Lol, yes me to when I was editing this part. I apparently did not notice while filming.
