Very interesting!
Other techniques will work if there is wind, but I feel this technique really helps me getting going earlier in lightwind.
I'm almost getting the idea, Andy (windfoil pumping) but twenty seconds of on the water video would be so helpful! Right now I'm definitely heading too far downwind when foiling up and not sheeting in on apparent wind nearly enough. Mahalo!
Yeah some on water footage would help. Let me see what I can find
A lot of good technical talk of what’s going on. It takes a while for all this to become muscle memory. For me … Basically head upwind and get pressure, apparent wind, and speed. Don’t lean back. Wait for the puff. Start heading downwind and do the apparent wind pump. Reach out and get that sail in front of you with each pump. When the board is flat and the wing tip is somewhat in line with the front of the board, stop going further downwind, start taking longer pumps to get on foil, and engage your back foot a little. Shoving the board forward with your feet while doing all this can help engage the foil. Once coming up on foil, move your back foot up a little (or put more weight on the front) to keep the foil from coming up too fast and stalling. Once up, turn upwind to get pressure back in the wing. You might need to do another wing or foot pump to get higher than the waves or chop. If you moved your back foot, you might need to push it back a little.
There is a lot going on. Nothing too complex though, the difficulty is timing everything correctly
Post modern WING foil lesson for every level rider. I think it’s good that I am a already a subscriber.
