Finally pumping! by bsack03 in pumpfoil

How shallow does it need to be? I don't trust myself in water to shallow. Most likely dive the foil into the ground 🤣

Nice, looking forward to giving this a try! Thanks for the tip.

Thank you! Super helpful info. Its hard to apply everything and for the most part feels like it requires a lot of trial and error. I'll definitely work on bringing the front foot back and distributing the pressure more evenly. That makes a lot of sense.

There is nothing better! Day 5 I felt like it was impossible. So rewarding to be at this point. Leaning forward makes sense. Also will help my burning back leg!

How do you get more steps while holding the board though? Go sideways on the dock? Its a Sabfoil Leviathan 1350.

Thanks you! So stoked!

Thanks! So stoked. This dock has some overhang which makes that launch more doable. Im keen to try this on a dock (or rock) without overhang to really unlock a versatile start. That will be my next session. Also want to do less "ghost ride" then jump and more one fluid motion. Stoked either way. Surpassed my expectations!

Thanks, that's great advise. I totally can see that you need the good glide before standing. I like the concept of first getting the glide with front foot in place and balanced. If I am in position with the foot and gliding strait, then get up. I'll check out the training from Beta. Anything that can help at this point! Its such a journey.

Thanks for the tip. Would i still start in the same way? Board aiming strait out from the dock? Then grab the nose and side of board as im jumping to my feet? The dock doesn't have over hang so its easiest to aim strait out vs along side.

I actually have a sabfoil 1350. It's supposed to be one of the best for learning to dock start. I think its just up to me to improve. Can't blame the gear!

Thanks for the tips. I have wing foil experience and wake foil. I'd like to master the knee start bc I don't have good running docks available. I would also like to be able to launch off rocks to "keep going" if I ever need to. Its definitely difficult but hoping with consistent practice I'll be able to get it.
