    Another important point is to keep your board level side to side. A common mistake is to allow the board to lean into the wind before you launch. You want all the foil lift straight up the mast will provide the side forces needed to counter those from your wing.

    Super , ton allegorie avec la montagne et le velo, j ai mes ailes pour piloter des ultra-legers et tout ce que tu viens de vulgariser, ca vient de rentrer entre mes deux oreilles. Je fais le meme truc dans les air avec mon paramoteur, et la avec mon foil , tu viens de me faire réaliser. Merci j en ai écouté des centaines de video sur ce sujet et la c est le top. C est parfait. J etais toujours avec trop de pression avec mon pied arrière. Mon downwind sera super mieux cette saison.

    Thanks for posting these!The analogy of skipping a stone resonates with me most. I prefer small skips and wing pumps to get some forward speed first and gradually accentuate until on foil. Usually because the wind often completely flops around here on the sub 10knot days. If you always poor on the horsepower you'll tire out quickly. You don't always have to rocket out of the water, once the board clears the water surface and can build appearent wind, youre laughin! I love this sport though, everyone has their own style and techniques 🤙Very interested in playing around with flatwater paddle ups.. maybe "no paddle paddle ups" if I ever get good enough like Gwen 😂
