A good subject for instruction, covered well. I come from a Windsurfing background and I might add a point. At speed, a windsurfer wants to hang off the boom and deliver only enough foot pressure to keep the board directed and trimmed, while a foiler wants to keep solid downward foot pressure all the time. I have found myself instinctively lightening pressure causing the board to quickly go out of control.

That’s very good! Guilty of all the points you mention. So inbred for us kutesugers and windsurfers “Let the wing take you” “don’t edge” “trust the foil” Beautifully put

Very useful, thanks. Love the info and how you're delivering it. Today I managed to stand up for the first time on my foil board. Still at the taxi stage... :)

Dude I'm in the process of learning. Your vids are by far the best. Pretty sure I'll be 10x better next time on the water

Thank you for this video. As an old windsurfer I think I am typically the guy who don't trust the glide of the foil. I have already around 40 sessions with regular foiling from the 10th but I still don't pass the gybe. My friends told me that I keep my wing with power too long in the turn. They said I have to relax and forgot my wing early. I will try to practice the tip of releasing my wing and trying to go as far as I can.

I wish I'd seen this a few months ago. Its taken me ages to work out for myself as a kiter and windsurfer that I Have to really consciously put more weight on my front foot as soon as I'm on foil, which then enabled me to keep my weight balanced and centralized on the board. Until then I would constantly find myself leaning too hard against the edge of the board and relying on the power of the wing then to correct once I got going (which it never did) and I kept on veering down into the water. At which point I would repeatedly shake my fist angrily at the sky and shout profanities at the foil Gods!! Just Starting to learn to jibe now and I'm quite sure you've also nailed it about relying on the glide. I feel like I'm trying to rush my turn too much instead of remembering I have more time than I expect. Thanks heaps for a really well explained tutorial and keep them coming !

Hi, thank you for this great video. You give very clear training. Could you do a video on foot placement on the board and foil position in the track. Andy.

Thanks for boosting us to learn this new sport Not overthink it is very good and trust the glide too Can you explain how to not fall on the foil when flying or learning as it’s a foil , and no longer a fin😅
