Rodeo Style Wing Foil starting on a low volume board. In this video it is a 60L board but I'm starting the same way with a 34L Armstrong Wing Sur 4'5 Board. My weight is 93 kg wet, -33 respect -59 on the 34L.
This is the absolute easiest way to start on a sinker board. Way easier than the so-called StinkBug Method or the pure Waterstart. You don't need that much energy to get up on the board because your board is moving forward from the beginning and you are always stable.
Also easy to start in choppy or wavy water and in wind from 13/14 kts.
Try this :-) and let me know how it works
Board Skywalker, OZONE Wasp 6m, Armstrong Foil 1550v2
To be continued :-)

Great video! I think it’s those moments just before take off where I am almost digging a rail... I can see that you have a great technique to get through that step effectively.

Thanks! :-) Try the rodeo style to get up on the foil as I'm doing. It's really easy. In one of my next vids you can see how I'm starting this way on a 34L Armstrong board in gusty wind.

Glad you posted this, it's an interesting thought, I don't know that everyone is that flexible, but I agree that gets you onto the kneel with the wing high above your head. Smart, glad it works for you, I'll give it a try.

Thanks for your feedback! In the meantime, I've worked out some variations of the rodeo start which allow for an easier start on the board. To learn more, check out my other videos on this subject. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing this. I do the stinkbug (60L board and weigh 82kg) and I like the look do this technique. This video specifically helped me to visualise the order in which you do the movement: feet first onto the board followed very quickly by the knees and then pop up. Is that correct? You almost seem to do it in one flowing movement from bringing up the feet to bringing up the knees to popping up?)

@buenacloud Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yep, you recognized it precisely. But to make it easier I push the board one the tail down to the water before I pull the feet up on the board. Hope, you can see that?

@@buenacloud Ah, OK. No, I hadn't seen that until you pointed it out. And you sink the tail a bit by moving slightly back on the board so that the bodyweight sinks it? And then you bend forwards at the hips and bring the feet onto the board?

@@asquared01 Yep. I'm trying to swing up and down my body to sink the board and then I pull myself up with the wing. Then I move my feet and then the knees on the board. I start like this if the wind is stronger. If the wind is maybe not that strong I use another method to get up on board on a small sinker board. Look at this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrOEgb2K3LnOn5c.html this is way easier to do.

@@buenacloud Thank you - I saw that other video and agree it may be the very easiest of the various permutations to start in lighter wind and I already do that one - not quite as smoothly as you, though! I am a little more interested in the pure rode start in strong winds, because that is where the chop starts making things more challenging. We have good winds blowing from Thursday this week so now I have something to practice. Greetings from Australia.

I tried it on 100L board without success. I moved to 75 which is my weight still no luck. I am starting to think this is sinker board only. I can see that you push the tail of the board under the water.

Hi, exactly. I push the tail. In my following videos I have included some new rodeo start variations that will also work on larger/longer boards. I hope this will be more helpful. Check out my other videos on the channel. 🤟
