I'm a board sports video creator looking to tell interesting stories from this world of board riders. I enjoy observing how people express their creativity through surfing, whether it is the classic form of surfing in the ocean or the innovative approaches of river surfing and surf skating. I find the advancements in foilboarding fascinating and look forward to its potential expansion, as well as the art of longboard riding. If you would like to keep up with my latest content, please feel free to subscribe to my channel.
Thanks. Some locals asked us not to mention this spot, so we'll respect their wishes. However, there are a few very good spots in Zurich that you can definitely check.
How long would it take a 63 years old man with experiences of windsurfing, kitesurfing, and wingsurfing to learn to pump efficiently for 30 seconds? Or it is not realistic to learn at this age?
With the right equipment 3-5 sessions. About 100-150 starts. If you have good equipment even faster. It’s not that hard!!! I managed 1 min 40 seconds on terrible foil (small) in 5 sessions and I’m 50.
From my talks with many foilers, the average is between 150-300 dock starts; I'm sure your kite and windsurfing background will help you, although you need to get used to the foil.
@@boardtales Wow! I have almost 3000 attempts and get 8 seconds the most. I'm about 1. 65 meter tall and weigh 63 kg. I have Axis 1150 PNG and 460 V2 as my set up. I tried Axis 1300 PNG but I don't have enough weight to control the front foot. I think my pumping skill is not good without helps from a kite or a wing.
@@kevinmikaere48 I am going to be taking a surfing lesson soon. Any advice for first timers? It will be at Surf City, N.C. waves are pretty small unless we are expecting a hurricane.
@@heatherbenson1663 hey hi ya am from new Zealand a place called mount manganui bay of plenty good luck pronouncing this name:). Can only go my own experience s over 20 plus years for me was staying with as can go into 2 to 3 to 4 years before it feels like you're really starting to get the gest of it was almost giving up stages lots did .and then one day you'll go out when you least expect it small waves terrible cold and all that 4 years work comes together in one day believe it or not how I started as this is really only the beginning of your surfing career. From here on in your learnt the basics. Taking the drop .bottom turn is wher it gets going get good at these to moves as it sets you up for the rest of the waves coming your way other moves will fall in to place we have a saying even a talented person would take tens years minimum to get these moves down like pro standards sort a thing.

Ich habe mit 45 Jahren das Skateboardfahren an den Nagel gehängt nach 2 Frakturen im Skatepark innerhalb von 2 Jahren. Da ich Wassermann bin, scheint mir Hydrofoil Pumping eine tolle Alternative zu sein :) Leider ist der Aufwand sicher recht hoch, diesen Sport zu betreiben. Man braucht: See, Steg, Foil, Wetsuit, Auto...
Den Pumptrack skateboarden ist super, das kannst du noch ein paar Jahrzente weitermachen :) Bin knapp 30 und habe mir das vor ein paar Monaten beigebracht.
I wonder how that foil goes in waves? Gunnar's design? I't quite similar to a design I'm finishing off at the moment. All us designers who keep up to date seem to be trending for particular conditions. High Aspect was big last year but a lot of people are now looking more for foils that are agile in messier waves. Looks like that design would fit.
Excellent historical video Dr. Sarah! I also went down the same path to pumpfoiling addiction but exactly a year later than you. Your early videos inspired me . I'm gonna be 72 this year and am presently trying to break the 2 minutes barrier. 🏄🌟🤩
