Dockstarts round 5, finally getting to try running starts

The Vanier boat launch has a nice dock for running starts but it's a pretty busy boat launch and the police boat uses it as well. While there are no "no swimming" or "no jumping" signs I'm sure it's not appreciated most of the time. So with the miserable weather on Sunday I figured I would take advantage of the fact nobody would be using the boat ramp and give it a try.

👍🏻 I have tried a couple sessions here, the dock is not bad but still challenging with a wide foil. I was also surprised by the current coming and going. You are progressing nicely.

Super close! When running you can switch hand position once the board is moving so that you're just pushing down against the foil's lift. Then it's more of a surf pop-up where you can quickly/reliably swap your hands with your feet and keep the board level, while making it easier to run fast since your pushing down on the board rather than lifting it up.

I have the Axis Png 1150 (not sure what you have) and switched to the Kluber board a week ago. I used to do running starts but I find the Kluber easier to jump start because I find the Png 1150 sensitive to getting jumped on. Much easier if you get force forward rather than down on the board. I also had to move the mast all the way back so that part of the mast sticks out back of the board. Otherwise the lift was way to much and too fast, so it immediately stalled. I weigh 70kg. Hope you find something useful of my technique. And keep up the good work! You are making progress!

I have a Spitfire 1180 and an ARTPRO 1401. I've been using the 1401 for dead start and the 1180 for running starts. Sadly both are more challenging than the PNG 1150 to learn on, I asked Axis if they would make an 1150b and they said no. I hear the have some black fuse beginner friendly wing in the works but it's not ready yet.

Okay, I have not tried the new wings from Axis. Too bad that they are hard to start but I guess they are better once you get going. Just keep trying and you will find a technique that suits you and your gear. 😊

At 1:09 you mentioned the current. What time was it around.. I’m trying to nail down the tide speed change and when it speeds up VS backs off at Locarno.

So my parking ( $4.50/hr >.< ) started at 6:35, 15 min to gear up and then maybe 20-25 minutes before it shut off, so I'd say around 7:15 is when it shut off. The PA tide reading was still flooding until 10:00 though so I guess the current must shut down once the fill rate drops below a threshold.

@@slappyosis Thank you... makes perfect sense. Looking at the tide chart that means it hit a saturation point (filled) as 715 is toward the end of the sine curve as you mentioned.
