How to pump Wing Foiling | Onboard Video Series 

thank you for all the advices in the video! very good you tube channel to learn wing foil! Greetings from Italy, lake maggiore , Verbania

This circular movement when pumping- that's one motherfather pro tip which made my foiling couple of levels up - gratitude guys 😊

Great work guys! Especially the ending about perseverance and why “bad” sessions are necessary in order to progress.

A LEGEND APPEARS

Good tips and a great finish, haha. That spot is a pretty special place, I spent a lot of time there last winter. I’ll be back in late fall. Cheers

The three of you are amazing ambassadors for this sport. Your attitude and teaching are very much appreciated. I check the wind several times a day always looking forward to getting back on the water!

did my first pump up to flight Monday! Stoked!!

Valuable! Cute, as you guys always are! And nice finish 😁

U guys are so great ! Thanks for the tips !

Always great to watch. Could you please always tell your set up like wingsize and foilsize in the upcoming videos? Thanks, Gerrit

Great guys, thank you!

It is wild where winging is heading. I stumbled across a channel called JD 'Followcam' and he is flying his quadcopter around wingers on Maui. There are these kids out there doing really clean back flips, what looks like a combo between a front flip and barrel roll, getting insane altitude and pulling off TWO(!) rotations in the air. Check out 'Epic wing session at Kanaha Beach' it is so amazing, you have to wear a helmet to keep your mind from exploding in all directions. Trust me on this one.

Thank you always for great videos. Could you give advice ? You always record videos in a strong wind but seems very clear sound and I dont see any mic on your shirt. And camera seems very far from you. How you record sound and cancel wind noise so well ?

Excellent tips. Where is the location where you produced this video episode?

Your videos, all of them, are very very useful. Thank you for your clear explanations, thank you very much for the videos. Now i am doing my first flights with the foil up and it seems a super heavy sport. I kitesurf for more than 20 years, and before I windsurf. Could it be the firsts sessions on kite were very tired, but do not remember and I was 20 years younger ... but now in this moments Wingsurf seems to me very close to windsurf in heavy days..... It destroy my forearms. Is it just at the beginning or will it always be like this? So I have a question: this sport in terms of bodywork is heavy as windsurf or more like kitesurf? I can kite two hours in heavy conditions (one hour very well and the second not too well) and anohter question: you can Wingsurf one hour or two without going to the beach to rest as in kitesurf or is more as windsurf were to rest each half hour is needed? Thank you for your time, (and excuse my english).

I windsurf. Probably you guys do too, so you know that in light wind, it's possible to pump yourself up onto a plane, just like you're doing here to get onto foil, but it's preferrable to go out in stronger wind, where you don't need to. So I have some questions: If there's strong, steady wind, do you have to pump with your arms and legs at all? For example, can you use a large wing, trim it into the wind to get you moving at a decent clip, and then ease up onto foil? If so, do you still weight the nose of the board or will the foil just lift you up with minimal weight shifting? And if you're using a large sail, are you then overpowered once you are up on foil? Or do you need the pumping action with your arms to get the wing to lift you, and with your legs to get the foil to create lift? I would think it's not necessary for the wing, since it would be similar to a windsurfing sail, but I'm not so sure about the foil and how it interacts with the water. The reason I ask is because I have a bad knee. Just kneeling will probably be uncomfortable, and going from kneeling to standing will be even tougher. And then pumping looks hard on the knees too.

is there anyone in cocoa doing the jet ski tow thing so you can get used to your foil?

I appreciate your videos. My problem is rounding up wind. I have a hard time getting the board to go downwind. Someone suggested less back foot pressure but I thought you have to lean back a little to get the board up. Tips?

Thanks for the video! Small question. When learning to pump I cannot avoid to upset the board, which in turn reduces my speed. What ia your recommendation foe board trim during pumping? What to aim for? Thanks.

What are your thought on wing size? I see you are doing this video on a size 4 wing with barely any wind... i have a 6.8/5.5/4.5. While the 6.8 does feel more powerful once on foil i feel it's significantly harder to pump than my 5.5. Whats your wing size recommendation for light wind days considering getting up on foil is the main challenge.

Hi Damien, Im a beginner in wing foiling, when there is 18knts of wind i am able to foil and keep foiling steadily. But below 18 knts i have the following problem: Every time i try to pump, the board starts to nose dive, or starts to lift to early, i have a hard time to keep my board flat on the water. Im 75KG and have a VAYU 90L board. Do you have any tips?

I suppose you remember my other questions under other videos. Still not got on foil. Now here, ... so ... with my big 145 lit would you recommend, or not, putting the front foot straps ? Also, where pumping what's the body placement and the hip turn ? When I pump even 2-3 times I need to stop because to far downwind and I would run the board into the wing.

I bought a 5.3, 110 L inflatable board, way above my weight, and yet it is hard to stand on, it’s wobbly. Is there a technique, exercises I should practice to stand up comfortably on it or should I get a bigger board to learn on? Thx!
