Learning the flat water paddle up on to the foil. VLOG #48 BIG PROGRESS!!

11 weeks after the start of the this journey I have made some big improvements. Some really good training on technique led to a big leap in speed and control at week 8 and then nature came knocking with another round of COVID and a Hurricane called Beryl. Self destruction in the way of taking the end of my big toe off also made for an enforced break in training. So having managed to get a good progression and a really clean foil rise Ive had to go back slightly due to the 3 week break in training.
Still full of enthusiasm and anticipation that im so very close to the holy grail.

I recently got the pop up. I found that I was standing to far forward and needed to get to back half of the pad. Also experiment with the placement of the foil just keep the mast under your back foot. Also I’m sure you’re going to get it soon. And when you do the paddle pump cadence is the exact same as when you go to pop up.

@@okboomer2682 thank you. I’ve got on the foil every single time now but I’m now struggling to actually get off the water fully. I can travel 40m and around 25 paddle strokes bouncing on the surface with the foil working under me but I can’t lift off and start to truly pump the foil. I lose my balance mostly. I’ve found the paddle length, foot position and foil position to get this every time. Moving the foil forward just makes it stall and kicks me off. I’ve tried moving back foot back ( again stalls the foil) and trying less bounce but I’ve been stuck here for 3 weeks. I feel I need an another 2 knots of speed to really get the foil flying but trying to get that speed throws me off. Very frustrating

Looks promising! Gong advises to place the mast at the back third for paddle ups. This is to prevent the foil from lifting to early which causes it to stall. I've put mine at "slot" no 5. Front foot in between the inserts of the front footstrap, back foot just in front of the insert of the back footstrap. Foot placement really matters. Depending on mast placement and board of course. Keep it up!

@@basvv My board was one of the first so it didn’t have the V foot straps so I had to glass some in. They are not in the position that a newer one is. I’m experimenting with mast position. And I do feel a stall condition regularly so I am moving it back more each session

@@clowngrowl2671 I’m on the Sirus 5XL. It was biggest available at the time and since I’ve heard the Curves are really good. Lots of success stories and I think it’s maybe slightly easier to learn on. I use the Apple Watch with the “Waterspeed” app. It’s pretty good for measuring your progress. What board are you going to use?

@@clowngrowl2671 well you m not there yet but from my progress recently it’s actually the basics. Forward plant of the paddle, efficient stroke, lean forward, don’t try to bounce too hard too early. Work the legs and get fitter. Get a GPS and see speeds with different stages. Also, get some film. It really helps to see what’s right and wrong
