Winging it session 32 

Great to see you getting on foil now! To be honest the struggles you have had are just down to equipment only to this point. Ok but a few more things here. 1. You are stalling the foil so let the board speed increase before coming out of the water. This is why you board goes up and then falls down, you need more speed before lift off. 2. You shorter length board is a bit of a problem in the swell. 3. I can't tell but it looks like your mast is 60cm? If it is you should be on a 75CM mast because your foil is breaching like at 9:33 you can see your foil tip breaches the water and you fall. You can see this breaching on almost all of your falls and you can tell if you look at the foil and spray coming from the foil just before you fall. In this case you don't have enough ride height to stay above the wave/swell and your boards nose is crashing into to the wave. Also its harder to keep the foil underwater in swell with a shorter mast and this will prevent you from having longer rides on foil and progressing. Good luck, love the videos!

The progress is real! Your pumping is getting better, but you stop as soon as the board starts lifting. Then you stall and fall. One or two more (big) pumps more to gain more speed. And I guess try to lean a bit more on the front leg to keep the nose down. No need for shimming anything. Especially at this stage.

Your progress is evident. Maybe a longer boards is better for more Stability.

when you get fast enough take the wing up to add less power. once you are on foil you need less power.
