Btw it‘s more fun if you do it together with friends. Especially the first attempts on the dock are worth to be shared 😆🤘

Great video! Knew nothing about the concept of foil pumping until 5 min ago. Now it’s on my to-do list already.
Thanks!

Gutes video. Sehr gut erklärt. Ich glaube auch, dass man wirklich keine besondere Skills fürs Pumpen braucht, was ich noch vor kurzem so nicht gedacht habe.

Ich glaube ein wichtiger Tip wäre es, wie man auf das Board springt. Das ist mMn entscheidend beim Ganzen. Und dass kann man nur den Leuten erklären, die schon über dünnen Eis gelaufen sind 🙂

Beim Springen aufs Board sollte man so springen, wie auf das erwähnt dünne Eis. Also federleicht mit einem Push nach vorne. Dann geht alles easy. Dass kann man sogar am Boden trainieren. Man muss sich nur eine dünne Eisscholle dabei vorstellen.

Man muss sogar nicht schnellen Anlauf machen. Schritttempo reicht vollkommen aus. (natürlich dem Foil entsprechend)

Auch die Dockhöhe macht bei den ersten Versuchen viel aus. MMn sollte der Dock so ung. 10-15 cm unter dem Board sein. Wenn es höher ist, dann kann man schwieriger gewichtslos auf das Board springen.

Viel erfolg an Alle! 🙂

Geiler See, geiler Clip, geil erklärt! Chapeau!

All Great tips - The best make it look 'easy'. I am hoping Pumping, Prone Foil will become there own competitive disiplines. Pump Racing could be held year round in 50 m pools.

Thank you, that is the best video about foil pumping I have ever seen about.

...extremely efficient video...thank you very much for your effort...
...what you are doing when you find yourself in the middle of lake falling...that's why I think that kind of foiling attraction is very limited...SUP FOILING with paddle where you can stop and take a break in the middle of lake is more appealing to me...then you do again...
...stay safe all the best...from Chicago...

Just stumbled over this video looking for pump-foiling basics.
Very pleasantly surprised when you started like 1km from my home at the kajak club down at the wholensee in berne.
🤩 Looks like there's not many excuses left now NOT TO

[marcoremia]

Great!! You made something complicated simple

[gerardd]

Excellent, now i can go to Italia from Corsica without boat. I like it.

[Beardlovesdog]

Nice calm instruction. I have no doubt almost anyone could follow your steps and do it.

Nice Video - it would be great if you could also link a full board with a few options depending on weight etc.

You did an excellent JOB. By far the easiest foils to dock start are the sabfoil 1350 and the 1150. Especially on a lake with no current or wind. Any person trying to learn MUST watch your video. It’s the easiest explanation out there. The only other thing I would ad is HOW HIGH THE DOCK SHOULD BE FROM THE WATER. And find the sweet spot of not jumping too high or bending over too low when doing the run up.

I started here in Switzerland, watched videos from all over the world and asked myself "are you kidding me"? Seems in the US or UK or GER it's totally standard to start with a proper ramp to avoid all the struggles with dock starting and use ropes in a water park or boats (or even indoor pools!) to learn gliding. I stopped now, ordered a couple of helpers from the US and wait. I give you an update as soon as the stuff is here but the "brute-force"-method jumping on a board seems to me like walking barefoot on Mt Everest 😁. The worst part so far is that after at least 5 maybe even 10 hours practice I still fall into the water like a stone after max 5 m and the guys around me say "wow, you learn fast" 😅.

Un grande grazie da un italiano!grazie!

Really nice video.

- I don't really understand why you would want to set a max foil size for beginners : I learnt on 2500 for 97kg and it was easier than 2100 for the beginning.

- I don't understand why you advise beginners to jump : in my experience, they learn faster and get consistent really quickly if you teach them not to jump and keep the front hand pushing at all time until the 2 feet are settled. I make the beginners make 2-5 launches with the instruction to keep the front hand in place and just trey to glide with the front hand on the board. It teaches them not to fear the weird position and it has the advantage to avoid falling back toward the dock and prevent falling in the foil for the firsts launches.

Question: What happens if you fall out in open water or in the middle of the lake? Is there any way to get back up or do you have to swim (or get picked up) in order to get back to the shore?

Hey, Ben. Top Video. Passt für mich super, da ich gerade anfangen möchte. Könntest du möglicherweise ein ähnliches Video über das Wingfoiling machen? Insbesondere die Materialvorschläge in diesem Video sind genial und sehr gut inszeniert.

That’s really fun..thanks for sharing bro

[santiagoXIX]

great video. Thanks. I got my mind into hydrofoil. Not sure if I will make one and have a try ... but I would love it.
