This is a fantastic breakdown of the steps for a water start clearly identified, they are a tremendous help. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

Thank you. I've been struggling as a beginner and I am pretty sure that you just cleared up my issue (board position - not pointed downwind enough). Well done video. Thanks for the work.

Happy to help. When does this usually happen? You should make sure the footstraps are set tothe right size. Your feet should be able to go all the way in easily. Then when you put your board on in the water - wiggle your feet and push them up, while pushing down on the handle.
