So nicely said! I have been foiling for 1, 5 year and seen hundreds of useful videos, but this one is a masterpiece you should watch everyday before you wear your wetsuit! Thank you so much!!!

[cyrillevignon]

by far the best piece of advice i've heard so far. brilliantly put together. I think the exact same message as voice over with slow mo hi res shot of the moves and positions would be even more of a gem. thank you for suming up so nicely all these hard learned lessons. please keep sharing your knowledge

Very well put. I started wingfoiling 3 years ago after watching videos from Ludovic Dulou surfoiling on tidal waves. As he said the foil is a weapon, let it do its thing, just follow. Completely agree, less is more.
Ps: Interested by your video with tricks to take off on a sinker, but did not find it. Thanks!

I've been winging for over 4 years and this video brings it all to one conclusion. Thank you. It's like meditation or yoga. A really refreshing video. Thank you for this. Whenever I have a bad session I will rewatch this vid. Namaste

I love your explanation and how it is simple and well put.
This already pointed me in the right direction.
I will keep trying and apply what I learned from this video and what I know that work.
I’m an old windsurfer with lost of old habits 😅

Thank you !

Been foiling for 2 years and this advise is the best . Tip two foot position has been the biggest thing for me on turning my heel or toe lifted, and it took time to work out why, this almost made me give up as i was falling very close to the foil . I now changed my foot position . Still learning taking step by step, and enjoy every session.

Erudite and insightful commentary. Doing less is a great goal, doing all kinds of crazy machinations to save it is also instructional. Agree that right practice is best .

Great video tutorial. I am slowly finding secondhand gear to get into this sport. Money is my issue, this stuff is so outside my income bracket.
A once ever experience on a foil made me realise how pumping was a lot more than propulsion.
