    Hi. Thanks for this video it was so interesting. I've enjoyed all of Gunnar's kite and wing foiling videos as I was learning foiling over the last few years, studying and learning from his techniques and reviews (thank you). And then for quite a while those types of videos stopped and given what was mentioned, now I understand why. So, if Gunnar reads this or you speak with him please pass on the best wishes and say - Never stop doing it standing up! Keep pushing and developing. Regards.

    Great interview! But many good questions to help understand how to cross train for pump-foiling were not asked. Also, this is the most technical guy i have seen and finally one person who always measures his heart rate and surely knows his VO2 max and relationship between vo2 max , endurance and how long can one pump. But you guys did not ask him about those things either. Would be awesome to bring him back and ask questions about what and how one need to cross train to improve pumping time and distance. How to pump with lower heart rate. (He said he pumps in 140-150 range! ) how to achieve that? Does he have his own RUclips, where we can ask? Or can you bring him back for a more technical discussion on his technique etc? Thank you guys. It was still a great interview! My mind is blown by him.

      Hi Dmitry, good questions. As I mentioned in the podcast, my background is Inline-Speedskating that I have done many years competitive. That means that I do a lot of endurance training (cycling, jogging, crosscountry skiing, Ice-Skating, kayaking, sup etc.) but also specific and non specific technique training. Non specific means balance training (Slackline, Surfskating on the pumptrack etc.). You see, I never focused only in one sport, I wanted to have fun in other sports too, so it`s never boring. That my HR is around 140-150 of 190max (only without wetsuit) after 1 year of pumpfoiling, is the fact, that I have this endurance background. More and more other pumpers will grow up without my background and will be able to pump long disctances too, because pumpfoiling itself is a great training too, to increase VO2 max. As I mentioned in Gael`s youtube interview last year, my heart rate or my load is more or less equal (without wetsuit) as I if I would go roadcycling with 200 watts or 32km/h, or jogging with 4:30/km. But this is not for everybody the same, because pumping technique is very, very important too, to pump with less energy as possible. To improve the technique there are many good clips on yt and instagram (gael, ludovic, gwen etc.), and very important is to go on the water very often, so you will have this better feeling how much and when to make the push (feel the water). Feel free to ask me for deeper questions.

    I have the same board and I had the same experience as you with the difference that I tried the paddle il on flat water…exhausting! Well done 💪 Anyhow the Indiana downwind 7’6 is a masterpiece in my opinion..one of the best board I ever had. Good luck with the pumping race @Boot 🤙

    Oh man, ich fühl so mit dir Matt. Ich hab im Sommer schon regelmäßig Flatwater Pop ups geschafft, aber bei Kabbel ist alles so viel schwieriger. Allein auf dem Board bleiben, auch Kniend ist ne Herausforderung. Hatte eine Handvoll Versuche mit Kabbel bis 50cm Welle. Bin genau einmal 8Meter gefoilt, definitiv ein langer Weg das Downwinden. Ich bleib dran. Bin gespannt wanns richtig läuft bei dir. Gruß Fabian

      Yeah, the problem is that is is forbidden to use FD in Switzerland... Plus... wouldn't you want to be independent? ah, and it is super expensive..! Do you have one though? Do you use it regularly?

      With the paddle? I try to stay in the front of me with the strokes and jump up to make the foil rise… but honestly, it‘s more just trying not to fall…

    Thanks Matt, I'm in the same stage so really nice to see others working hard through the same issues! Just ordered a kind of parawing for a little short cut;) but paddle up still is the gold standard...

    Great video and progress! Thank you for sharing. I think your title should be can an average foiler learn to downwind in marginal conditions because I think if you spent a few days in ideal conditions such as Hood River you would get it for sure. looking forward to your parawing video

    cool video, but first mistake dont was the footstraps, was to get the board too narrow, unestable and low flotability. . this video show exact what everybody will get and never will want to do another thing, only donwiwnd supfoil....... great!!!!

      Sure! Do you have any tips? I went out with @jonashiller-u9h and he gave me some tips as well. Leaning on the paddle and paddling in the front.

    • @rmoisio
      @rmoisio 26 дней назад

      @@mattonfoil Maybe the video angle is not great to see what you are doing with your paddle but it looks like a) the paddle does not go far enough, b) you are using your arms instead of the core, and c) you are not falling into your paddle . To save your shoulders try to engage the core and lean into the paddle. scoop far further past teh nose. you may turn your shoulders to get the paddle further out. the reason is also because the paddle power zone is not towards your feet but in the front. a friend scoops towards the nose, using very little energy, getting the board moving with little energy.
