Hi, Ill be in Nosara Dec 19-Jan 4 and would love to get a foil lesson and/or rent. Avid surfer looking to get into foiling.

Hi awesome! You believe it's possibile also with a Reptile High 2000, 1050×245, area 2000 cm?

What is paddle length relative to your height?

Good to find you a few years later. I’ll be on my 8’8” 26” so I have to be very subtle with that back knee.

What's the secret to paddling on one side and making the board go straight?

Paddle length? Head high or what's best please?

Great video and explanations. I loved it!

Amazing tips 👌

What beach is this?

Thanks for this video! I also found these instructions: Firstly you must position your front foot on the rail ahead of the pad, and your back foot as far back as possible on the opposing rail, all your weight should be on your front leg and both feet must face forward, especially the back foot. All your weight should be on the front foot. this is key, a bit like a fencing position: rear foot far back, but all your weight on the front foot. Lean your torso forward, the goal is to play with your balance by raising and lowering your torso without standing up straight. When you stand up straight you put weight on your back leg and will stall and sink the board this is why you must stay in a forward leaning position at all times. Having a very short stiff paddle (your height or shorter) is of the essence. - It seems contradictory to what you show us here. Do you want to put the weight on our front foot (like in the instructions) and then lift with the front foot (like you mention)? Cheers!

Yes. What size is that board?

great video. I'm a winger without any other surf background getting ready to try this. I understand you step back a little as you're getting up on foil, Is the reason you're initially further forward that you want the board to reach the speed of the wave before you take off so that you'll stay on foil?

killing it!

Great breakdown

BEST video on this! Thanks!

I've been wing foiling with a 1500 square centimeter foil and I'm having a hard time picturing it doing what this guy's doing in the video on waves. But, what is that worth, nothing probably! Thanks for the video

Thank you. Well done

What board size and foil in this video?

What´s this setup?

Chase this is some great instruction. Thank you!. One way you might want to consider putting it is that the board stays parallel to the water so when you're over the face of that wave you have got to bring the nose down but it seems to me, a rookie, but it seems that the board stays parallel to the water unless you're climbing for foil flight.

So I have a Armstrong 2400cf foil set up. and an 8 foot hypernut foil board. Im 185lbs SUP surfing east coast USA mush for the last decade. Do you think SUP foiling an Armstrong 6’6” SUP foil board would be a better board to learn SUP foiling on? THX for the incredibly helpful vid

I'm selling short mast superiority when the bottom is close and you don't have an alternative. Embrace the the short mast. Like you said, precision.... The short mast will teach you precision. If you have the perfect foil wave disregard my comment.. If you live next to a almost always shallow reef and don't feel like driving all over hell and back, get a short mast and commit to it. Practice makes perfect is what I heard. Put on a 45cm mast because you live next to a shallow reef and Practice! My friend is maybe going to be the first person to link waves on a 45cm mast!!!! Stay tuned, this foil discipline, sport, is just getting started.

Very good detailed instruction for me trying to learn slowly and safely.

Best video on this subject by far!! Thanks !!

This is so useful, Chase! Thanks so much!

Looks to me that at 16;35 neither foot is on the center line of the board. Earlier in the video you said how important this is so please explain, thanks.

Excellent Video! Thank you for sharing

It would be nice if you explained what size foils you are using and board so we have an idea of what we may need to get going. Especially for those of us who can't demo gear before we buy. Thanks

Probably the best video I’ve come across. Very few other videos talk about or demo the take off.

Thanks for the great foil tutorials! Was wondering if it is better to learn on a high aspect foil wing or low aspect for foil sup.

Great video...What foil are you using? A round 1500cm2?

Found the stop start nature, and cursor moving around and dialogue not very watchable. clicked esc. sure you have some good points, but not a good watch for me.

I think I will book it in December

What size wing are you on and fuselage length - thanks for the thoughtful approach to your video!

Great video! what's the wing/board specs you using?

Looks awesome. I'll be in touch soon about a possible visit after the lock down🤙

Very comprehensive instruction. Absolutely gold thank you guys

very impressive on such small bumps! I wonder how fit do you have to be to connect to the next set with pumping up only? Is this very tiring or normal practice?

That looks so awesome!!@

Great instructions lots of good tips

Excellent Chase- great tips.

Great tips -- I've been having trouble with the nose of my board diving under the water - especially if there is some chop because I'm trying to be forward on the board -- as I've found that does help catch the unbroken waves... but to get the 'bounce' I've seen in videos showing catching swell bump for downwinding - I was rocking onto the backfoot, then weighting the front as the paddle comes up out of the water to be set again in front of the nose. By 'driving with the back foot' - it seems like your weight is more or less always over the back foot - the front foot is lightly weighted when throwing the paddle, then basically lifting up as the stroke happens to unweight the foil /weight the back foot. but because the back foot is a little forward, it's not causing the board to fall out the back of the wave /let the wave roll under you? --that's what was happening to me if I tried previously to not weight the front foot - seemed like the wave would just pass under and not engage the board/foil at all... so I've been maybe 40% catching unbroken wave 60% digging the nose in and failing... any feedback? (other than get a different board ha ha) -- I'm on Kalama Performance 5'6" -- I'm guessing it's more me and not the equipment... I've been flying gofoil IWA with Kai back wing
