This is helpful. Thanks. I will try today to push down on backfoot to climb. I pump a few good pumps without knowing how it works. It is good to know what the steps are. However, things happen so quickly, it seems like thinking is not an option. Cheers.
@@bctt6376 Thanks! you’re right, thinking is not an option while pumping 😅 before and after is better 😉 When you push on your back foot, this is like you take support on your foot then toes as if you wanting to jump. Your whole body gets up: head, shoulders, chest even the heel of your back foot to be as light as possible letting the board under you to go up.
Good explaination, but if for beginners: please use a beginners foil and explain as low aspect foils pump differently than high aspect foils. Good recommendation for beginner setup would also be helpful (Gong, Hydrofoil, Leviathan 1350,...)
@@MrJaennae Thank you for your message. I used the Gong X-Over XXL 100cm at the beginning. I was very satisfied with it, so I recommend it.

Hi Ludovic, thanks for the video. Can't wait to put it in practice. I pre-ordered a Klubber 95, currenlty waiting for delivery now. I have only a Gong X-Over XL 1600 cm2 and a Curve XL 1400. Do you think these will be enough for me to start learning pumpfoil? I am 87 kg. I know they are a bit small but just to start learning before moving to something higher aspect like the Curve H. Thanks.
@@vladfane Hi! Thank you :) Of course it will be a bit more challenging than a XXL but I think this will do the job fine for the gliding exercises, the first pumps and having a good feeling on how it works, especially with the X-Over XL. As you wrote, this is “just” to start learning. Then a Curve H like the xxl 115cm is a good choice 👍 Give a try and let me know, your feedback will be interesting 😉
@@bctt6376 Hi! Yes, my setup has 0 deg, it works fine. I have no experience so far with another inclination. Gong is selling a fuselage with 1 deg inclination. The purpose is to use a smaller stab without losing in lift. This is fine tuning, at least at the beginning this is not relevant.
@@Ludo_freefoiler Mine had 3 degrees facing down, so it seemed like it was sinking into the water quickly. I fixed it a little. But I will try to make it to 0.
Instead of that try to lower your body when the foil is climbing (flex your legs) and to rise up when the foil is getting speed. Ok for being at rest during transition phases. transition phases are useless excepted for rest and should be minimised as far. Nice try. Thank you.
@@bctt6376 yes, if you post your videos on instagram for instance I can have a look and comment them 😉 Here you find me: instagram.com/ludovicfreefoiler?igsh=a21lMmJlYXN3MTM2&
Excellent! 👍
You are a good instructor

Hi Ludo. Is the bottom of the front wing supposed to be 0 Degrees parallel to the bottom of the board where the mast is connected for pumping?
