I took a SUP foil clinic with Jeremy Riggs and quickly realized the only way I'll ever be doing anything with a foil is with a wing or kite in my hands... but this has been wildly entertaining, brother! Thank you... and good luck!
Since your a good kiter, I’ve always wondered if you just go out with your peak, put it to 12, then learn to pump with the kite, it might be an easier transition to dock starting.
I can pump for a long time that way but the only way to really get rid of the kite is to pump directly upwind and then you have the wind and the waves working against you so it's crazy hard. So basically it's because the kite is always pulling and that either makes it too easy or too hard.
I can also pump for quite a while off the wake when behind a boat, it's a whole different thing when you only get 0.5 sec to get your feet and body weight in the correct position though.
With you in spirit Angus.. I’m keenly following. Keep at it!
