After 2 years of pumping how to videos, it finally clicked for me, watching the clip of doing it wrong, which looked like my efforts.i now understand the technique, and when I get it right, it’s hard to believe how effective it is. Thank you
thank you so much for you awesome tutorials. yesterday i was able to get on foil in 12 kts with a 5m2 wing and i learned a lot from your videos. keep up the great work ❤
Thanks, good video, but I couldn’t find any videos about wingfoil pump technique in choppy or wavy conditions. I feel like my pumping technique is slowly starting to work in flat water. However, in conditions with waves, it’s much harder. Either the wave comes from the side and disrupts my balance, or it goes under the board and destroys my won height, or it passes me from behind and kills my speed. Are there any techniques for these conditions?
When pumping with your feet, do you alternate front and back feet or do you apply pressure to both at the same time? This is of course when pumping the wing.
Other tips I found helpful. In lighter winds: 1. Bear downwind, 2. Keep the board flat during take off, 3. Continue small Pumps of the Wing until the Foil finds its planning speed at lift off.

Thanks for your great tutorials! Do yout have experience with different thickness of masts. Does a thicker mast cause more drag and reduce speed or do you see no real difference there? Nowhere I could find a sufficient discussion about this. Thanks. Bernhard
Hi Bernhard. I just use the standard fanatic and duotone masts and a several others in the past but haven't experimented with mast widths. I've never had issues with feeling too much drag from any of my foil masts (I only really notice big drag and speed limit changes when using large front wings made for beginners or light wind). If I were into racing or speed records however I bet it would be extremely important. I know when the masts are thinner you get wobble/vibration, and of course a higher chance of snapping the mast with heavier riders or when jumping etc.
Hi Alan. I prefer it for a few a reasons. I use a fairly short wing leash, and the attachment on the handle allows a little movement. Also, if I drop the wing while foiling (perhaps foiling a wave and passing the wing behind my back) then pulling in the leash leads to the handle (without even looking). Also, I've heard you can rip off the little loops made for the wing leash.
@@kitesurfcollege those are pretty good points (maybe not the last one, given the loops are designed for that purpose, while the handles aren't). And to add one more, I imagine it's also easier/faster to attach the leash there than the tiny loop. Interesting. Thanks!

Another best tutorial from you
Thanks very much

Again, another great Tutorial. Thank you for the great Work 🤙
awesome video as usual haha thanks for this tutorial!
Danke!
Amazing content as always! Well done
I remember doing a similar pump when I used to windsurf in light winds. Great tutorial as usual!
Cheers Pete
Great video gracias
Excelente tutorial
Thank you
So when we are pressing our body downward (bending our knees) that is when we are de weighting the board and should be pulling the wing towards us?
@@petercookfoils yes, exactly

air resistance is a square of velocity, not an exponential
What's the deal with attaching the leash to the handle?

The subtitles are exactly right for the board and the feet in every video of yours. very badly done 👎👎👎👎
You can move the subtitles to another part of the screen. In every video. With the mouse...
