Don't hate me too much for what I said at the end 🙏🏼🙏🏼 (and don't forget to access and download the Pump Foil Guide to get to know everything about Pump Foiling: mailchi.mp/038c21aca7ac/guide )
Agree with you on the last comment! About the shallow water - I would guess that's what is called the ground effect. Same reason why many birds like to fly close to the ground, it costs them less energy.
Great stuff... I agree on the pumping as training... I'm moving toward wing foiling and knowing how to pump and carve before adding a wing makes it less scary. But pump foiling by itself is a great way to spend an afternoon at the lake. All kinds of weird conversations. My favorite "compliment": "that looks hard".
yeah pump foiling is fascinating to watch and always attract attention ahah. I also recently tried wing foiling for the first time and having a feeling of what is like to be on foil definitely helps!
I agree about the boring part. First minute or two is fun. Then boring. Here is a new challenge for you- what is the smallest foil you can pump for a minute?
Uh I like this one. As soon as I have access to smaller foils I'll try! The problem is more the start with small foils... so maybe the challenge should be "what's the smallest foil I can dockstart" Wait for it 😁
Sure! Don't: - open up your chest, - arch your back, - contract your neck, - leave your belly 'soft' Do: - contract abs - keep your neck aligned with your trunk - lean forward with your shoulders Why? - to better transfer your bodyweight on the foil and gain more speed during the decent - to be more relaxed - to transform your hops in forward momentum - to avoid involuntary muscle contraction
@@gaeldaniele 😂yeah, it’s dope though, i got the pint x and im trying to do more trail riding it’s crazy what you can do on and off road. It’s a challenge to learn and feels like surfing almost or some say snowboarding.

I'm enjoyed watching your progress.

not agree about the wetsuit part , try the o'neill hyperfreak , its game changing the moves you can do with a wetsuit
I have to remember the tight core tip. I can see how that would work. Nice vid.
Great tips! 🤙
YES, huge wings are boring and "ridiculous" 😆 Nice vid as always.
Amazing tips! Would you prefer the 80cm board over the 95? Because I don't now which one is better especially for me as a beginner...
I saw that you had a titanium fuselage, what do you feel about it? Do you recommend it?
Hi! I haven't tried the Aluminium one, but I had an amazing feeling with this one! inserts precise and rock solid
Did you just call the premise of your entire channel BORING??
Haha, I agree, I am entertained by the challenge as well.
😂😂 we always need new challenges
I don’t understand the first tip about flexing your stomach muscles. Can you explain more?
Sure!
Don't:
- open up your chest,
- arch your back,
- contract your neck,
- leave your belly 'soft'
Do:
- contract abs
- keep your neck aligned with your trunk
- lean forward with your shoulders
Why?
- to better transfer your bodyweight on the foil and gain more speed during the decent
- to be more relaxed
- to transform your hops in forward momentum
- to avoid involuntary muscle contraction
I discussed this matter 1 week ago in my weekly newsletter. here's the link: mailchi.mp/be6895cddfe3/stop-doing-this-when-pumping-12694923
You might like the one wheel on land. I just got one and now I’m looking into foil boarding too.
Super cool, I'd love to try it, but if I crash on concrete with that like with the foil on water, it might be a problem 😅
