Looks so smooth, great riding 👍 got me interested in trying these footswaps and strapless jumps. When jumping, it looks like you keep more weight on the back leg and dont pull too much on the wing to avoid a too high jump, right?
Yeah, when doing strapless foil jump, you need to land with 90% of weight on the back leg and keep the pressure there for a few seconds until you feel the lift. When jumping into the wind, you can go higher as the wind helps to keep the board "stick" to your feet, when going downwind - can't jump as high.
Thanks! All it takes is repetition. Foil size is really weight and skill dependant, In this video it's f-one eagle 990 with xxxs fuse and 210DW tail, but after covid I've lost like 4kg, now it feels way too big even in marginal winds.
Nice work, will definitely try that. I also like your filming stick, nice perspective with the horizon stabilisation. How long approximately is the stick?

Great video, thanks for sharing. Still working on normal foot switches. Interested to know which foil and size you're using?

It’s probably 80cm sticking out of the trailing edge.
Did you ever try the sk8 ? compare to the eagle ?
No, the only f-one I've tried is eagle, not like we have any demos here in SA.
What foil are you riding mostly these days? looks like cabrina?
eagle 990 at the moment on a project cedrus classic mast, but the only constant thing with foil wings is change :).
