The title of the video should be preparing for launch in shore break. But I think somebody who is already in a foiling level to even try launching in this shorebreak will not need this video, sorry.
After 5 years of wing foiling I discovered this technique by accident just recently. It can be used by any level and it all depends on skill level. In addition, no two shorebreaks are the same. There's not one technique fits all for every situation. It's just another tip. I've found that pulling the board is less risk than pushing in some situations. This was back in the beginning and it still works.
@@aquaman1it’s definitely a good tip for me as an absolute novice. Lake Ontario is pretty cold, good on you for getting out there. I drive the hour to Lake Erie to flail and fail, at least it’s warmer and Long Beach has a very nice shallow entry 😉
Look for a break in the waves and quickly get in there. Once its a bit more mellow you sit on your board and ride out further behind the break. Sometimes break is just too big and you cannot get out there. Ive had days in Scheveningen where you just could not get out (unless you walked out along the harbour head where the waves were way smaller).
It's a good question. Depends on the break and your skill level. I advise beginners to paddle out past the last break, then paddle even further to give yourself a buffer. If the break is too big to paddle out, you need to find the area that's deep enough so you can quickly jump on and go. Part way through this video, I'm at the same beach. Shows how I swim through the deeper water holding the board and wing, ready to jump on and go. ruclips.net/video/tneWf3xzfuM/видео.htmlsi=o8p9f8jE9LCfdxsI
