Thanks for that James! Some great tips. Especially about choosing the right board. Glad I joined your coaching group! Learning heaps and getting heaps of community support, which is epic! Cheers Andy
Hi James, thanks for the Thursday thoughts! for improving the pumping technique while prone foils or DW foil what was your recommendation on mast rake / shim? More rake (more tail racker) o less rake (flat bottom)? Thanks
Judging criteria interesting topic : In France the French Surfing Federation is working on it. So far it has been decided to keep the same criteria as shortboard (angle of the foil during the turns, tips breaching, etc, those will help judges to make to score). Priority to the rider paddling into the wave vs the rider pumping back out. Two best rides (one ride = one take off and two connections, so one ride = potentially 3 waves ridden).
How about bonus points for longest total time on foil? Most consecutive wave connections? Getting air? Getting air with a 360? Getting air and landing and continuing to ride? Getting air, 360, landing and continuing to ride?
