Thanks for pushing the Sport! I hope I see this video in 10 years again and think: damn look at those tiny little tricks they were doing back then

Thank you, It's exciting to document a sport still in its early stages, and I look forward to seeing where it goes.

Great ambassador community. Maybe I really should switch my gear😢

How long would it take a 63 years old man with experiences of windsurfing, kitesurfing, and wingsurfing to learn to pump efficiently for 30 seconds? Or it is not realistic to learn at this age?

[@martinminar1949]

With the right equipment 3-5 sessions. About 100-150 starts. If you have good equipment even faster. It’s not that hard!!! I managed 1 min 40 seconds on terrible foil (small) in 5 sessions and I’m 50.

From my talks with many foilers, the average is between 150-300 dock starts; I'm sure your kite and windsurfing background will help you, although you need to get used to the foil.

@@boardtales Wow! I have almost 3000 attempts and get 8 seconds the most. I'm about 1. 65 meter tall and weigh 63 kg. I have Axis 1150 PNG and 460 V2 as my set up. I tried Axis 1300 PNG but I don't have enough weight to control the front foot. I think my pumping skill is not good without helps from a kite or a wing.

Try foiling behind a boat, a bungee or an electric winch. Have seen people pump a foil within a session with one of these!
