Hi everyone !
I am trying hard to learn to go up on my Foil on my 5"9 110L Takuma ZK mini Sup and my Maliko 280.
I looked at a lot of videos of people doing this easily. Do you guys have any advices ? Like where is it better to put the mast ? I use a front foot strap to train too but don't think this is in the end necessary.
Any tip is welcome !
Thanks !
What are you doing Filow? Surfing, downwind, towing, wake surfing. Or just a plain flatwater start. Good luck with the flatwater.
But doable with paddle power & technique. I think you would have to pump & paddle like you are starting to go up hill. That gets the foil pointing up. Then when on top of the hill pump & paddle hard going forward. But that is only my guess. I'm only a beginner. 1 year experience twice a week.
You could try a wedge if you have one. If not try some stainless steel washers under the tail end bolts or a piece of plastic cutting board & maybe some washers on that if needed. I think this will help in the early stages.
I am trying with just a Paddle with my SUP son flat water ! I love the challenge of this and I am looking for precious advices :-)
Paddle & pump hard! I am feeling exhausted just thinking about it.
Good luck.
If you're fit & determined it will come to you.
