FORUM : SUP FOIL behind a boat !!!
Pi-Wi tells us about his first flights in SUP Foil behind a boat. Today he is more comfortable and has acquired some good skills, but s soon as he gets closer to the wave of the boat, or when he no longer has tension in the rope, he ends up falling quickly. Here are the tips from L’Ours to solve this problem :
“Hello, Classic, no stress even if falling can cause a lot of pain. The explanation : For the moment you fly in opposition. You orient your Board on a trajectory that separates you from the boat. It’s the rope that keeps you from going further. This creates a balance : you pull by pushing on the heels and the rope holds you back. OKAY. The wave is rising water (I summarize bcp bcp). Keep this picture in mind. When you ride in opposition to your heel supports and you go in the wave, the support from your heels is doubled. So the Board turns under your feet as in your video. Note this point: you have to push on the toes when you want to surf front side. Exactly like surfing. It would be the opposite of the other side of the wake. It will be necessary that you learn to fly without opposition, then to tip on the tips. This will cause “soft rope” since you will clumsily approach the boat. Anticipate it. Ideally you should have a rope that’s twice as short. Pay attention if the engine is outboard. The risk of death is real. It happened this summer on our spot and it’s dramatic. The pilot should not decelerate until you stop after a fall. Once you have mastered this phenomenon, you must understand that a wake is in V. If you want to follow this wake without the tension of the rope, you will have to be permanently diagonal otherwise you will leave the wake. Clearly your nose should aim between the back corner of the boat and the center of the boats platform if any.. Have fun.” SUP Foiler : Pi-Wi and his GONG SUP 8’3 Mob 2Taste FSP et GONG SUPfoil Allvator 65 L.
