PHOTO : WING FOIL !!!

To calm down the game when you have too much power, you have two solutions. The first is to shock by pushing your back hand downwind. But if you still have too much lateral pull, you will have to use your Wing like a kite that is being ridden at the zenith to transform the lateral pull into a vertical lightening. To do this, raise your front hand up straight up so that the Wing comes to lie flat on top of you like an umbrella. Once this angle is obtained, put both hands above your head, always keeping the front hand higher than the back hand. Most of the force of your Wing, which you can always shock, will be applied vertically, taking you from upwind recall to a decent sustenance. This lift is useful for slowing down, but it will also shift your balance from a triangle in the upwind direction to a straight line in the upwind direction. The straight line is naturally easier to start a move for example because your body and the Foil are aligned under the Wing’s lift.
