Absolutely incredible video tutorial. Bravo! I never thought I’d be looking forward to calm weather 😂
Many thanks for unlocking new possibilities -Stuart

So good. One of your best videos. Well done and thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you! 🙏
Lots of info here, thanks guys! Definitely will start working on it once I get my larger wing in!
So worth it! Will be back soon to do it with you! 😁
Fantastic tutorial guys! Broken down into multiple steps to practice. And the way Gwen says "board" will never not be amazing 🤙
Glad we can help! 🤓
This is a God-send tutorial ♡
Gwen is a legend and agreed 1000%.
Great great tips Gwen! will definitely be trying this soon!
Worth the struggles! Follow the steps, you will become a beachstart freak in no time! 😜
Excellent video!!!!!!
Salut Gwen!
J'ai appris le beachstart ce printemps, un an après mes debut en surf foil. En fait à la première session j'ai réussi à mettre le pied arrière sur la planche. Et ma première réussite s'est faite à la 4e session . C'était assez rapide finalement.
J'adore ça. Quand les conditions sont bonnes, je réussi 4 fois sur 5.
J'ai 41 ans, mais je pense que le skimboard m'a aidé dans la montée pued arrière/ pied avant.
Je vis en Corse. Quel plaisir de partir du bord et aller tourner sur une petite onde qui arrive, puis rentrer au bord en se laissant porter. Next step: making turns in the wave.
Extermly clear instructions ! thank you. I going to practice that :p
Really great work on this one. I've failed to learn to beach start several times - watching the video I can immediately tell that my running technique was totally wrong. The hop run and explanation looks like exactly what I need to make some progress! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Glad we can help! 🙏🙌
great guide, wish i could buy one
Good tips, thanks!
Thanks Gwen. I was starting to get some beach starts by watching your videos and help from some others on the Dockstart group. Gonna go through the steps in this video to ensure I progress in the best and safest way. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. This is gonna help so many of us learn this tough skill while avoiding injury as much as possible. As you said in the video, learning this skill the right way will make it easier to progress to smaller foils, and use locations with different terrain and condtions.
Thanks for the kind words, glad we can help! 🙏🙌
You are so welcome. Did a session following all your steps this morning. Already feeling more confident practicing without fear of injury.
Gave myself a nasty cut last week practicing in a different way. Really believe this video is gonna unlock this skill for many, and more importantly keep people from hurting themselves. So big props to you!!
Top , je vais appliquer à la lettre tes conseils 👍😉
Tiens nous au courant de tes progrès! 🙏🙌
Thank you so much. I got my first beach start with your help. It's so fun with a lot of possibilities. So tkank you 👍👍👍. If you have enough sticker i will be very happy to have one 😉. Thk u one more time
Nice work!!! 👏👏👏
Send us a message through our shop with your address and we will get your sticker on its way 🙏🙌: wingfoilprocenter.com
Thank you, Gwen! Challenge accepted 😀
Yeah! 👊🤩
Bravo 🎉🎉
Great! Everything is prepared… only the lake is frozen 😂. Have to wait until April at least.
Great explanation Gwen!! C'est génial ! Merci ! I did assume that we would see Damien doing it at the end! As a proof of the concept :)
I was able to do it! Check it out thanks to Gwen, it really works! instagram.com/p/CuzICYxg3mZ/?hl=en
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam That's great to hear! I can't see it when clicking on the link though, probably because I don't have an Instagram account..
@@explorewithsvzwerfcat Thanks to Gwen its possible! You got this too.
Hey Gwen - I feel like I'm making good progress with this thanks to your video. I have the hops dialled and can get the back foot drill pretty well. I am finding that I tend to spin off to the side I launch from. Do you have any advice about where to position your hands on the board during the running phase in relation to the sides of the board
Looks like i’m gonna need to book another trip to the beach to work on this!
Worth it! 👊😁
Thanks
Great tutorial, for how long is it realistic to pump, 1 minute, 5 or more?
IMO the best beach start how to video there is. Thank you very much for all the hard work making this fantastic video. I’m certain this is the best video with every detail and nothing left out. Gwen, you are an incredible athlete - good for you!
One question. Have any 67 year old or older men been able to do a beach start well?
Thank you Gwen is incredible!
We would add, you can be the first! You got this! Not sure on our end...
Quand la mer est plate, ma course est presque parallèle à la plage. Mais on a souvent une bonne marche qui fait un décroché, je trouve cela assez pratique.
Excellent instruction and tips, thank you! One tip that I found extremely helpful for many reasons is to keep your chest centered above the board as you get on it and start riding. I feel like that’s also a key position anytime you get on foil to keep your balance and is a tip I will definitely share.
You mentioned bruises on your knees as you learn, but you didn’t talk about your feet hitting the foil or tail. I imagine it only takes once, but do any of your students struggle with kicking any part of the foil while learning?
If you follow the instruction on the hop technique demonstrated, your feet should always be clear of the foil, as the front wing is quite forward of your feet
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam thank you! 🙌 That hop is gold! You guys are writing the book on how these foil techniques get taught.
Thank you Gwen for this tutorial. It is very helpful. I just tried last weekend to do a beach start for the first time, but I was lost about how to do it. Now it seems to be doable also for me 🙂 I'm only not sure if my 1950 cm2 foil is big enough for my 88 kg for the beginning? I can already start 10/10 dockstarts from different docs with my 1950 foil. What do you think?
1950 will work for sure, follow the steps, you will get it!
Super informative video, many thanks. Question: I own a 2023 4’3” Logic with a 650 H series foil,l and 95 cm mast, obviously not a good setup for pump foiling. I have the chance to buy a second hand X series 1650 foil with a 80 cm carbon mast. Would this setup work to learn and progress in pump foiling, or should I look for a more dedicated combo? Thank you
The 1650 X series with 80 cm mast would be a decent combo so if it's a good deal you should go for it!
What do you think about a cabrinha special agent as a starter board for pump foiling/ swell riding… my only concern is the float ability, will it be pretty much sinking if i bail? And impossible to get back up in the water.
The Cabrinha Special Agent is great, it doesn't sink, but it won't float you when swimming back. When I use and fall out there, I swim next to it and get back to shore: th-cam.com/video/UAfZJ8MHsi4/w-d-xo.html

Very nice breakdown. Would love to try this. How much do the kits cost ?
Check out wingfoilprocenter.com we will help you get the right setup to get started!
would you recommend 60 or 68 cm mast for beach start?
cus axis only has this two length
60cm will be easier to learn for sure
Great tutorial! I am not sure if I missed it or not, but I'm scared of kicking my feet into the foils while running.. is there some tips for this?
Practice the hop technique we show in the video, the foil is quite ahead of your feet so no contact with the foil with this technique
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam awsome. Excited about this hopping technique
@@powis-tv8ln I had the same fears but had no troubles following Gwen's technique.
Damien thank'you for the show .
But To running near the foil not easy
J try in the beatch start boat
Merci damien
You can do it, was a challenge at first but practice makes perfect! It gets easier....
it will be funny and interesting a video of you beach starting in a smaller foil like 1300cm² (or something usual for wing foil) 😁
In this video Gwen is beachstarting on a 630cm2: instagram.com/reel/Cxakn2yLBGc/?igsh=ODYzMTVocmk3NTlz

thank you so much 🙏
🤙🤙🤙
Can you start like this being a beginner???
Knowing how to foil is definitely recommended I would say
Do you ever accidentally kick/ trip on the front foil?
If you follow the hop technique described in this video, your feet should be clear, but in the learning process when you do it wrong it can happen for sure
what the size of the mast?
In this video, we used a 65cm Cabrinha mast and a 73cm SabFoil mast
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam a 85cm mast is a terrible option to train beachstart? I dont have another option yet
85 is quite a bit harder for sure, but doable
finally some proper beach start tutorial on youtube 🎉
just finish 1min pump milestone, this can be next milestone for it 🫡🫡
thanks a lot
You got this! 👊😁
@@DamienLeroyTH-cam give me a month, will come back and tell you the result
