    love everything about this video - it;s important to address every small step vs. just how to foot swap etc. I've been kiting a good while but this foil thing is starting over like from scratch so I NEED to hear and see all the steps. think I'll watch this a few more times to drill it all in - would hire you for a lesson in a heart beat! Great clear communication...Kudos!

    The best learning video yet that I have seen. Thanks and yes my ankle is killing me from it getting caught in strap. I’m going to try 2 straps as per your advice. Seems like most recommend one in front, but I like the control feel at least initially with 2

    To avoid breakage of the feet and ankles in a fall, make the straps as big/wide as possible. The legs will not get stuck in the straps and will easily pop out of the strap. So the stepping over will be easier to learn and the transition to strapless will be faster.

    • @ewatersports
      @ewatersports  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Agreed, you need to be able to get the feet out easily.

    Great video. I’m past this stage, but still picked up some good tips. Two things that you could add. Not all foils will fall down properly when you crash. Actually most of the systems I’ve ridden the board will stay on its side and actually travel upwind on you. Very disconcerting. In low wind conditions, I don’t have enough wind to body drag upwind and have come close to losing the board. The big floaty wings and carbon masts just don’t have the weight to put the fuse down where it belongs. The other thing is strap placement. Early on, I was watching a lot of TH-cam for foiling instruction. On one just riding video I saw where they’d placed the strap horizontally across the board. I tried it and now won’t ride anything else (until I learn completely strapless). The really good part about this is that you only use the strap to stabilize the board in the water. As a beginner I left my one foot in it to ride and it’s super easy to come out on a crash. Now I put it as far forward as possible, then as I dive the kite I pull it back a few inches and I’m up and riding without any straps to get in the way. I think it’s best of both worlds strapped vs strapless and a great learning tool.
    Love the Stroke!!!

      Awesome help to the community. We sell the half hooks and this has made it work the same for boars with out the V configuration. In the end. We want to have as much control over the board as possible when being a beginner. Straps forward and foil back. Not much you can do about the big floaty wings.

      @@ewatersportsyeah, I started with the hooks initially, but they hurt the top of my feet. Tried several brands, but just not enough padding. Anything that helps the beginner get going is a good thing. Thanks.

      very true that some of what is taught would not be as easy in rough water and gusty conditions. Most here forget how nice St Petersburg is.
