Thank you so much. The best video i've ever Seen for Pump foil 💪👍

Hi. Thanks for making this awesome video. As I've been improving at winging I've learned how valuable pumping is in so many situations, which then helps you enjoy more and maximise the magic moments for longer. After seeing this I'm going to now focus more on pumping and see if I can make it better. Have a great day and many thanks! Regards.

Hey Damien. I really enjoy your tutorials!I’ve been watching this one yesterday night and been out in the morning to check. So good!Especially the lifting of the backfoot. What really changed my ride however was one more thing that made the release of the back foot possible. I changed my cadence/pump frequency which was the key to really keep the pitch control. I speeded up my frequency et voilà. I’m sure it depends on the setup and front wing in particular but I encourage everyone in that stage too play with the frequency of pumping. 🤙🏼

Great video. The secret was given in the comment at the end "You can only go as far as you are in shape". There is no magic to pumping. You have to have extremely strong legs and incredible cardio fitness. You wanna pump for 5 minutes? Can you do 5 minute squat hold? Can you sprint for 5 minutes? Can you run a 8 minute mile? Fitness is the biggest secret in the game! You're welcome. 😎🤙

Unfortunately you're right 🤣 Once you've figured out the balancing it's only a question on personal fitness.
@hiltithedrill11 ай бұрын
Can not confirm. Cardio sure is important but if you find the sweet spot high up on the mast just before breaching the foil is so much more efficient and you can go exponentially longer just with better technique 🤙
@DamienLeroyYouTube11 ай бұрын
Yes it is true to some degree, but an out of shape rider with a perfect technique will outrun the most in shape rider with poor technique. So technique remains the most important factor

Hi Gwen excellent video. Do you pusch actively with your back leg or do you just do a squad on the board.
@DamienLeroyYouTube11 ай бұрын
I would say the intention shouldn’t be to push, but to hop, because a push without a hop (going weightless for a split second) doesn’t work, but to hop you have to push. Think about it as a squat jump, not just a squat
@RamonSBruhn11 ай бұрын
Yess but in the part of "jump" of the "squat jump" you push actively more with back leg, 60% backleg 40% front leg or even 70% back leg 30% front leg??@@DamienLeroyKZbin
@DamienLeroyYouTube11 ай бұрын
Yes I would say 60% back leg, 40% front leg, trying to reduce stance and adjust position to work toward 50-50.

Yes spend some time on the Flyer and when you are ready to pump longer, go to the Enduro 1300
@FoilFanatic4211 ай бұрын
Awesome video and demonstration! My problem when I first started was way to much weight on the back leg and not pushing equally with both legs. Once the technique was fixed, like you showed, the length of time I could pump was greatly increased.

Amazing vid! question: you say the downward movement is basically just a glide. so are your forcing the board + mast downward to accelerate the glide? Or just letting gravity do it's thing...then springing back up to take your weight off the board?
@DamienLeroyYouTube5 ай бұрын
The only way to hop and go weightless is to push first, so that push happens when you point the board slightly downhill. That will generate speed as long as you don’t push when the nose is slightly pointed up, otherwise that will put the brakes on

Hi Gwen! Two questions: 1) You said at the end of the video that we can use the same pumping technique for Wingfoiling. Does this also apply to a bigger board (volume is weight + 20kg)? ost training videos on wing foil pumping show other techniques with more front foot pressure. 2) Is this technique same as doing an Ollie on a skateboard (without the huge pull on the front foot)?

@DamienLeroyYouTube11 ай бұрын
Yes the technique is the same for flatwater paddle up, the difference is when you do it with a kite, the kite generates some power which helps (it's never fully depowered), and when you do it with a paddle it's less power and you have to synchronize your paddle stroke with your pumping.

Sir If I may ask for a bit of advice, a little less than 2 months ago I began dock starting and I’m having good luck with it! My question is should I continue to learn on my axis 1150 and 1180 or would I benefit from adding a large pump foil(1401) in an effort to chase down my 2nd goal other than dock starting this season of pumping one minute +? Here is a link to a short for reference of my current skill level: kzbin.infoR4i6xVfX-RE?feature=shared I must say your videos have absolutely been instrumental in my foiling process thank you so much for that!!!
