Great video Robert! I will repost in Cocoa Beach SUP Foilers!

[@professionalaesthetics]

Nice Video! On waist high waves, is it better to go shorter and wide (7'x30") vs longer and narrow (8'3" x 28) for learning SUP foiling? ...if you already are a surfer and foiling kiteboarder?

[@blueplanetsurf]

A little longer will help to learn and a board designed specifically for foiling will make it much easier. Good luck and be safe 🤙🏼

What's the secret to paddling the short board and it doesn't capsize? I can't just paddle one side, I have to paddle once each side to keep the board straight.

[@blueplanetsurf]

That’s exactly what this video is about: take short strokes in front and pull towards you to go more straight

[@renatoboro194]

@@blueplanetsurf Perfect, thanks for the pointer. My stroke is too parallel to the board, I'll try to fix that.

Is gong rise foil good?

[@blueplanetsurf]

I'm not sure, we have not tired it.

[@gjl7022]

what are the specs. on this rig?

[@blueplanetsurf]

This board is 6’0x27.5x114L and I’m about 195 lbs

[@FourthWayRanch]

it's soooo hard to just stand up and balance on these things

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes, that's why it's good to start with a bigger board and slowly work your way down.
