Stalling has been my bane for a while. Happily it's becoming less and less of an issue. As a beginner I think there's a tendency to want to lean back when speed picks up and you feel out of control. I'm not sure how much it might affect stalling, but bearing upwind could contribute too. You end up downwind when learning so losing ground is always unpleasant. Snaking downwind and then heading on a beam reach seems to help me get my speed going again. It's all time in the water, ultimately! Thanks for the great videos!

Its just so good to keep coming back to your videos as I progress. As I experience the do's and dont's myself, the reviewing of each lesson makes more sense and has helped me get up and stay up on foil. Really appreciate the effort that goes into these videos

Can you tell me what size board that is?

[@kitesurfcollege]

Hi Vince. That's a 125L skySUP. It's actually a SUP-foil/wing-foil crossover board not a wing specific board. The wing specific skywing 125L is shorter and fatter. I mostly use an 85L or 30L but wanted typical beginner or lesson equipment in the intro videos.
