Alright some additional tips here for readers in the comments : 1. Starting to learn to foil on the second or third wave with a longer rope is farrrr easier (and safer IMO) than learning on the front wave, it is also safer. One of the hardest things folks have when learning is how to control their forward speed down the wake, avoid crashing into the boat by starting further back. 2. Hold onto the rope longer when falling (not too long to hurt your arm, but just a bit to get your body away from the foil), which often pulls you away from the foil and board and into safety 3. As you progress further on the water and start riding further back, wear bright colors so other boaters can more easily see you as a rider. 4. Impact Vests are not considered 'floatation', CGA is and will always be more reliable floatation no matter the rider size and experience. 5. Having a good base of one of the following ~ wake surfing , wakeboarding, or something should be considered lowest criteria for entry to this sport for safety purposes. Shred on! but safe.

Awesome video, but I'm not sure I agree that the sinker style start is easiest, especially if you are coming from a wakesurf/wakeboard background. I 100% prefer the sideways start (I'm on a 3'6" exo waters stryke).

What would be good is a video on foiling behind a jet ski boat (Tige, Mastercraft) without the surf ballast. Some of us learn on boats that don't have all the bells and whistles. My friend can't currently afford to upgrade.

Tige and Mastercraft's are v-drive driven, not jet driven.

Looks easy. I’ve been trying to get on the wake for a while but every time I turn into the wave the foil just jumps up porpoises and I lose it!

What would an efoiler need to do to get wake surfing? Make that video!

That’s look very expensive. You burn 30-40 litres of gas per hour right? We foil behind 2.7 meters PVC board powered by chinese copy of Tohatsu 9.8 engine. As for the foil we use Axis PNG 1150 and 1310 with macrochip board. Towing speed is 8-15 km/h (kids-adults)

Are you doing tricks off of the wave that the boat makes?
