Learning How To JUMP START a Hydrofoil!!

In this video I attempt to hurt myself by learning the almighty jump start. Luckily I didn't die and can successfully land it!

Lol - love that first try. Coming from surfing the balance is so weird on these.

[@mattkeller5388]

I'm paranoid about an injury from the foil, or prop on an efoil - have you had any injuries or close calls?

[@FoilFanatic42]

@mattkeller5388 No real injuries, just a few bruises from hitting various parts of the foil. Hitting the efoil has only really happened from breaching on glassy water and not knowing how high up I was. Avoid glassy days when learning on any foil in my opinion. A helmet would also be smart.

How come you've decided against the 1401?

[@FoilFanatic42]

While the 1401 would be great for the marathon pumping that I want to do, I just think the 1180 will be an all around better wing for speed, carving and ease of pumping. I still want both wings though! The 1180 will be here next week so I'm super excited!
