Merci pour tous ces conseils ! Thanks for sharing !

[@mhucke]

Thanks a lot, very intuitive explanation

[@1290rwrw]

Thx for the video. love your channel ❤

[@nikko_lab3008]

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

[@BrandonesTravelGrub]

Awesome video, I have can't wait to try this amazing sport. Can't wait to take up foiling!

[@PatrickOSullivanAUS]

Fantastic discussion.

[@rubenvf9772]

Great Video!!!!! I've been thinking about getting a GONG pump foil for a long time.

[@gaeldaniele]

Thank you so much Gwen. Incredibly helpful video. Can't wait to try your tips!

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Thanks Gaël!

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. 😎🤙

[@stkl23]

Unfortunately you're right 🤣 Once you've figured out the balancing it's only a question on personal fitness.

[@hiltithedrill]

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 🤙

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

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

[@flightjunkie808]

@@DamienLeroyKZbin Yea. No matter how in shape you are, you can’t win a bike race if you don’t know how to ride a bike. 😎🤙

[@flightjunkie808]

@@DamienLeroyKZbin Just curious. What’s your Vo2 max? Talking and pumping! Your cardio game looks strong. 😎🤙

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.

[@patrikol]

Super! Thank you. Realy great.

[@carlossaez3586]

Excellent!

[@FoilFanatic42]

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.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Thanks for sharing!

[@lakechamplainkitenwing]

NICE! Merci!

[@user-et9zg6bz5x]

리드미컬하게 앞발로 앞으로 살짝내리면서 밀고, 뒷발로 눌러서 띄운다고 생각햇는데 그게 아니군요, 뒷발을 누를때 같이 앞발도 누르면 앞이 단단하니 양발힘을 쓸수 있을거고 지치지 않고 할수 있겠네요 ! 영상 감사합니디

[@Luke-mx4zx]

Great video gentlemen. Is this the same technique for sup flatwater paddle up? I only ask as I can pump my kite foil really well but I’m having trouble getting my sup foil going. Thanks for all the great content! 🙏

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

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.

[@Luke-mx4zx]

@@DamienLeroyKZbin Thanks 🙏

[@dinosaurux]

Great video! Thanks! What front wing you would recommend for 82 kg raider 1350 or 1550? What is your weight? What mast is better 83p or 73p for beginner?

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

That’s the setup we recommend: wingfoilprocenter.com/products/sabfoil-1350-leviathan-kit-for-pumping-and-light-wind-winging?_pos=2&_psq=Sabfoil+leviat&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[@kiteshopschweiz]

Top great 👍

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Thank you we appreciate you!

[@RamonSBruhn]

Hi Gwen excellent video. Do you pusch actively with your back leg or do you just do a squad on the board.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

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

[@RamonSBruhn]

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

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Yes I would say 60% back leg, 40% front leg, trying to reduce stance and adjust position to work toward 50-50.

[@asaintx]

That is helpful. To the untrained eye, it looks like you are just squatting down, not also hopping or jumping to bring the foil up. 👍🏾

[@griffinbrungraber9498]

Great video! Rider weight? Foil setup info?

[@griffinbrungraber9498]

@@DamienLeroyKZbin Thanks. What are the weight ranges you recommend for flatwater pumping between the 1150, 1350, 1550, and 1750?

[@Olegisrael1234]

Is it also relevant for catching the next swell or a wave that escapes you?

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

100%, same technique

[@matija3791]

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)?

[@yvonvite3670]

Not an Ollie at all... same push on both legs...

[@merlinzwicky5372]

more like a Bumptrack

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Yes same technique with a bigger board. Not so much like an Ollie but more of a hop pushing about equally with both legs

[@matija3791]

Merci pour ces précisions ! Même quand tu fais ce qu'il ne faut pas faire ça le fait! Faudrait que tu nous racontes ton parcours et ta rencontre avec le foil et comment tout ça c'est passé pour toi! Hâte d'en apprendre davantage sur toi.

How you protect the micro?

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Don’t fall 😜

[@PatrickOSullivanAUS]

The way you so easily jump onto the board from the waters edge is amazing. Sigh.

It's not fair he can jump up from ground like that, it should be illegal... 😋
