Wing Foil - Learn to Jump With 4 Top Tips

[@johnmharlow]

Great video. Straight forward and clear! What kind of straps are you using?

[@foilsleeve8906]

Thanks! They are Armstrong foam straps - I really like them. Super light and comfy

[@goprograndpa]

Thanks! Great explanation…I’m ready to go try it!

This is a really great video straight to the point and the land-based format works well. I'm thinking of getting a 5.4 Fanatic Skywing. Seems like a good choice for an intermediate wingfoiler of about 87kg... thoughts?

[@foilsleeve8906]

Thanks for the feedback on the video! I really rate my sky wing. Really good volume distribution - and amazing build quality. I literally hit a boat with mine - don’t ask - and there was not a scratch on it. The foil box is right on the tail, and that seems to work well. Recommended 👍

These techniques are very similar to windsurfing. Another tip, curl your toes, it'll prevent your feet slipping out of the straps. Show the underside of the board to the wind, it'll create more lift, although to be fair wing boards are pretty small so may have limited effect. 🤙👍

Thanks! Also, Gong team rider Malo G. (this year's GWA world champ) recommend lending with frontwing =0down, not tail down, they tell that landing tail down will very quickly pop your board out of the water and you will crash, here's his tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXmqhqWnnJurns0

With kitesurfsing, when you grab your board, you are steady/stable in the sky, i hope you know what i mean. Is there something like that in foiljumping?! Technic to have controle in the sky

What footstraps are you using in this video?

[@ozoneflysurfer9491]

Great tips thanks. What position is the wing in when you initiate the jump ? Do you send it like a kite or just keep it in one position and pop?

[@foilsleeve8906]

You need to olly the board and pump the wing together as you boost... then extend your arms and let the wind just take you. So you parachute up... and then come down soft!

Nice video Mark. Is there any reason why you only use one front footstrap? Do you jump switch on starboard tack?

[@dchiffy]

Great vid. Do you have a link to the extender?
