Downwind Foil Paddle Up Slow Motion Technique Breakdown

Great Lakes Waterman

A short slow-motion review of the creator's own flat water paddle up, pointing out his wasted short strokes. Weight on your toes and leaning forward; start with short fast strokes, reach further as speed builds, and unweight the board with each stroke.

Key points

• Weight on your heels lifts your chest and shortens your stroke
• Short fast strokes to start, longer reach as speed builds
• Unweight your feet after each stroke so the board porpoises
• Filming yourself in slow motion shows your wasted strokes
