Flat Water Pumping Tips by Trevor Tunnington

Starboard Wing & Foiling

A board brand's short tips for flat water pop ups, which the rider calls the best training for downwind. Know where your back foot goes relative to the mast, compress the board on each stroke and let it spring back, then stand taller and narrow your stance once you are out of the water. The gear shown is the brand's own.

Key points

• Foil in the middle of the box is the balanced default; forward = more lift for small foils, back = more pitch control if the foil is a bit big
• Note where the mast is so you know where to put your back foot
• Lean over the paddle and front leg, compress the board down on the stroke and let it spring back as the blade exits
• Once clear of the water, stop compressing: stand taller with a neutral stance — you're in the right spot when the back foot can go weightless
• Start with a wider stance for more bounce, then move the front foot back for smaller, longer-lasting pumps
