Learning to Downwind Foil | What I Learned. And What I'd Do Differently.

Lift Foils

A college student documents learning downwind foiling, with seven lessons: protect your gear, flat water teaches everything, the ocean is a different game, don't start in heavy conditions, learn to read bumps, his first successful run, and that progression never ends. From a foil brand's channel.

Key points

• On flat water: learn to paddle straight first, then combine paddling with the pumping motion
• Paddle out in front, never behind the back leg; think fast rather than powerful
• When you feel the board lifting, don't stop paddling until you're really up
