Flat Water Start Hydro-Foiling Tutorial

Jeremy Riggs

A short tutorial on popping up onto the foil in flat water. He first shows the footwork on land using a skim board, then demonstrates it on the water.

Key points

• Back foot: lift the heel and drive the knee forward, sending the hips forward in a circular motion from back to front.
• Front foot: slide the board forward. Practise scooting the board out on a skim board.
• Partway through the stroke, put all your weight on the paddle for a strong scoop.
• On the water, sink into a deeper squat to load the paddle and pop the nose up, then keep your hips centred over the board and avoid leaning back so you can keep driving it forward and down.
