Mast Position with Flat Water Paddle Up

Marvinho dos Santos

Session 11 of a rider's journey to the flat water paddle up. He tests the mast at the front, middle and back of the track: for him the front gave the most lift and was the most helpful, while the back made it much harder. He also asks viewers whether the bent-over, explosive paddling causes them back pain.

Key points

• He could already pump foil and wing foil before starting
• Mast at the front of the track: most lift, most helpful for him (though the nose sometimes sank)
• Middle was okay; far back felt like missing lift and was much harder
• Raises a question about back pain from explosive, bent-over paddling
