A slow-motion tutorial on the SUP foil flat water paddle up. First learn to accelerate with the legs only, sinking the board hard and being light on the rebound; then synchronise the paddle with the legs, using quick short strokes in front of you. Once close to take-off, keep paddling a couple more strokes before switching to pumping.

Key points

• Most of the take-off power comes from the legs: sink the board hard (be heavy), then be as light as possible on the rebound with the back heel up
• Increase the frequency of these oscillations to accelerate; use this to find your mast position
• When the paddle presses in front, push down and forward; as it releases, push down on the back leg and extend; bring it forward while light
• Quick, short strokes in front of you; avoid long strokes behind your shoulders
• Even if you're exhausted, give a couple of extra strokes at take-off before pumping only
