Don’t Try SUP Foil Until You Watch This

The Kiteworld Shop

The step before the paddle up. Learn a clean stroke on your knees first, then stand and keep the paddle in the water as a third point of balance. Cadence over power. Also gives rough sizes for board, paddle, foil and mast. From a shop's channel.

Key points

• Keep the paddle vertical — tilted, you just turn in circles
• Don't pull with your arms; lean forward and move your body to the paddle
• A good stroke makes no splash and no noise
• Speed is stability — don't try to stand without it
• Board guide: 8'0–8'4 long, 17–20" wide, volume ≈ your weight in kg + 30–35 L; paddle 1–2 cm taller than you
• Mast 70–80 cm (85–90 is hard for beginners); foil around 1,200–1,600 cm² — too big lifts too early and you never learn to build speed
• Learn to pump behind a boat or with a foil drive first

Creator says it's for Beginners who just got a SUP foil board and can barely stand on it — the step before the paddle up
