Beginner’s Guide to Stand-Up Foiling: How to Get Started 🚀

Starboard Wing & Foiling

A brand rider explains getting up on a stand-up foil for the first time in flat water: foil in the middle of the box, back foot right over the foil, the front foot turned toward where you want to go, and a paddle about head height. Start with a wide stance for stability, then move the front foot back once you're flying. From the board brand's channel.

Key points

• Put the foil in the middle of the box and mark where the back of your foot goes, right over the foil
• Turn the front foot toward your direction of travel: it opens the body for the stroke and helps stop the board turning
• Paddle about head height (adjustable is handy)
• Wide stance while paddling, then move the front foot back once flying for a centred, more manoeuvrable feel
• Keep the back foot on the centre line (and the front foot's toes on it) for balance
