How to Downwind Foil — SUP, FoilDrive, Parawing, Wing.

Hydro Gav

A rider argues that downwind foiling is about reading bumps, not gear. He explains letting go of a bump early instead of clinging to it, the 'off-the-back' method for slower foils and the 'pathway' method for linking bumps ahead, and keeping the board's nose low so you foil downhill.

Key points

• Holding onto a bump too long leaves you in dead water; release early and hunt the next
• Off-the-back: turn early and pick up the bump behind you
• Pathway: use your speed to slip through low zones to the next pocket of energy
• Keep the nose low: if it points uphill, you're climbing
