[GoPro11mini]Flat water pop up foil with GoFoil M280 FTL17 #downwind #gofoil
Birdman358’s island paddle life
A GoPro clip of a Japanese rider's pop up with tips in the description: stand up with feet in the straps (not parallel), bounce the board two or three times with the small swell coming from behind without paddling all-out, then paddle hard using the bounce. When the swell and the paddle timing match, you're foiling. Classified from the description (music only).
Key points
- Stand up with your feet in the straps; standing parallel makes the board shake. Back foot on the raised part of the deck
- Bounce the board 2–3 times with the swell from behind; don't paddle all-out until a decent swell comes
- Use the bounce and paddle hard; if a swell passes you, another may come from behind
- Keep the paddle vertical or the board spins
