How to Downwind Foil: Lesson 2 - Pumping Technique

The Foil Project

Lesson 2 of a downwind series, on pumping. Think of an ollie: jump up and forward and land on the front foot. Three water drills (porpoise the board without paddling, small strokes timed with pumps, one powerful stroke) and the paddle up split into three phases.

Key points

• Pump like an ollie: up and forward, land on the front foot
• Drill 1: porpoise the board by pumping only
• Drill 2: small strokes — sink as the blade enters, pop as it exits
• Three phases: paddle straight for speed → add pumping → go all out
