Hi
I am quite experienced, and can pump up into foiling with the wing very good, footswitches no problem and riding waves okay too.
BUT, when letting the wing hang, and no waves really, I suck bigtime and can hardly get anywhere
Can see in all videos, that most can pump for as long as they like almost (okay, I know they cant, but pretty long...)
And I am going nowhere...
Has anybody else got the same challenge?
And any hints?
Got three different wings (and sizes) and I know it cant be the gear, but me.
There are many videos of wakefoilers or similar, where they just pump around easily.
And I get nowhere, bugger.
I also know the rythm and pace of pumping depends on the wing, and in particular the rear wing size (I use supersmall rear wings), but it should just be a matter of getting used to the frequency that your setup got.
Has anybody got the same problem - but learned how to over time?
I am a master of handling everything when using the wind (windsurf/kitesurf/wingsurf/hanggliding/soaring), but using a wingfoil to pump energy - I cant do
Okay, I dont really practice, as because nothing happens, I dont really chase to do so very often, but I still try at least, now and then.
Is it simply a matter of trying over and over, and let yourself drop in/on the water everytime when you fail?
I dont have the talent like most 20 year olds, or many others, I know, but my question is very sincere
