Deepwater starts can be challenging, and there are a couple of key factors you need to keep in mind. In this video, GONG team rider, Mathieu, equipped with his 5’2 Flint FSP PRO shows us step by step.
Water start
- Put the Wing in the right direction.
- Sink the Board vertically on its side. Get your feet in the straps and stay crouched the time to find the right balance.
- Get the riding Handles of the Wing in your hands and lift it above you and sheet it in progressively.
- Use the vertical traction of the Wing to extract yourself from the water.
- Pump the Foil to take-off.
Key points:
- Dose the Wings power.
- Keep your hands in the vertical axe to keep the wing in umbrella position (not in screen shield).
- You need enough wind.
