Wing Foiling: Top 5 Tips for Beginners from master instructor Alan Cadiz on the Blue Planet Show

These are Alan's Top 5 Tips for Wing Foiling Beginners:
1) Learn wing handling on a big board with daggerboard before getting on a foil board and/ or use a big, floaty foil board to learn on.
2) Learn to steer the board and turn around close to the beach, don't go out too far only to find out you can't go the other way. Beware of off shore winds!
3) Learn to use the wing to steer the board. Think of the strut as a weather vane that wants to point straight downwind. You can use it as a rudder by twisting the luffing wing with your core to steer the board.
4) Foot placement: find floatation point (front to back) on the board before coming up on foil, adjust foil so floatation point aligns with center of lift of foil.
Use visual or tactile markings on the board to mark the foot positions.
Balance weight over center line of board before coming up on foil. Keep weight in line with the mast. If weight is not balanced over foil, eject quickly to avoid falling on foil, don't try to "catch" your fall.
5) Wing handling- practice controlling the wing in steady wing before getting on the water.
Practice flipping the wing over from the wing tip, controlling the angle of the wing, powering up the wing with the tip close to the ground but not touching, how to bring wing back up if it touches so it does not flip over, leaning against the wind, and practice hand movements in jibes and tacks.
