@@heliboy999fly thx dude:-)

Looks promising! Gong advises to place the mast at the back third for paddle ups. This is to prevent the foil from lifting to early which causes it to stall. I've put mine at "slot" no 5. Front foot in between the inserts of the front footstrap, back foot just in front of the insert of the back footstrap. Foot placement really matters. Depending on mast placement and board of course. Keep it up!

@@basvv My board was one of the first so it didn’t have the V foot straps so I had to glass some in. They are not in the position that a newer one is. I’m experimenting with mast position. And I do feel a stall condition regularly so I am moving it back more each session

Great effort, I was willing you up on the last couple of goes 🙏

Yeah I have never felt the foil (even a 1800) in paddling flat. Btw, I get this blisters too and bottom of my feet, even with booties

@@clowngrowl2671 I’m on the Sirus 5XL. It was biggest available at the time and since I’ve heard the Curves are really good. Lots of success stories and I think it’s maybe slightly easier to learn on. I use the Apple Watch with the “Waterspeed” app. It’s pretty good for measuring your progress. What board are you going to use?

I started with a casey elite 7'3" but jumped to a 8'6" Stinger Stealth this year. Been on the GoFoil 2600 and I am making some progress, no lift off yet, but I want to give the Gong Curve a try. A flatwater paddle up has become my white whale -

@@clowngrowl2671 well you m not there yet but from my progress recently it’s actually the basics. Forward plant of the paddle, efficient stroke, lean forward, don’t try to bounce too hard too early. Work the legs and get fitter. Get a GPS and see speeds with different stages. Also, get some film. It really helps to see what’s right and wrong

Super! Attention Ton strap te fait mettre ton pied non centré. Cela va te déséquilibrer quand tu auras décollé

Really interesting point. So is it better to just glass in a single offset strap? As it looks like one paddles up on a favoured side only correct?
