Breaching, or flying the foil out of the water usually leads to a fall and or missing the wave.
In these videos I talk about the how and why of breaching and the technique I use to keep the wing down and in the water.

The three times I hurt myself learning to foil were due to roll falls and my inability to fall safely. In these videos I explain what a roll fall is, how they happen, how to fall safely, and how to prevent.

In these videos I explain hip movement and its effect on the foil and altitude, for me this is a crucial skill or movement required for foil surfing.

In these videos I show and explain foot placement, both front and back and left to right, in relation to the front wing and how this effects foil control. I also explain the why and when I move the mast instead of my feet and what effect this has on foiling. For me foot placement has been crucial to have precise control and fly the foil wherever I want. When my feet are out of place or I don't know where my feet are in relation to the front wing I flail and crash.

In this first video I explain the 3 axis of foiling: Pitch, Roll, and Yaw. This second video I give an overview or breakdown of what happens as I catch a wave and begin to foil. I explain how the wings function and how to navigate down the face of a wave and complete a ride.
