Shimming and Wedging – How Why and When to Adjust the Angle of Foil Wings
Shimming and Wedging the angle of our foil wings can be confusing, in this video series I explain how, why, and when to adjust the angle of incidence of our foil tail wing, front wing, and mast. In these videos I show and explain 3 ways to shim or wedge a foil and how each change effects flight.

Wind and Wings – Understanding Wind Direction and Which Way it will Push a Wing Foiler
This video series shows wind direction and how to wing foil in the direction we want to go. Using animation I created a map of Crissy Field in San Francisco and show the various ways a winger will get pushed depending on the wind direction and which way the current is flowing. I go through the four seasons showing the changing wind directions, and show what the wind does as storms pass through. This information can be applied to any beach in the world.

Light Wind 8 Meter Wing Foiling
Larger wings have made wonderful advances and are now enjoyable to use and session savers for when the wind gets really light.
I found the first couple generations of bigger wings (6+ meter) to be hard on my body and difficult to manage, the F-one Strike CWC design changed this for me.
Foiling Switch, Unnatural, Weak Side – Riding with Either Left or Right Foot Forward
This video series shows how to foil on our weak or unnatural side. Tips and video breakdowns on how to progress through the challenge of flying straight and staying on foil long enough to complete a reach. The first ten or so sessions were very frustrating for me and no advice helped. I hope to change that with this tutorial and get everyone foiling with either left or right foot forward. There are 5 videos in this series.

Wing Foil Knee Starts on Smaller Boards
Lower volume boards are amazing, the swing weight drops, and maneuverability and control go way up as does the fun. The board I am using in these videos is close to my body weight: Liters and Kilograms. My ability to luff the wing and go downwind riding bumps has increased significantly, and I am getting amazing rides that I am so stoked on. All around the benefits are tremendous, the only challenge was learning to get to my knees, stand up, and then get up on foil. This video series shows in close up frame by frame detail how to get up and fly on a small board. There are 18 videos in this series.

How to Ride Surface Piercing – Tip Breaching a Hydrofoil Without Crashing
This video series shows how to ride a hydrofoil and breach a foil tip without crashing. When turning while surf foiling or wing foiling the outer foil tip comes up and can pierce the water surface. Often this causes ventilation where the whole foil wing looses lift and we fall with a painful faceplant. This video series shows the 3 ways that I know of to breach a foil tip and keep riding, to successfully pierce the surface. Video 1=6:25, Video 2=2:39, Video 3=2:38, Video 4=2:09, Video 5=2:14, Video 6=4:23, Video 7=6:04, Video 8=4:21, Video 9=3:07
