Learn to Foil

Learn to FoilI’m stoked.  These videos are designed to show you how to foil.  To give you the information I wish I had when I was learning to foil.  The videos show and explain each skill and maneuver needed to successfully foil.   Shown in close up detail, I go frame by frame and explain what to do and why it works.  This video course shortens the foil learning curve, making the learn to foil journey easier and more enjoyable.  I will post the newest videos at the bottom of the page, or click here to see a chronological listing of these learn to foil videos.

Steep Take offs and “Noserider” Take Offs

Steep Take OffSteep take offs can be scary and dangerous on a foil, and also super fun, exciting, and satisfying.

Getting hucked over the falls, face planting, and then getting run over by the foil is not fun.

In these videos I show how I make steep drops in overhead powerful waves, the technique works for me in any size waves.  I also use this technique on downwinders and wing dinging. The second technique I show is how to catch waves that seem uncatchable or that barely break.
