Some foil success

Today (May 6, 2018) I caught two waves where I took off kneeling up; got to my feet before the board went up on the foil and rode the wave mostly on the foil. The difference was that I was surfing with a bloke riding a SUP (5'9" 90 something litres). A case of money see monkey do. Anyway, this activity is too fashionable for this blog, so I have posted to: supwindfoil.net Page to view: supwindfoil.blogspot.com/2018/05/monkey-does

Question from chrisb

Please explain why it is beneficial to kneel instead of standing when paddling. Fair question: Here is the list as I see it. You can surf on a smaller board; You can go out in choppier water; and You can paddle stronger.

Paddle recommendation

Starboard Enduro adjustable sup.star-board.com/products/paddle-overview Specifications: : Tiki Tech Blade Hybrid Carbon shaft adjustable 154cm to 213cm 3.5 stiffness. Uni-directional pre-impregnated hybrid carbon. Recommendation to paddle manufacturers: All adjustable paddles should allow an adult to comfortably paddle in a kneeling position. An adjustable paddle is great for paddlers looking for different paddle length or sharing the paddle with friends and family. This one has a wide Tiki clamp for a quick and effortless release. The clamp also helps control the alignment without twisting. It has extended reinforcement on the blade neck for greater overall strength. Despite which I have broken one and am onto my second. I started with a small - 237g 20.5cm wide Area: 475cm2 and now use a medium, cannot find the specs for this size. Here is everything you need to know about choosing a paddle.
