So I cracked out on a 1M foil and hooked it up to my mololo thinking I had the mother of all downwinding setups.
Nope.
now I have been going out in all weathers and hitting the gym like a mofo for months now but there's no way I could get this setup flying on a swell.
Now I didn't actually downwind - I paddled out agains the wind and turned around so maybe I was missing the whole momentum of several waves one after the other?
Also Is the board just too heavy? Unless I am on something breaking I just can't get it up.
how do you know when you have enough go to start pumping and paddling -?
