After some technique advice guys. I'm an inexperienced SUP foiler (kite foiling several years). I can get some reasonable rides on the SUP foil provided I get a decent wave section to give me enough drive to pop up on the foil. That bit of wave is also the bit that every long and shortboarder is after which is a total pain. I see videos of guys popping up on some pretty mellow shoulders away from the critical section. Theres quite a few of that type of wave at my locals and I would love to be able to foil off that sort of wave but it seems beyond me to get going on those shoulders. Is this all just down to paddle fitness or are there some other tricks? Riding Naish XL wing on Hover 120.
cheers
