Foiling first steps

Foiling behind a boat/jetski

If you have the opportunity to use a motorboat or a jet ski, then you can perfectly learn your first steps at foiling while being towed behind it.

The advantage: a motorboat or jet ski creates a constant pull on a smooth water surface. There is no need to coordinate your movements with the wing, so you can concentrate on pure foiling.

Towing using a rope (as shown in the video) is the simplest option. However, it works even better if you can hold on to a bar that extends out over the side of the boat.

Some surf schools offer wing foiling behind a boat or jet ski. Just ask the instructors for more information.
