Slide

Shredding across the water with the foil

Sliding with the foil is really fun – just glide across the water's surface. You need a bit of stronger wind to make it work for as long as possible.

To slide, you have to guide the front wing to the water surface. This works similarly to a jump – but very carefully, so that the foil just breaks through the water surface and then touches down on the water.

Slightly ride more downwind beforehand and keep the nose up during the slide. If the slide becomes too slow, the dynamic lift from the front wing will no longer be sufficient and it will sink. Prepare to catch the touchdown in order to take off as quickly as possible.
