I have a hip problem that does not allow me to stand up from my knees in one direction. Your tip on how to place your front hand on the first handle and press down with the other hand to create a tripod effect saved my progression. I would not have been able to progress otherwise as I could only start in one direction. Thank you !

Good job guys, Now you need the way old guys do it. At age 67 I cannot do many things like you do it.

My board is so wide I can’t straddle it, I think this is quite common with beginning equipment,  yet no one seems to account for this.

Love the combo of instructors, Kelly its great to see your progression and you have some great insights which makes it feel accessible.

I hadn't seen the tripod technique, leveraging one arm to push the trailing edge of the wing down for stability. Looking forward to trying it!

Pretty good tip for beginner.

Thanks so much. I had my first Wing trial yesterday….very rewarding experience.

You guys are so nice! Thanks for always being so reassuring and positive, love your videos. Am struggling big time as a newbie winger, glad to hear I'm not the only one :D

Wish I saw this when starting out.  I struggled through this stage and developed my own style,  but very similar to Kelly's tips. I always angle me stance on my knees, then pump the wing and get up on my front foot first. Very interesting to hear other ideas.

Damien had the best beginner look on water 😄

This really helps and thank you. I will watch and re-watch to hopefully get this locked in my brain. I'm coming from 32 years of wind sports with the last 10 years in kitefoiling tiny "pocket boards". This is a big challenge for me as it's been since 2003 was the last time I essentially dropped windsurfing, purchased and entirely new fleet of gear. Starting with large foil, large wing, floaty board. I weigh 70kg

So helpful. Thank you for doing these videos. I do like seeing the perspective from different people who have a different approach. Sometimes one method is easier than others, good to know you have options.

Thank you for all of your videos about this awesome sport…

You guys are awesome.  I got my first board/wing 3 years ago but in northern Indiana on lakes surrounded by woods there just isn't much wind unless it's March or Nov and 30 degrees and sleeting.  Highest summer speed hit is about 12mph per summer.  And that might be once or twice.
One of the most depressing days of my life was the day I got a wind meter and learned just how slowly the wind can be moving and still have flags flying erect in the wind. (sub 10mph)  
What we always used to judge a really windy day.  LOL
There was very little information/how to out there and I just crashed.  The wing (1st gen Slingwing) was too heavy (rotator cuff issues) and my balance not that great to stand there for long with not enough wind.  Frustrated, I bought a Lift Efoil and have enjoyed immensely learning to foil the past 2 summers (short season). Now I'm ready to take it to the wing!  Understanding that what is barely moving on the water could be moving decently on the foil I am really stoked for this coming summer.  I'll start on our Red Paddle Co windsurf inflatable sup with center daggerboad (only went downwind before!) and 6m wing vs the 4.5 I was on before. I've got a big wing for my foil  (I'm 225lb) and once I get the hang of sailing I'm going to buy one of the larger inflatable foil boards (fantatic sky air premium or starboard air foil) for the stability to learn on before (hopefully) getting a smaller hard board when I can stay on the foil most of the time.

There is suddenly (just this year) a lot more specific technical information out there!  What a beautiful thing.
When i started the answer to the question "how do you turn that thing?"  was "you go out and try it and figure it out".
Spent many hours figuring out things that are now learned in a few minutes watching videos if you pay attention.  But that was also half the fun, learning something that very few other people have ever tried.
The first summer of the Lift, there was a group of guys that rented a cottage for the summer at the lake we frequent.  They had bought 3 Fliteboards and were hawking learning rides at $300 pop trying to  pay for their boards I think.  They would see us out struggling (learning)  and would always pull up and ask if we wanted a lesson. They used head sets and a teacher on another board and really got people going quickly.   But they were dumbstruck that we would struggle when we could learn it quickly.  Not grasping the joy of the self learning of something new and profoundly different.  Just my take.
I'll be 65 in June and I think this stuff is part of the answer to staying young.  The balance work required for this (and most) old folks is extensive. I always thought balance issues were inner ear kind of problems.  Was surprised to be held back by muscles giving out from over use.  I'm spent quite a few hours on a Blue Planet balance board and that has helped immensely.

Thanks for all the videos. Please continue to give visibility to Harry. It’s seeing him that wake me up at 56 from a lazy life ;-)

Your tips are helping me live my best life! Thank you so much!

finaly a great video on how to wing foil. what I was waiting for. thank you.

When I'm out there winging/learning I think of what you guys say !  Thanks !

I bought my stuff and my first classes start at the end of April.  I look forward to starting.  I have already learned a lot thanks to these videos.  Thanks for that and keep it up 👍👍👍

Extremely helpful. Good teaching.
