Since I enjoy watching other's people pumpfoil Progress, here is my own contribution to this field of entertainment :D
These are like 95% of my tries, i could not record during rain.
It took me some time, to learn it. Throughout my progress board control was the major issue. As you can see, i got a good idea how the pumping technique works right from the start, staying in control of the board was the bigger problem. Also i was a little bit afraid of jumping on the board at the start, thats why you see all these "warmup tries" and my hesitancy when i did actual dockstarts for the first time.
The last run is the longest i did so far. I think the curve xlt is an easy dockstarter, but offers a lot of drag compared to high aspect foils. Maybe it is even a little oversized for my 64 kg.
Gear:
GONG curve xlt 65cm Mast stock configuration
GONG Matata eps 4'2'' ( very fragile, had to repair it 5 times alrdy)
