HOW TO LEARN SURF FOIL ? 

BRUNO SROKA HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SURF FOIL TIPS, 3x WORLD CHAMPION IN KITESURF :

To understand the first sensations of the foil and understand the mechanism, Bruno Sroka advises you to start the foil towed behind a boat. The advantages of starting behind a boat are many. First, the beginner will feel safe because he doesn’t have to worry about the other surfers around him and the bottom under his feet. In addition, the boat’s wave is a soft wave that unwinds, so it is the ideal wave to understand and analyze the flight mechanism. When it is not possible to start with a boat, the practitioner must take precautions when launching it to avoid any danger and danger is not to be taken lightly because foil accidents exist.

Precautions to take when launching :

 

Once on the water, surfers must analyze the positioning of their feet. To do this, the rear foot is located high above or slightly forward of the mast and the front foot is located in front of the front wing. The shoulder spacing should correspond to the position of your feet. In addition, Bruno Sroka advises you not to start with a board that is too small to gain stability. The 160×52 board from SROKA is more suitable for beginners than the pocket board, which is suitable for more experienced foilers.
