Pump foil at SROKA: fly without wind, powered only by your legs

No wind, no waves, no engine. The rhythm of your legs generates lift and the foil carries you. Pump foil is a discipline simple in concept, demanding to master, and that's what makes every session addictive. Dockstart, launching from a dock, is the most accessible entry point to the sport.

Which board to choose for pump foil?

A pump foil board must be short, light and rigid. The lighter it is, the less energy you spend with each stroke. The Pump Board 80 V2 is molded in prepreg carbon and weighs 1.52 kg, making it one of the lightest production boards on the market at equivalent size. Its flat hull and forward rocker facilitate takeoff and forgive touch-downs. It accepts all foils with top plate mounting. Find all our pump foil boards.

Which foil to choose for pumping?

The foil makes the difference in pump foil. Two families, two uses.

To get started, the High Aspect 2000 wing is the obvious choice. It takes off early, forgives placement errors and lets you learn dockstart without fighting the equipment. It's the wing in the beginner package, and it works perfectly for that.

The Pump Foil range targets performance. It's for riders who already have foil experience, in wing, surf foil or kite:

2200 cm²: the most accessible in the range, suits a beginner coming from foil, heavier riders and long sessions
1750 cm²: the versatile choice, best compromise between lift and glide, still approachable for an experienced rider starting pumping
1500 cm²: speed and distance, for riders confident in pumping and lighter builds

These wings mount on S-Foil 70 or 85 cm mast, with 56 fuselage and 180 stabilizer. A short mast eases first takeoffs, a long mast better forgives touch-downs. All our pump foil front wings are interchangeable with the S-Foil range.

Should you buy a complete foil or separate elements?

The complete foil guarantees compatibility between the front wing, mast, fuselage and stabilizer, at the best price. It includes the wing of your choice, the 70 cm mast as standard (85 cm as option), the 56 fuselage, the 180 stabilizer and hardware. If you already own an S-Foil mast, the board and wings are available individually and mount directly on it. The entire system is modular: you change front wing without changing foil as your level progresses.

How to get started with dockstart?

Start on a low dock, with a large wing and a 70 cm mast. Place your back foot at mast level, pump hard to take off, then more gently to maintain flight. Find all our tips in our guide to get started with foil dockstart, and video tutorials on the YouTube SROKA Company.

Each board and wing in this collection is designed and tested in Brittany by Bruno Sroka, three-time Kitesurfing world champion, and his team.

FAQ

Which pump foil board should I choose for dock starts?

For dock starts you need a compact, light and stiff board that launches easily off the dock and transfers every pump to the foil. The Pump Board 80 V2 is built for exactly that: 80 cm long, 39 cm wide, 6.2 L of volume and 1.52 kg on the scale. Its moulded prepreg carbon construction with carbon stringers gives consistent stiffness and direct transfer of every pump to the foil. The flat hull helps take-off, the front rocker forgives touchdowns, and the full-length grip keeps your feet in place as you land the jump. Its double carbon track accepts any foil with a plate mount.

Which foil should I choose for pump foiling and dock starts?

You need a front wing with plenty of lift and glide, so you can stay up easily and cover distance while pumping. Two options depending on your background:

The High Aspect 2000: 2000 cm², 140 cm span. This is the beginner pack wing. It lifts early, forgives placement errors and lets you start with no run-up, just by jumping onto the board.
The Pump Foil range in 1500, 1750 and 2200 cm²: a performance range for riders who already have foiling experience. The 2200 is the most accessible of the three; the 1500 is for experienced pumpers and lighter riders.

Rule of thumb: the bigger the surface, the easier the take-off and the more forgiving the wing. The smaller it is, the more speed and technique you need.

What makes a good dock start spot?

Look for calm water with no current or wind, deep enough that the foil never touches the bottom, and a stable dock wide enough to take a run-up while holding the board. See our favourite dock start spots in Switzerland.

How do I dock start on a pump foil?

Take a few running steps along the dock holding the board (one or two are enough depending on the wing), then jump onto it. Some riders land the back foot first, others the front foot: it really comes down to personal preference. Pump hard as soon as you touch down to get up on the foil, then ease off once you are flying.

How much speed do I need for a dock start?

It depends on the wing. With the High Aspect 2000, the beginner pack wing, a simple jump off the dock is enough. The smaller the wing, like the Pump Foil 1500, the more run-up and technique you need to take off.

How do I pump efficiently on a foil?

A few key points for efficient pumping:

Place your back foot over the mast and your front foot well ahead of the centre of the board.
At the start, push hard to give yourself time to get flying and settle into position on the board.
Pump hard for the first 4 or 5 strokes, then more gently to stay in flight and save energy.
Keep your centre of gravity directly above the foil so you don't drift sideways.
Look ahead to keep your balance.
