Windsurf Foiling Progress
(Spring 2020)
The purpose of this page is to provide videos and blog posts to show the progress that intermediate windsurfers can expect when learning to windsurf foil. In the beginning, Lisa and I were a little scared to learn foiling. However, it turned out to be much safer, far easier, and WAY MORE FUN than we expected. Below is a list of the blog posts and videos that document our progress. Keep in mind that our athletic skills are just average, and we had never tried any kind of foiling prior to this experience. Choosing the proper gear is very important when learning how to foil. Also, consistent study of videos from experienced riders is essential. I hope this information helps you to progress more quickly on your windsurf foiling journey.
