Foil 101 Foundation
Starting behind a personal watercraft or on an efoil board using tested and high-quality gear along with Dan's instruction gives each participant the maximum chance of learning to foil on the first session. Using larger foils and slow speeds, each participant gets a chance to master the basics of keeping the board "on foil". This clinic will get more granular in the fine points of establishing a plane on foil, pitch control, roll center stabilization, and safe falling techniques. By the end of the lesson, participants should be ready to start learning on their own or choose to take foil 2.0 if their goal is to SUP Paddle Foil into waves or downwind conditions.
