love Puakea everything. wish John wouldnt say boat all the time tho 🤷🏽‍♂️

Many thanks on the proper technique 🤙🤙

This guy is a true analyst of paddling

Surfboard, Paipo board, bodyboard, hand plane?

It's a plane, you can fly!

Hello, we are a production team for a Korean TV program. We would like to use this video in our program. Is it possible to use the video with attribution? Looking forward to your reply :)

So much different techniques people be telling me these days

One must learn to swim differently.

Been there, done that. I use two hand boards but way thinner. They were given to me one day at Makapuu after I came in. I was using a homemade balsa board.

I guess this is what prandtl washout looks like when you don't know how to make it progressive. Some of us are using our progressive washout designs for a while now.

Join us in an exclusive interview with Alex Aguera, the visionary founder of GoFoil, as he takes us through the transformative journey of the RS-X Series foils.

Can anyone give me a time stamp when Dave talks about the e3 SUPs, particularly the 5’ range?

How do you paddle out with a hand plane without fatiguing your arms? I find using fins only is enough, so my handplane has only been used twice, so not even a handful of times.

Hmm. I see still hyping the step and quiet about the washout. I've been keeping an eye out on manufacturers using it since I published about it on kiteforums back in 2021. Then was the race to try it. Triton, me, GoFoil, Armstrong are the ones I know of. I love the advantages, interesting seeing manufacturers coming out with their own versions and their implementations of it.

Thank you for such an indepth explanation on the basics of paddling, it's really helped me on my Waka journey. I have only just started and found this video so helpful. Love the questions that were asked and answered as well. Nga mihi nui

I got to try the 1125, insanely efficient wing. I think practicing on a big pump wing is a great way to learn to pump or dial in your pump. I flap my arms a lot so its nice to work on technique on a big wing. You could probably pump this thing by just nodding your head up and down!

I am not an expert and just a Doctor, but the explanations given by Mr Aguera are the best of the best. You can feel the knowledge and the passion. Everything so easy to understand and above all so true. There is nothing better than GoFoil 😍. The shark story scared us a little 😂, but I will still buy one of the Ps for Wing foiling in Qatar...may be the P-1125-HA with the new black tail...

Is it just me or is GoFoil just the most confusing brand to understand? Its all I've ever ridden but really struggle to digest the nifo Alex gives as it seems so contradictory a lot of the time..

Hand planes have been around a long time maybe even 100+ years. I made them as a kid from Masonite and sealed them with resin. I just used a cupboard hand to hold on to it but it wasn't my invention by far. I now use a molded plastic plane and rarely ware flippers/fins. Fins aren't required when your feet are as big as mine. 🤣😯

mystery solved i like the technical slide at the begining

👍🏽

💚🏜💚 excellent

The reason longer strokes - extending the blade well behind the body, while pressing down-and-aft with the top arm - work, is that the blade is still locked in the water mass, and that you can use it as an anchor point to, in effect, pull your hip *to* your top _pressing hand,_ as it swings down, thus propelling the paddleboard forward, much like poling a boat. As in outrigger canoeing, the faster, shorter, front-powered strokes ( called "huti pe'e" = leaping pull, in Tahitian ), are used mainly for acceleration ( e.g. for sprinting, or catching waves ), as well as for going against the elements ( chop, swell, wind, current ), when the latter snuff the paddleboard's momentum too quickly, and rear-powered strokes won't work anymore. This exertion requires excellent cardio and stamina, however, compared to longer strokes ( "huti roa" and "huti pa'ari" ), which are, by nature, slower, and require more "muscle" ( i.e. slow-twitch fibers ).

Thank you from your videos. Learned a lot watching it.

I could do that if I wanted

Miss you 😢

inspiração total. eu te am odemais garrett

I’m here to learn how to pick up my pace on a single waka. I must be skimming and my next session I’ll work on burying the blade. Cheers John love watching your videos!

Thank you so much for this teaching video on technicalities and techniques. I'm very new to this sport. Learned so much. Please keep them coming. Vinaka vakalevu ( Thanks very much in in the Itaukei language - Fiji).

Y’all got an extra v1 or oc1 lying around? Got damn

Nice. Just got a solid inflatable today and hope to hit Waikiki soon. New so I have to learn but I'm stoked.

I don't surf, but I love to watch these brave men do their thing. Garrett is one of the best and I've followed his career for quite awhile. What he did here was nothing short of miraculous. AMAZING!!!!!

Excellent discussion. I appreciate the first class sound and video. This video tells a beginner everything they need to know to start downwind foil surfing. And it’s free. Great job. Many thanks to Dave Kalama for sharing so much valuable information.

If you wanna learn to paddle properly, watch and learn from the tahitians. This is cringe 😬

I cannot believe that video went for 1.5 hours. And I enjoyed every second of it ! Much respect to you Alex. 👍

It's a hula dance

What is the size of the big one? I’d like to get one for smaller waves.

I'm going from flatwater kayaking with a double bladed paddle, to whitewater kayaking with a single bladed paddle (c1 conversion kayak) so I'm watching all the vids I can about paddling technique. Even though I've been paddling hardcore flatwater for a few years now, this was eye-opening. Thank you!

Looking forward to using this board

So insightful John - thanks for posting

My absolute favourite board!

I’ve been paddling canoes, kayaks for 50 yrs and Dragonboats & O1’s (converted Marathon kayak to Outrigger) since 2003. I’ve recently started paddling OC boats and liked it so much I’ve bought a new paddle. I’ve found that the average paddle length I’ve been advised to use seems very short, even compared to the really short dragonboat paddle (52” max length). I’ve found that I’m having to almost lay flat in an OC6 and hold the shaft about 12” above the blade to get the blade fully buried, (Club paddles are about 48-50”). I’ve bought a double crank paddle & need to cut it down to use (Canoe paddle, came at 60”). I’ve looked at various advice videos and gen advice seems to suggest 54” would be the ideal length for my height and arm length. If I sit on the floor with a paddle next to me, 54” is a comfortable reach. So, I’m after a few more opinions on paddle length for a 5’ 11” paddler with long arms! As a guide, my kayak slalom blades are 210cm and my kayak racing blades 220cm.

Great teaching sessions. Mahalo. I'll be back

Been following him for years never stop learning I always go back & watch
