When it comes to paddling up on a DW SUP Foil, on flat water or in bumps, what is the most important? Pumping, or paddling?

Obviously we need both to be the most effective, but in this test, we find that pumping is the most important to be able to paddle up on foil. The split is probably around 60% pumping effort, 40% paddling effort, to have the best results in the paddle up phase, this can vary depending on the foil setup used.

On this episode, Gwen, Damien and Luc talk about:

- How we learned to Wing Foil and our experiences.

- Importance of mastering the basics and learning how to wing on your knees before standing.
