How difficult is prone foiling?Updated 2 months ago

Compared to other water sports like Wing Foiling and kite surfing, Prone Foiling is notably more challenging to learn. But becoming a skilled surfer also takes significant time and practice—you don't just drop into a heavy barrel without serious dedication first.

Prone Foiling is often considered the supreme Foiling discipline and is regarded as one of the hardest forms of foiling. It’s all about harnessing the power of the waves and combining it with your own physical skills and effort. 

Using electric Foil Assist technologies, such as the new option from DUOTONE, can simplify the learning process. It allows you to gain experience with the waves before mastering take-offs, where you only use the power of the breaking waves; you can get up on the foil with e-power instead. This can be a valuable next step on your journey to becoming a true Prone Foiler.

A great tool to learn is also the Duotone Academy, which gets updated with new tutorial videos for all foiling disciplines regularly.
