What are good spots and starting places for Pump Foiling?Updated 2 months ago

When choosing a spot for Pump Foiling, pay special attention to a suitable platform, swimming island, or the right launch dock that fits your stance (Regular or Goofy). The ideal height for the dock is about 10 cm below the length of your mast. An ideal area is a section of the dock where you can easily place the front wing under the dock or platform during the start. It's advisable to have 2 to 3 meters of space to run up at the beginning.
Always be aware of surrounding obstacles when starting: there should be no people swimming or being in the water nearby. It's also important to have sufficient water depth so that your foil does not touch the bottom, providing you with enough water for crashing. Additionally, conditions with little to no wind and as calm water as possible are recommended.
