What are good spots for Prone Foiling?Updated 2 months ago
The best spots for Prone Foiling are often remote and far away from the common surf beaches. Foils can be very intimidating for surfers laying in the water, so please always stay far away from classic surfers and line-ups. This foiling discipline allows you to take advantage of less ideal conditions for great sessions and offers you a perfect way to escape the crowds. Ideal spots for beginners are offshore sandbanks where the waves break gently. These breaks offer a flat and easy start, giving you time to foil towards the shore and gain control of your foil. It becomes much more difficult if you have to ride directly “down the line” or immediately pump over the white water to get to the next wave.
It's very important to choose spots without hidden obstacles under the waters surface, like rocks, shallow reef or shallow sandbars. Make sure your spot is at least chest deep, so you avoid contact with the bottom and have the ability to duck dive through waves without touching.
