And on the 6th week plummet said "let there be HF jumping" and thus did he jump. And the jumping was good!

Woooo ****en hooooo.... Hydrofoil jumping is in the house! yeha.


Pretty damn cool riding along with a 3 foot ramp bolted to the bottom of your board...

No. 8m in 15-20 knots. No record breaking insane height Maybe 6 foot max. I'm just freaken stoked to be getting air. Thought it would take like a year before I could step into airtime.

This is not about how good I am. I am quite frankly a terrible newbie foiler. This is about stoke. And i'm stoke as faaaaark!

Good on you Plummet, I can only go green from envy! Just got myself a hydrofoil - complete disaster so far, can't even ride it without trying to hydrofoil, it is like trying to ride a bull, throws me off when I try to get on it
HF jumps look so cool - hoping to get there one day

Haha yes please set it up on the foil mast. That would be a cool view. Bit of drag though perhaps.

My foil jumps nicely too but tends to leave me behind in most cases. Think the trick is called banana flip.

Old in there man. At first it seems impossibly foreign and there is definitely a period of continuous smack downs. But the smack downs become less and the foil sections become longer.

This has some good tips in it.

Just back from a nice foil session. All those getting into it. Do yourself a favour and get a helmet.

Not only does it protect your ear drums from those crashes.

I had my bar tangled up in the foil twice now resulting in unintended loops and being pulled into the board/foil. Man that Enduro loops well. Helmet made this stunt feel a lot smoother.

The other side effect I am still getting used to is that poleys give me a thumbs up now and not the usual middle finger. Awkward but nice.

They're just worried that if they're not polite, you'll change tack and cut them in half
