Does foiling make you push your surfing a bit more?
I don't know for Casso, but I haven't foiled for 3 weeks (perfect glassy waves, no much crowds, I am thus SUPing), and I definitely feel that my surfing has been improved by foiling, specifically then using longSUPs, I have much more glide now to carry me over fat sections, I even perform the "foil pumping" motion to keep the glide: a subtle pumping with a gentle and progressive push forwards, only at 45 degrees with the board rather than directly forwards, (the pumping is oriented perpendicular to the wave: towards the beach).
Thanks to the foil, I am now much more aware of the board planing or not, which can be a subtle transition with longboard SUPs.
