Fear not, as we will guide you through the process step by step, ensuring you get up and start riding the waves in no time!
1. Find the Right Equipment
Before getting started, it’s important to make sure you have the right equipment. At AUSWatersports, we offer high-quality E-Foils with adjustable mast lengths, ensuring that riders of all skill levels can find the perfect setup. Our E-Foils come with a handheld controller that allows you to control the speed and power of the board. Additionally, we provide all necessary safety gear, such as life jackets and helmets, to ensure a safe riding experience.
2. Start in Calm Water
For beginners, it’s important to start in calm water with minimal waves. Find a secluded bay or beach where the water is relatively flat and free from obstacles. This will help you feel more comfortable and build confidence before progressing to more challenging conditions.
3. Position Yourself Correctly
When preparing to get up on the E-Foil, position yourself over the center of the board. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, with your front foot slightly forward of your back foot. This balanced stance will provide stability as you begin to rise out of the water.
4. Apply Steady Pressure
Once you’re in position, begin applying steady pressure with your feet on the board. This will activate the E-Foil and start propelling you forward. As the board starts to move, keep your weight centered and maintain a slightly bent knee position to absorb any shock or vibrations.
5. Gradually Rise Out of the Water
As the E-Foil gains speed and lift, gradually rise out of the water using your leg muscles. Start with a slight bend in your knees and gradually straighten them as you rise. Keep your gaze forward and focus on maintaining your balance, using your core muscles to stabilize your body.
6. Stay Relaxed and Adjust
Once you have successfully risen out of the water, it’s important to stay relaxed and adjust your stance as needed. Allow your body to adapt to the natural movements of the board, using subtle shifts in weight to control your direction and balance.
Remember, learning to E-Foil takes time and practice, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t master it immediately. With patience and persistence, you’ll soon be gliding effortlessly across the water, feeling the exhilaration of this incredible watersport.
