- Hi, my name is Joshua Ku, Team rider for Unifoil and absolute lover of Downwind SUP foiling. Today I'm going to run through tips for those of you coming from zero SUP background that want to get into SUP downwind.

I participate in a lot of paddle sports "Anything past your Hips is a Waist" ;) My (63 yrs 72 kg) progression 1. Balance/Stroke technique on Race SUP, 2. DWSUPF (long mast) A. Flat Water endurance, B. Flat Water Sprint sets, C. Flat Water Pop Ups, D. Flat Water (Strong Side Shore wind) Pop and Ride (no Waves). Just getting into Waves now :)
Well explained, although a few folks who really know SUP are cringing , (HAHA) looking forward to seeing how you learn over the months and years ahead, all that said for a downwinding video this is about s good as we have seen. For sure a part of the sport that is exploding right now. Thanks for making and sharing it.
Skip the bay and head straight to the gorge! Good advice on all fronts, thanks.
Really enjoyed that video. You provided a great explanation of all the variables. Had a good laugh at the moments when your neighbour decided to start his renovation….suprised you remain so composed…Thanks for the vid…any tips for a prone foiling for a beginner?
Solid vid. Nice to see the Bullet; beautiful board.
Mate, so many good tips all in one place, that the best compilation I've seen. Thank you!
Thanks for the break down.
Great video Josh, can’t wait to try the tips.
When I learned to foil I put some electrical tape on the rails of the board indicating where my mast was which helped me with my backfoot placement
excellent clinic! thanks!
Thanks, awesome straight talk advice and clear as!
Great video! Thanks
excellent tutorial. really excellent. thank you
I have just started watching this and I can tell it is a really great tutorial. Thank you!
Okay, I finished it. A most excellent tutorial!
That was awesome thank you!
Great vid!
Thanks Alex glad you like it!
what would you consider a bay on Maui? knowing that you've visited this island. thanks for shearing this video with the world.
Just FYI. I just visited your website and you have span of foils in cm instead of mm. (For example 985 cm) . 1cm = 10mm. 1”=25.4mm.
Such a good watch. Thanks Kosh. Could you tell us the dims of custom bullet? Gorgeous looking weapon 🤤
Great video ❤🎉😅 THX

Great advice and very well done! Just starting the DW foil journey. Any advice for those of us that are strong paddlers and sup surfers but have Zero foil experience. What are some ways to get used to the feeling of being up on foil?
Thanks very much!!
@finbox1000 a great way to get the feel as quickly as possible is to log some time behind a boat or a jetski, starting in the flat water and then hit the waves when you feel ready.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank You 🙏🏽. What's your set up for Prone surfing? 800mm, medium fuselage, progression 140?
What board is that? the Dragonfly is extremely expensive, so I'm looking for alternatives.
Thanks, this is helpful I'm about 65kg on a 99 litre 7ft dw , I can sup and surf foil but struggling with the paddle never paddled how your explaining, I will try this . I just have a normal sup Surf paddle, do I really need one of these bigger dw paddles?
You don’t but it helps if your technique is bad
@@joshku1990 can you say more about pushing down with your top hand?
Do you use the 95 or 105 blade? And your weight? Does it has some flex ?
