Cash should not be allowed to foil anymore. He has taken foiling to an ‘adults only’ explicit level. Cash rips and deserves the credit he has earned for pushing the boundaries on how foils can be ridden.
Hope it’s ok to share it… Gave full credit to the channel It doesn’t work for standup paddle, because you can’t get the board to pump as easily to initially get onto foil. But yeah switch stance once up and you can carve your SUPfoil etc. this magic knee works best with boards that implement a forward slanting deck. An incline from stern to bow. Starting to see it more in the newest designs. Starboard etc
Hey Trev - you're very welcome. Get out there and any time you feel the board climbing the elevator shaft toward breach or when you come over the back side of the wave - drop the knee. Have fun! Thanks for checking out the video. Tim
Thanks for the tip. Here in Switzerland we try to catch the waves of the Course Boats. The waves are quite low, but with a big foil nice to catch. Nevertheless it is not that easy to stay in the „sweet spot“. Often I drop, when I get over the top behind the wave or I get into the „valley“ of the wave and it sucks you down. Any tips how to handle the waves in general? Or an instruction Video🙃. Cheers Martin from Zurich.
Hi Martin -- Very cool that you're giving a shout out to us from Zurich! Thank you for checking out the video. Hopefully you subscribed so we can claim that we now have a friend in Zurich :-) Yes -- small waves are technical to ride. It actually takes more wave knowledge than a big wave to stay on them. A lot of it is visual - how you see the wave. I'm not familiar with 'Course Boats' - unless that means tournament ski boats. I've done a log of riding behind that type of boat. Here's the top tips: 1) Eyes - keep an eye on the back corner of the boat to help orient your line. 2) Stay high on your foil - Most foils (especially the bigger ones) are more responsive when you're higher on the mast. 3) No where the trough is and stay out of it. I know....sounds self evident...but it's not. A lot of time when people are learning to drop the rope, they get in front of the wave, thinking they are on it....but they're in the trough and lose momentum. Having someone video you while you ride with shed the truth. Think about working the ridge line. Take that ridge line from deep (further away from source) toward the boat. 4) Inside turns are your friend. You can use an aggressive inside turn to reposition yourself on the wave and to refresh your visual. It also helps you become badass at wave transfers. In the end - small wave riding is a fundamental skill so rejoice in the little waves knowing that you'll be able to shred the bigger waves. I hope that helps - and - thank you for the next video idea! Come to Seattle and ride with us sometime. Best Tim

Great video and tip.
It's like snowboarding on a directional snowboard where you bring the rear knee forward to the front leg.
Look at that -- I just became a better snowboarder. Thank you for making that connection!

Surfers know it as the drop knee turn. Great tool for pitch control at high speed. Nobody does it better than Cash Berzolla!
Cash Berzolla is the man! Great kid and one helluva foiler.
