G’day thanks for the tips, I’m old surfer too but new user just got the Foildrive & I’m on a Naish Hover Wing SUP 125lt with Axis 75 or 85cm mast & 1050HP Front wing or 890BSC, just seeing you pump I’m tossing up whether i need a bigger front wing or go a smaller board. What size is your front wing ? Hooroo 🤙
I'd definitely go smaller on the board! In the video, I'm using the Axis PNG 1300. It's great for flat water pumping and really small bumps (chop). For everything else, it's too big.

ua-cam.com/video/y5BewJWMg3s/v-deo.htmlsi=Bx5iQuq-b1Qj_nOM This is some of the best video I’ve seen about getting up on the board. I just received my max about a week ago and have been out three times. I had a lot of trouble just standing up on it so spent a lot of time working on dialing in the throttle control with the phone app. This is well worth the time. Now that I feel comfortable on my knees, I believe I can start modeling the steps you are taking. I did a deep dive into your video to break the steps down into very small bite-size chunks that I think I can handle. Here’s a clip of my observations. Again, thanks for such a great video capturing the initial steps. I’m looking forward to trying it out in a few days.
Wow! That is some serious video analyzing. I do the same thing! I took the gen 2 out on a 12 liter board the other day and was able to get up. Wasn't easy. Training your trigger finger to stay steady while your body reacts to all sorts of other things is quite a challenge. Good luck and please let me know how it goes.
@@lakechamplainkitenwing I am learning now on diy drive. Nobody actually shows how to do that and even to start learning in an unordered choppy sea water. And on top of that with the wing in these realistic conditions. It is always this glass lake water or smooth swells of Australia .... Common Or using these small prone boards , small foils... As if it is obvious doing the motor assist already when knowing foil and knowing surfing waves. I am doing it from the opposite - using assist to learn foil, waves and wind faster
My old-guy thoughts exactly! 👍

So you are transitioning from sitting to standing already in planing phase before taking off, I will try it.
Took a couple of tries. Have fun!!

@@vim55k Amazing how you need to train your finger to do its own thing. 👆

With wing?
Haven't tried yet. Maybe this week. :)

@@vim55k Gen 2 put out a video last week showing how to get going in the waves. J-TURNS!!! Very very helpful!
