Further information
This course begins with a brief theory on the Hydrofoil board and safe handling. Also, about Kitefoiling, the instructor explains the difference from regular Kiteboarding in the board management during waterstart and weight distribution while riding.
Followingly the student bodydrags with the foil board until deep enough water. The first attempts are carefully instructed by the teacher that is constantly connected to the student via radio helmet. It is important that the student has the level of relaunching the kite in very light wind conditions when hydrofoiling is often practiced.
Learning to waterstart and ride with the Hydrofoil board is a matter of changing the handling of the board with the weight for take-off and maintaining the floatation above the water. Once this is acquired after a couple of hours of lessons, it will come easier to progress to riding upwind and downwind in the following couple of hours as well.
