Small change. Massive difference.

Hand position on the boom or handles is one of those things that sounds almost too simple to matter. Shift your hands back by five or ten centimetres and suddenly your wing stabilises, the load balances between your arms, and riding feels a whole lot less like a fight.

I see so many wingfoilers struggling with a twitchy wing, exhausted shoulders, or a wing that won't come down out of the sky — and nine times out of ten, hand position is the reason.

In my latest video I break down exactly why it happens and how to fix it. Worth a watch before your next session.

If your foot changes feel rushed or unstable, this is a really common reason why.

Most riders stop short with their front foot, which leaves everything too close together and harder to control under pressure.

There’s a simple fix for it.

I’ve broken it down properly in a full video, including a drill you can practise on the beach and how to apply it on the water.

Let me know if this is something you’ve struggled with.

Sometimes small changes can make all the difference and for kitefoiling even more so. If you stance is slightly wrong the impact on your consistency and your ability to progress can be restricted. So watch the video and take a look at your riding see if there are any places you can make some tweaks and see improvements...

In the video I cover:
🔸 Back Foot Angle – The Small Change That Makes a Big Difference
🔸 Stance Width – Finding the Perfect Balance for Stability & Control
🔸 Weight Forward & Get Low – Fixing the “Broken Waist” Mistake
🔸 The Toeside “Teapot” – How to Stop Sticking Your Arm Out

Want to improve your kitefoiling technique and ride with more control and efficiency? In this video, I’m going to breakdown four key body position adjustment...

I see so many forum post and social media comments asking what is Foil X like compared to Foil Y? What foil will be the right one for me?

Well I got the chance to try the new-ish F-one SK8 550, part of a range of foils that are more know for winging or surf foiling, but it seemed a good opportunity to compare it to my trusty Escape 630 and see how it works for kitefoiling.

It will come as no surprise that it was pretty damn good! F-one makes amazing foils, its why I ride them, but what is more interesting is to look a little deeper at the design characteristics of the two foils. Then see how that affects the riding characteristics of them both.

I also look at how the SK8 range might work in the larger sizes for kitefoiling and some ideas on the cross over potential between kitefoiling and winging.

Love to know anyone riding SK8’s for kitefoiling, what they like about them and any cross over they are making work with winging or surf foiling.

We’ve just rounded off an awesome week of kitefoil coaching in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, working alongside FeelViana Hotel with our travel partner Planet Travel Holidays .

We had a tricky start to the week with a big storm system hovering off the coast in the Atlantic, stopping the thermals and bringing in lots of erratic weather. ⛈🌊 But this gave us sometime to get some key fundamental techniques covering in our video briefings, a key part of every Progression Live Camp.

Then after some spot scouting we managed to find a location up the coast that worked well in the southerly winds and offered us a break from the huge swell that was pounding Viana’s beaches. Everyone was put through their paces with changing conditions but we managed to adapt stances and tweak foil setups to ensure everyone was maximising their time on the water and kick off several days of foiling progress!

The latter part of the week has us returned to the Viana do Castelo we know and love ❤️. Perfect flat water and a moderate thermal kicking in mid afternoon gave everyone the opportunity to push their riding forwards another notch and everyone was ripping around after the harder conditions we had before. It just goes to show that the tricky conditions make us a much more rounded foiler, and we can get something out of every session.

Thank you to all the guests this week - Justin, Colleen, Michaela, Matthias, Roger, Roberto, Mark and David - you stuck in there through the tough beginning and got the sweet reward at the end of the week of foot changes, downloops and various tacks, to name just a few.

📆 We'll be returning to Viana do Castelo for 3 camps in 2023 (in May and September) - along with several other locations. Get in touch if you are keen to book your spot or join our coaching mailing list to be the first to find out when the full calendar is released:

As I get more people signing up for Virtual Coaching, more GoPro footage is coming through with that annoying thing where half way around a gybe or tack the picture goes upside down! My neck was getting sore trying to review these clips but thanks to Gavin Young and his perfectly submitted footage there is a solution! If you have a GoPro 9 or 10 you can use the MAX Lens Mod setting to keep the shots level the whole time - the best bit, you don't have to use the additional lens attachment to take advantage of this feature.

So I wrote up the steps for how to setup your GoPro 9/10 for anyone who wants to stop standing on their head 🙃! And it makes comparing your footage to my library footage so much clearer during Virtual Coaching session 💡

Have you had that annoying situation with your GoPro line mounted footage where you go into a trick the correct way up and exit upside down! This often requires more complicated editing or that annoying turning of the head to watch upside down 🙃 Thankfully the newer GoPro Hero’s cameras (9 and ...
