Progression Road Map that REALLY WORKS!
I’ve put together a Progression Road Map breaking down the 3 different levels of riding. The Safe Rider being the foundation level. Here you’ll want to pay extra attention. Yes, it’s the boring stuff. However imo it’s the MOST important. It’s full of techniques that we look over… maybe because we can still enjoy and have so much fun on the eFoil without some of the fundamentals?
The reason why this stage is so important is that when you get to the point of progression or working on something new, these fundamentals must be dialed in order to ascend to the next level.
The Smooth Rider is the second level of our progression. Here the rider should have all the fundamentals engrained into their movement’s. You’ll notice your riding to be more effortless, smoother with less touchdowns and much more forgiving falls.
In this stage we are going to be stepping up a bit with footwork & throttling techniques. The idea is to bring these two closer together to eventually become fully autonomous in our riding.
The Final stage of the progression road map is entering into the Ride Fast level. I don’t want you to think this is only for racers, speed demons, or young guys. Really this Riding Fast means you’re able to drive the EFoil like it’s an extension of your body. You’re able to accelerate & decelerate while maintaining the same height on the mast, you’re able to throttle in higher gears 15+, preferably gear 20.
At this stage you will learn front foot movements, wing breaches, hot launches, vortex launch and so much more. The Fast Rider is the safest and smoothest rider on the water and will open up an entire new world of eFoiling for you.
This roadmap is 150% doable for all ages and skill levels. How much you put into the Academy is what you will get out. I highly encourage sharing your videos, experiences, questions, results with everyone in the academy. You’ll be amazed on how quickly you’re eFoiling advances.
Let me in know what you guys think!
