Straight Jump

Just jump straight ahead

Jumping - or, more precisely, taking off - in wing foiling is achieved by steering the foil in an arc-shaped motion:

Downward movement:
During the downward movement, the foil is steered lower (lowering the nose of the board) - but in such a way that the board's bottom does not touch the water's surface.

Takeoff:
Just before the board touches the water, tilt the foil upward (keep the nose of the board pointing up). Maintain this angle. The foil pushes the board out of the water. At the same time, lift the wing with your front hand so that the wind can catch beneath the wing during takeoff.

Flight phase:
Lean your body weight onto the wing and bend your knees slightly. Don't turn into the wind during the jump; instead, continue jumping straight ahead. To do this, push the wing slightly forward.

Landing:
To land, extend your legs slightly; when the foil makes contact with the water, bend your knees to cushion the landing. As soon as the board touches the water, you can angle the foil more sharply again to use your speed to get back up on the foil.
