Foil SUP / Stance question

« on: September 11, 2020, 02:44:59 PM »

So... I have a Lift Efoil- super fun, especially in surf with the folding prop.
I am trying to get into regular surf SUP foiling. Tricky. :-)

But - Lift explicitly says to offset feet from the center line for better control. (e.g.   - See at 2:18.)

I hear that on an unpowered foil this is a bad idea?
I paddle in and stand up surf, too, and have my feet on the center line for them, but it does seem to have more lateral control on a lift foil when offset - and I would have thought anything where I am that elevated on the mast would act the same...

So is the correct stance on the center line, always?

Advice (and reasons) appreciated!
Thanks

Foil SUP / Breaks to learn to SUP foil near Venice?

« on: July 20, 2020, 05:34:36 PM »

Hi all.
I'm spending time in LA a bunch visiting my girlfriend. What are good breaks to learn to SUP foil around here?
Mushy, sandy bottom, not steep...
And not crowded. :-)
In an old thread I saw El Porto mentioned - but that always seem to to have too many surfers out for me to be comfortable learning.

Any tips?
Thanks!
