New workshop in our blog: How do you jump with an eFoil? Tips for e-foil ollies
1) Start
Moderate speed. Choose an area that you can freely exit after landing. Look where you want to land.
2) Preload
Bend your knees. Hips low. Upper body compact. Center of gravity centered over the board. Feet flat. No pressure on the toes.
3) Set the edge
Minimal edging. 2–5 degrees is enough. Goal: to “load” the wing, not shoot it sideways.
4) Initiate pop
Lean back briefly to raise the nose slightly. Extend your legs explosively. That’s the pop. At the same time, give a short trigger impulse. It only takes a moment. The motor is the booster, not the elevator.
5) Body posture in the air
Front knee to chest. This keeps your center of gravity low and centered. Shoulders relaxed. Mast axis neutral. No large tilt angles. Continue to hold the trigger gently. Do not go full throttle to prevent the motor from overheating.
6) Prepare for landing
Look ahead. Level the board. Mast vertical. Pull the trigger slightly just before touchdown to dampen the descent phase.
7) Landing and extending
Land flat. Cushion the impact. Then lean forward slightly and continue smoothly. Stabilize first, then build up speed.
