November 22nd: e-foil - First stage completed -
viva-wingfoilAs expected, the wind doesn't blow in Enoshima in winter.
The wind was weak today, so I didn't hesitate. e-foil I asked for it.
To be honest, I feel like
I want to graduate from the first stage of e-foil today. I thought so.
E-foil is definitely helping.
But ultimately, what I want to do is the Wing.
For that reason, I want to take a break today.
The wind was weak, but for some reason the sea was rough.
There are small undulations, so-called Choppy Conditions。
During these three e-foil lessons,
This is definitely the most difficult situation.
Before floating with the foil,
The board is constantly shaking,
Even just standing there requires attention.
If you let your guard down for a moment, you'll lose your balance.
However――
Even in such a situation, if you carefully consider the position of your center of gravity,
From the very first one, I was able to float easily and stably.
Once you float, the world changes.
Thanks to the Foil, rough seas are hardly noticeable.
While negating the small swells below,
The board moves forward quietly but surely.
If it's a straight line,
It really seems like you can go anywhere.
However, turns are different.
On choppy waters,
There is little room in the vertical direction,
A small mistake can cause the foil to slip out of the water.
Otherwise, the board will touch the water surface.
If that happens, it will sink immediately.
nevertheless,
Through the accumulation of practice so far,
Although it was quite nerve-wracking,
It was now possible to make a turn.
Before you know it,
Consecutive turns, figure eight turns,
Long-distance straight sailing
They roam the ocean almost freely.
"Now, e-foil has done everything it needs to do."
That feeling naturally arose.
Of course, the body is honest.
Always keep your hips down,
As we continue to maintain a balance,
It puts a lot of strain on the legs.
Your thighs and calves, in particular, will definitely wear out.
The last part,
My legs got tired, and I couldn't stand,
The ride was packed with frequent breaks.
The last one is,
My feet wouldn't listen,
The game ended without a turn.
I was left feeling a little regretful.
"I need to train my legs at the gym."
I vow to myself.
nevertheless--
In these three intensive e-foil practice sessions,
I've reached a level where I can run around almost freely. There is no doubt about it.
Worn with e-foil
・How to find the center of gravity
・Posture at the moment of floating
- Stability on rough seas
All of these are directly connected to the Wing-foil.
Next up is the Wing.
With this feeling in mind,
Wing-foil for quick floatation,
I want to be able to run freely.
Today, the first stage is complete.
From here on, Practice getting closer to the sky.
