I can foil behind a boat. I can wing foil a bit.

no one ever told me 'Don't jump off the front'. So I thought I would give SUP foiling a try at Ggerroa. I was paddling out and was faced with an overhead height Wave that was crumbling at the top. I paddled up the face and jumped over the froth thinking that would be a safe outcome. I was very wrong. The board flung straight up into the air and the nose hit me harder than I've ever been hit by anything right on the flat part of my shin just below the knee.

Seven days later I'm still pretty bruised and swollen.

Today, I'm going wing foiling. I can't get enough!

I'm guessing jumping back isn't a good idea either? To the side then?

Best advice I have gotten is the X. Go to any corner. Seems to make sense. But yeah, the front is no bueno.

Hey, I,ve broken two paddles going over the front , I must hold them out as a defensive block. Reduced to building paddles out of old parts. haha

I also jumped off the front once, broke a rib & was out for 6 weeks lol.

This is my preferred method of leaving the board
