Welcome to the first lesson of the Complete Guide to Downwind Foiling, today we focus on gear and paddling technique with 3 drills out on the flatwater. Thanks @SGraymediaco and my brother Callum for filming these episodes. (also I spelt equipment wrong on the video... ahhh well.)

If you prefer to learn from reading instead of visuals I have attatched a google docs below where you can read the notes that I made for these lessons, they will be constantly updated. If anything I recommend changes it will be in these notes:
