How to Start a Sinker Wingfoil Board (Stinkbug Start)
Struggling to waterstart? Check this out.
The stinkbug start – how to waterstart a low volume wingfoil board that sinks under you. I’m 70kg on a 56L board.
5 steps in slow motion:
1. Feet on the board – NOT knees – butt in the water
2. Crouch tight over the centerline (sinking is fine)
3. Sheet in overhead – let the wing pull you up
4. Board surfaces – stay low until stable
5. Extend slowly + pump onto the foil
Also works on narrow boards and choppy days when kneeling feels impossible.
