Pump Foil Dock Start - How to Knee Glide & Knee Start
Mon 27 Apr 2026Your dock start progression with pump foiling can easily pass through the point of knee starting as you get better and rapidly transition getting to your feet, pumping away across the lake like a legend.
Some people are stick with to just knee start their dock starting until they succeed. I made the mistake of knee starting until I succeeded at dock starting as it did make me feel safe.
The trouble is that the knee start requires a lot of steps to pump away.
- Knee on the board in the right position and push off the dock.
- Get front foot to correct position at the front of the broad.
- Lifting knee and getting back foot into position.
- Standing and pumping away.
This is something I did and it added one month and a lot of time wasted because I was a little scared. I can only suggest that people avoid doing this by doing a few knee starts to understand what's going on and then get through the fear factor of stepping straight onto the board.
This is made easier if you have the right equipment and luckily the Foiling Frenzy dockstart setup is ideal for beginners through advanced.
