Intermediate foiling is the stage where progression either takes off or quietly stalls out. In this honest, unscripted conversation, Jeff and Tucker from MACkite break down the three things that most often hold intermediate foilers back and how to push through to the advanced level.

They cover why time on the water beats everything else, including the value of foil drive, wake foiling, and kite foiling, to log more sessions when the wind will not cooperate. They dig into gear, explaining why an oversized foil that felt safe as a beginner is often the exact thing stalling your turns, jibes, and tacks, and how to size down without hating the experience. Finally, they get real about the rider in the mirror, the comfort zone that quietly stops your growth, and why falling more is usually a sign you are finally learning again.

Whether you ride a wing, a kite, a parawing, or get towed behind a boat, this discussion applies across every foil discipline.
