This manual is based on the knowledge I have acquired through learning by watching videos, reading forums and other people’s experiences. I try to write the manual that I missed when I started, and the guidelines I followed to learn pumpfoil/dockstart in only 15 days, despite having no previous experience in foil sports.
I’m not an expert yet, but I think that sometimes advice from someone who is a bit ahead of your level and was recently at your level is better than advice from a pro who no longer remembers the feeling of being at your level. An expert can tell you what the perfect pump is like, but not what the next challenge is that you should try to advance your progression. Even if that advice is not an optimal movement, it can be interesting to go through it to learn.
It should also be noted that there is no rule, everyone has their own experience and opinion about what is best. Some people find one thing works for them and others don’t, so you may see people suggesting things that are different from mine. I will suggest what has worked for me or what I think is more efficient based on my experience. And in the comments of each chapter you can always put your impressions.
The idea is that the manual will be constantly expanded and updated with new knowledge and experiences that it acquires.
