Today I got my first videos of me foiling. My friend is visiting and he came out and got some really awesome video’s of me foiling. Had a good session although I more or less punched the board and now my first two fingers on my left hand are VERY sore. At least I’m still…
Today was another really gusty day. Took the 4.5 instead of the 3.5 even though I was not sure if I would regret it or not. Quite a few times could barely hang on but very consistent on foils, great rides and even starting to work on my turns a little bit. The weather was…
When I woke up this morning there was already a bit of wind. So I checked online and sure enough, it was good. I thought to myself, lets wait just a bit to see if this is going to hold or just drop off in the next few mins. It did not drop off, but…
When I was first foiling I wore the booties all the time. I know early on something had cut my foot and so I started wearing them. But as I got better I wanted to try getting in and out of the straps without wearing booties. Plus it just felt nice! Well, that time is…
Having used swimming headphones for awhile now, decided to finally get a bluetooth headset for foiling. SO MUCH FUN! Since I can pull all kinds of crazy stuff with my friend I called him while I was on the water. Actually talked to him while I was foiling! Honestly it was kind of amazing and…
Yesterday was 4 days in a row, and wow. I was SERIOUSLY tired. The wind was up as I checked out of the AirBNB so I got into my wet suit and drove down. By the time I rigged up it was already blowing pretty good. Once on the water it was even better. I…
iwindsurf says it was around 15, and there were gusts up to 30mph! And it certainly felt like it! Was out for about two and a half hours and I am so totally tired that I can almost hardly move. I tried a outdoor recliner and seriously though I wasn’t going to be able to…
This is my second day in Hood River on my current trip. Did some work in the morning and wasn’t really thinking about going out. But Peter texted me and asked me about the 6.0 wing that he had and if I wanted to try it. So of course I couldn’t say no, and at…
Was going to be home this week, but someone booked the place so it seemed like I should use the opportunity to get in a few more days on the water. Drove down and it was pretty good. Not super windy but got in some solid runs and more time on the water. I’m consistently…
Had another great afternoon just off the Hook. Was on my 4.5 and it was VERY gusty. One run I wouldn’t even get up on the foil. The next run I could barely hang on to the wing! I really do need to get a new leash though. Today was like yesterday, when there’s a…
