    • I am Wind Powered

I am wind powered: a blog about my adventures with the wind

  • Short session, but a nice session

    Since its nearing the end of the season it seemed like a good idea to get out when there was wind. By the time I was out on the water the wind was already dropping. But I got a few good rides and a nice session. Time on the water is never wasted. One thing…

  • Still wind, still going

    After having a few weeks of not much wind I finally got back on the foil. Went out yesterday but there wasn’t enough wind. Went out today and it was just right, maybe a bit much in the channel. Yesterday was actually really good since it was the first time I launched from waterfront park.…

  • So much weed

    Pretty sure I recall last season having a lot of weed but it seems even worse this year. Trying to go upwind only meant more and more weeds. Can’t count the times I got flung and catapulted off the board! But, it was still a great session. The wind was gusting to 27mph and so…

  • Video!

    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…

  • Handling it

    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…

  • Not quite dawn patrol

    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…

  • Shoes or not

    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…

  • Technology

    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…

  • 4 in a row

    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…

  • So Good, So tired!

    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…
