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 over. I got another hole in my foot today bad enough that there was blood and I was wondering if I was going to have to ask for a bandage and if it was going to stop bleeding. Finally it did but walking on it now still hurts and there was a bit of blood still just from walking down the street.
So, tomorrow it’s back to some shop to see if I can find a pair of booties I can tolerate better than the ones I have now. They must be at least 8 years old by now. Well worn!
How as the wind today? It was ok, for certain I’m learning exactly just how to pump and get up on the foil in just enough wind. But even that is still pretty tiring. After not having enough wind to foil and having my foot bother me I called it today. And I’m already hoping my foot isn’t so bad that I can’t go tomorrow. I’ve still got 3 more days left!!! Hopefully 4!
