Where are you getting all these boards surfdad? I'm contemplating a new board to downsize from my 4'8". Maybe 4'4".

You are lucky, looks in France we still have to wait 2 weeks, which is 2 months !!As you guys who have been out of the water get back in, tell me what you feel. Do you find it's easier to get back on a foil after a break, than it is to get back on a surfboard after a break?
Sure it took me a few waves to get my feet back in the right spot. First three waves I let my self fall early to be safe. But overall, in that session I felt I was back to where I should be. On a surfboard it takes a few sessions to get back to where you should be after a month+ out of the water.
Nice, rivermouth can be good for foiling if it gets wide open and deep, it creates the perfect rolling wave we are looking for.Hdip moaning about no content so i made this...
some waves from a session a few weeks back at my local rivermouth, one of my favourite foil waves, 99% of the time i'm out there alone.
gong pro large wing (circumsized), chopped standard tail wing.
yup, def feel like foiling is more mental sharpness compared to surfing being very physically memory oriented on top of that.As you guys who have been out of the water get back in, tell me what you feel.

they aren't that wide really compared to some places you see but they're good for unbroken swell riding that's for sure, the power to height is always good in the rivers compared to beach breaks i find, funny how we look for good energy in foiling over shape in surfing.Nice, rivermouth can be good for foiling if it gets wide open and deep, it creates the perfect rolling wave we are looking for.
You're riding really low in the water. It seems like at times you're barely hanging on to the wave, and I'm thinking that if you had less mast in the water you'd not be having any trouble at all. Same goes for pumping by the way, the secret to conserving energy is staying as high in the water as you can - less drag, less effort.
