They're more exciting than SUP by far, and very adaptable to every discipline (kite, windsurf, prone paddle, SUP, etc). Where I was struggling to paddle in on a 9'6" SUP, my buddy on the foil (that's his board that PPK posted) was taking two or three paddles and then pumping the foil onto the wave and taking off.
Sunset Cliffs will be a great place for foiling, especially at high tide when its not quite breaking.
While surfing I saw Laird and someone else in his little aluminum boat, coming back in, with foils in the boat. So I guess you can continue to blame him.
Pretty cool to see the enthusiasm of the foiling tribe. Its refreshing to see so much stock.
Here is a pic of TJ foiling last week on a non-breaking swell. If you want a foil, he is a distributor (except for HI). PM me and I'll put you in touch with him. No, I don't get any $$ for that.
That is exciting at this point.
Yep, the cool thing about foils is they don't need to surf quality waves in a crowded line up.....
What will be exciting is when they do (might?) enter a crowded line up and the waves are really pumping, double over head plus, in waves that have some degree of consequence.
That would be something to see....
Still waiting for the sends, tomahawks and scorpions.... I guess I will have to wait and see.
.....I am goingoutside now....we all know the feeling of being caught inside.....
...I wonder what it feels like to be caught inside on a big day with a foil?
