ok, got some photos off my gopro. it seems like our first foil day was years ago. luckily photos never get too old…
we pull up to the lineup and see a foil surfer in the water. really??? the guy had his private boat towing him into big waves. really??? so the friendly guy i am goes up to him and says “hey mate, how’s it going!” we start talking as he was glad to see us. you see, foilers love foilers. anyway, the guy says “grab the rope and give it a go.” i say “what? really? ok!” haha. 
i grab the rope as it’s my first time towing in on the foil board. half of me was stoked and the other half of me was holding on for my life. 
the boat man tows me into the most amazing first wave. i was screaming like a little kid on a Disneyland ride! 
then Tony grabs the rope and gives it a go. i’m foiling on the side filming the whole thing. it was the coolest thing ever. i can’t believe we’re foiling in Bali! 
in Bali, there is so much rubbish in the ocean. the water is clean, but there is plastic everywhere. but foiling and plastic don’t mix. i kept on falling down when i ran over a plastic bag. yuck… 
but once i’m back up, life is good again. to all my family and friends in Hawaii, us boys are living our dream lives right now. my friend text me to say that the South Swell in Hawaii is going off. i didn’t even reply because that’s the very last thing on my mind right now. 
hanging out with Kelia, Seth, Tony, my Brother, and other friends here in Bali has been amazing. this was one of my big dreams when i started traveling 30 year ago. and finally those days have come! 
luckily we’re here with Jeff Cantrel who is a photographer. he was on our boat capturing the peaceful moments. check out the next few photos. here is Tony Moniz the legend foiler! 
Peter King is the funniest guy you’ll ever meet. get him on the foil and he’s even funnier. how cool is this shot? 
i paddled out without a top and paid the price. jellyfish and sea lice stings all over my body. scratching all night so couldn’t dream about foiling. haha…
this day was Tony’s as he got the best rides and best photos. i want to thank the foil for bringing me so much closer to this true Hawaiian legend. it’s like 35 years ago when we use to surf together every day on the North Shore. now, we’re flying together in Indonesia!!! oh and yeah, we’re actually here to support Seth. forgot about him. haha….
