foiling has gotten so big in Hawaii that it’s actually getting very competitive. every body wants to be better than every body. from equipment, to technique, to secrets, and to foiling sessions, everybody is getting so competitive. some do it for competitiveness, and some for the soul. i was a competitor for 30 years and i have absolutely no space in my mind to compete anymore. i foil for the feeling. i foil because it makes me happy. i foil because my dream was to be able to fly, and now i’m flying. whether it’s in Australia, or Bali, or Hawaii, or anywhere else in the world, once i get up flying, nobody can bring me down. it’s my love, it’s my passion, and it’s my life. and i only have one life to live so please don’t get in my way… haha…
