Fine Tuning

160

every time i go surfing, i’m always watching people surf.  and when i see a really good wave ridden, it kind of makes me happy.  so when i seen this girl all alone on one of the best waves of the day, i was waiting to see what she’s going to do…

she was setting up her turn right here.  see her left arm, it’s turning inwards so everything else will follow very soon.

and there it is!  a very nice turn with beautiful style.  this was at Diamond Head yesterday and i hope this photo gets to her somehow.

the way a foil works underwater is a science.  every little millimeter or every little angle will affect the way it performs.  i’m trying to make my foiler even faster than it is.  i’m always trimming things and testing things out.  my goal is to surf waves better than i can surf it on my shortboard.  i’m a far way from that, but i can feel it coming together…

the further i can put my board on the rail, the faster i will go.  i’m learning so much thanks to this pandemic.  when this is all over, i’m going to travel the world with my foil and experience waves like i’ve never did before.  and that’s so exciting!
