yesterday, i woke up early and was thinking about foiling knee high Ala Moana. next thing you know, i was heading out to the North Shore to foil big waves with the boys. for the past 3 months, i’ve been training everyday physically and mentally for this. last year, Kaiborg told me to be ready so when he called, i was 100% ready. i just wished he called me on a smaller day. haha.
each jetski cost $25,000 when it’s set up like this. these guys only have the best so i felt confident going with the best on the best. i knew i was in good hands and with guys that would risk their lives to save mine.
towing into big waves is Kaiborg’s world. he knows everything and is one of the most experienced waterman in the world. so when he’s teaching me, i’m listening very carefully. getting taught by a waterman like him is priceless. no amount of money can buy you experience like this…
i watched Kaiborg go first, then when it was my turn, i just focused and tried to copy and connect. but once i got to speeds like i’ve never felt before, i disconnected and fell on my chest. you’re going so fast that the water surface is like concrete…
gosh, what i learned in one day was amazing. most importantly, i learned that the ocean is more beautiful than i ever thought. i was screaming joy like a kid on every single ride! i bet the boys were laughing at me. haha…
Kaiborg went first and when i saw him carve up this wave, i couldn’t wait for my turn. i’ll be up and ready every single morning in 2021 and when i get the call, i’m there!
