OMG, Low Tide Cliffs!!!!!

210

i’ve been spending hours and hours on modifying my new foil.  every little millimeter makes a huge difference so i’m trying to figure out the science behind it.

then i finally get my brand new foil set up perfectly.  this morning i was flying so fast i couldn’t believe it.  it was working so good!  so after a have a perfect session, i ride my last one all the way to the beach.  and right as i was to get off, i hit the reef hard and flew off.  i was worried about my foil more than about my body…

when i turned over my foil, i yelled “OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!”  my brand new thousand dollar wing is ruined!!!!  it’s like taking your brand new car out for a test drive and scraping a wall.  omg, i’m so shocked!!!

this morning was a very low tide.  i’ve been trying to go out on lower tides because there are more waves and no foilers.  it was a gamble and i lost.  and it hurts so bad.  tomorrow you won’t find me at Diamond Head, but you will find me flying somewhere for sure…
