when Daisuke-san first came to Hawaii, he told me he wanted to foil. so on this very first day, i asked him to show me how he surfs first. i watched him, took notes, and Boot Camp started from there.
within a couple weeks, he was surfing like a pro. perfect form and perfect rides. then i told him “ok, let’s foil now. but, expect to get frustrated, mad, and feel like you’re starting all over again.”
oh, and i forgot to tell Daisuke-san that he will fly like superman. haha.
i watched a lot of foilers start from the beginning and some learned fast, some took years, and some quit. Daisuke-san learned fast!
check out the progress from day 1 to day 40. Daisuke-san learned how to surf a shortboard, how to be calm, and how to fly.
and on top of that, he’s body and mind transformed into a very strong man. he lost 2″ off his waist, built new muscles all over his body, and is very calm. thank you Daisuke-san! you survived my Military Style 40 Day Boot Camp! you did it!!!
