Taking off from the peak like this on your foil is challenging. First, you need the proper equipment. I order my Trinx custom foil boards so it will allow me to get into the wave fast. Second, timing is everything. If you’re off by a split second, you won’t make it. Last, once you succeed in a take off like this, the feeling of a chest high wave on a foil is the same feeling of taking off on a 10′ wave with your surfboard. The adrenaline rush is exactly the same, except you’re going 2x faster on a foil. So to be able to get the same feeling of a big wave on small days like this, why not? I think this is why I foil. The other day I caught this beautiful right from the peak at Bowls and it felt like 10′ Sunset Beach!
