No Electric: Foil Drive

4

We are in the winter months and the weather can change in a minute.  Sunny sky on the left and a dark storm on the right.  I love watching nature transform like this.

We lucked out today.  There was a small wind swell so the waves were fun and a lot more power than the recent days.  Hashimoto-san was loving it!

Everyday we’re learning something new.  That’s what surfing is all about.

Better timing and a lot calmer.  Great surfing today!

My friend Dane passed by on his foil.  He attached a “Foil Drive” which is an electric motor to his foil.  He was flying around everywhere even without a wave.  It looked fun and I was always curious about it.   He let me try it and after I fell and almost landed on the dangerous propeller, I had enough.  Now I’m not curious anymore.  And now I just saved myself $6000.  Thank you Dane for letting me try your toy and saving me big money!
