my journey on the foil has been amazing. it started off 6 months ago and i still feel like i’m learning something new everyday. this was the very first time i tried it and i’ll never forget the adrenaline rush when the foil came up. ever since then, i was hooked. i surfed 20′ waves before, i got 10′ barrels before, but nothing compares to this feeling. the feeling of flying over the ocean like a bird, so free, so quiet, so calm, and so good!
so many professional surfers are trying. and all are paying their dues. take Keanu Asing for example. this was his first time and like us all, this will happen for sure if you’re not properly instructed.
and this guy too. the reason is because surfers try to surf the foil. it’s totally different. so after teaching people how to foil, this can actually be prevented. there are safe ways to teach foiling and i’m trying to do that injury free.
and because i got hurt myself, i know what not to do. yes, the best way to learn is to learn from your mistakes. i wouldn’t want anyone to spend their New Year’s Day in the hospital like i did.
so now i’m trying to teach Toda-san. i’m watching every wave and everything he’s doing. a few tips, a few corrections, and soon he’ll be flying over water like a bird. and once he can stay up on the foil for over 10 seconds, his life will never be the same. i can guarantee that…
