Equipment Experiment

271


as soon as i thought i reached my limit at foiling, i find out i’m not even close. i saw somebody foil a wave like how i surf a wave. so now, i’m experimenting with my equipment and making all kinds of adjustments. soon i won’t be foiling a wave, i’ll be surfing a wave on my foil. first, i have to play around with this mast.

it’s crazy how every little inch makes a huge difference. i’ve been making adjustments every session and learning so much about the dynamics of this foil. it’s like science! kind of weird because i use to hate my science class in high school.

i just got home from an evening session at Diamond Head. it’s only getting better and better…

usually by December, i plan a surf trip for the next year. this year was Sumatra. and after scoring the amazing waves we got, i want to move forward and go somewhere else. my eyes and ears are wide open…

but in the meantime, i’ll enjoy some nice Hawaiian waves…

and also enjoy some fun in the sun at Waikiki…

last night was amazing. good food, good company, good laughs, good smiles, good family, and good friends. thank you Maki-san for taking this photo! it’s amazing how a trip to Molokai can make everybody’s relationship 10x better…
