this was the very first time i went foiling.  it was 3 years ago and i can remember that day so clearly.  Seth took me out, gave me a SUP board, a huge foil, and said “unko, go for it!”  i seriously thought i was going to die!!! then yesterday, i’m flying around having the time of my life.  and now that i think back, i’m glad i never gave up.  i got hurt, i was frustrated, i was embarrassed, but i told myself never to give up.  foiling gave me excitement in life again.  it gave me confidence, it gave me hope, and it gave me courage.  i feel like Superman now.  haha…and omg, foiling is the best exercise in the world.  my legs and cardio hasn’t been this good in my entire life.  after i complete a 2 minute ride, it felt like i just ran a marathon.  i’m so tired that i can’t even talk.  but after 3 deep breaths, i’m ready for another marathon ride!

i waited for the perfect timing again.  mornings too crowded so afternoon was a go.  went searching for the perfect empty wave…passed by Bowls and Rockpiles and couldn’t believe how many surfers were out!  today is Sunday so cannot help i guess.then i pass by Kaisers and there were only a few guys out!  omg, i threw in the anchor and jumped on my foil.the waves were super nice and perfect.  and lots of empty waves passing by.  good to see Kona on his SUP foiling.Pasha was out too.  and that was it!  i had a blast flying around on my new foil.  Mayuki in the back and me in the front.  it felt like a private boat trip!  i stayed out for 1 hour, caught 15 waves, and pumped my last one all the way back to Mayuki.  pulled the anchor, and went home.  another great day in Hawaii ne…
