watched that northerly come in with a vengeance in the couve today.
was gonna hit frenchman's but noticed there were some big ships anchored right smack dab in the middle of the riding area.
decided to head down to marine drive down by the airport and it was solid 10m for about an hour then backed off enough to take the 10 back out with the hydrofoil.
having a foil board in your arsenal really opens up your riding allowing you to ride in lighter conditions as well as powered up in choppy waters.
when driving over the I-5 bridge its always a good sign on the river when they are running a sailboat regatta

More than just the fin visible, but I guess the blades will make good sushi.

haha that fin looks so real!

here's a short video. pretty fun to get it dialed. spent last weekend just getting comfortable skating swell at roosevelt. I think that's the next big progression with foiling.
