that was me and tak.
big winds probably the strongest I've foiled in yet. the rollers were setting up good on the oregon side of the river to launch off of. looking forward to more rooster goodness before the season changes _________________ www.jimstringfellow.com |

Hey Stringy - how do you guys do those big airs on foils?
I've been really impressed at how high you guys go. Keep up the good work.

PS: I've been out about five times on my Stringyfoil. Starting to get some short rides. _________________ RoosterCam Guy

get going fast, send the kite, and push on the back foot usually does the trick.
good thing we use foothooks because when you boost big sometimes you can't control your position then start rotating and need to bail from the board. _________________ www.jimstringfellow.com |

Forecast not looking great but you never know. Gotta make the call in the morning...if it's sunny in Portland it's probably blowing out there. |

And then the foil with two blades waits for you at the water surface to grind you in half?
Show me how in La Ventana. ETA 1/2. Staying in El Sargento, then LV.
I will need a 2nd hook. Currently running a front single. Are the NSI hooks now the ungraded versions that are a bit stronger? It seems that my first set in June had a row of 3 holes poorly lined up.. inviting a fracture. _________________ CGKA Member
