Waterproof XPS Board Build – Update After 2 Years of Use

I made a SUP surf foil board and a wing foil board a couple years ago and here is the status update after using these boards regularly for 2 years.  Boards are still working, no delamination, nor structural break down.  They have been great boards, very durable and functional, there has never been a day where I felt my performance or ability to foil was held back by the board being to heavy or some other material failure.  The plant flax or linen cloth on the wing board has held up great with no signs of failure, I have been very rough with that board setting it on pavement and concrete and in the back of vehicles and drilled a big hole for a camera pole.

Here is a YouTube video where I talk a about the boards and foam:

The SUP surf foil board was my first build and the tracks lifted from the expanding glue, I have since found a solution and used it on my third board build, I share what I did below for members.

The 5 Levels of Agreement – More Success Less Disappointment

The 5 levels of agreement are a tool to let us know what we are agreeing to, get more of our requests agreed to, and to align our expectations with reality.  What do we do if people aren't keeping the agreements we make?  I offer a tool to dig deeper, understand why, and have a better chance of getting what we want.

In this video I talk about agreements, give examples of well known agreements that aren't kept, explain the 5 Levels of Agreement, and aligning our expectations with reality:

I first heard of the 5 Levels of Agreement from Dr. Neha Sangwan, she gave a talk at a Hay House event I attended.  Phycology today wrote an article on the talk.

If people are not keeping the agreements we make there are usually core wounds from childhood that are coming up.  In this next video I give an example from my childhood where my father and I had different levels of agreement on time:

RRR – Relationship Repair and Reconnect

RRR - Relationship Repair and ReconnectLearn to repair and reconnect our relationship when we get into a fight or something happens that we are struggling to get over.  Feel that lovey dovey close connection again, feel safe, restore trust, and grow into each other.  Here I share techniques, practices, tools that help us build the relationship we want.

After cluelessly flailing in my first marriage I wanted to know what happened and how I could avoid that pain, and cocreate the relationship I have always believed is possible.  So I reached out for help, I was ready to be a student and the teachers appeared.  I have trail by fire tested these tools and practices over the past decade and I guarantee they work.  I am in the relationship of my dreams and we are cocreating the ship we both always dream of.  The more we use these tools and do these practices the more intimate and creative we are, and the closer and safer we both feel, a true power couple.

In the below video I share an example of a fight my girlfriend and I got into and how we used a repair practice to reconnect:

AFS Silk Review

I've had around 20 surf sessions on the AFS Silk 850 foil, and also 3 wing foiling sessions. Also one quick surf foil session on the Silk 650 in head plus conditions.

Here I show video from those sessions and talk about what I like, any short comings, and compare this hydrofoil to the F-One Sk8 850.

I'm excited to share this and test ride more AFS gear.  I got my AFS Silk from Covewater in Santa Cruz. I am using the Stringfellow adapter to Axis mast.
