This foil surfing project has been 10 months in the making for me, and it really got going yesterday. First time ever riding a foil or having any experience with a tuttle box. Big learning curve for me.
I felt anxious as soon as I decided this day was the day to try it. I had no baseline to even guess what I was in for. Paddling out and going for a wave was a rush, and I never thought I would be terrified in knee high gutless mushy waves.
Looking forward to trying DW foiling here in the San Francisco Bay. I suspect this will open up a whole new area of wave riding. Thousands of wind waves go unridden and the bay is often empty of any wave riders. Foiling could change this,literally creating surf spots overnight where they have never been before...

Divorce kicked my ass, a brutal wipeout. Then with the help of a very wise adviser I learned how to get back up, take care of myself, and see my divorce as one of the best things to ever happen for me.
In this episode I share these tools and how I use them…
Stoked to present the recut version of A Surf Tale! I trimmed and cut the scenes that didn’t work, and remastered the video for HD. The three versions have been moved to the members section and can be found here: http://clayisland.com/surf-tale-recut-3-versions/
