A video showing how to setup foil Angle of Attack for surfing, and where I put my feet and why. Since adjusting the angle of attack and being very precise with my feet placement my foil surfing has improved big time. I have much more control and I know how to setup my hydrofoil and foot hooks for the conditions - bigger or smaller waves.
I have been having really long rides and breaching way less since setting up my boards this way. Also getting my cutbacks and bottom turns dialed and pumping more. With this improved control I also feel way more confident in a more crowded surf spot.
I am so stoked on foiling and eagerly looking forward to the next swell!
Here is the shorter version of this how to video:
I hope this helps! Also here is the digital protractor I use in this video to measure the angle of my foil.
I also carve my foot hooks out of this recycled foam. Originally I bought my foot hooks from NSI.

I have so much fun and meet and reconnect with wonderful people at the Baykeeper Bay Parade. The 2018 parade was amazing and such a beautiful day with all these beautiful folks enjoying mamma ocean.
How to setup the Soloshot 3. Below are two videos: 1 – is how to setup, calibrate, and be free of interference.
The second video is how I securely lock my Soloshot 3 and tripod when at the beach, extend the battery life, protect the Soloshot 3 from rain fog wind, and wearing the tag armband.
A tutorial I made for SUP The Mag on how to paddle out through the surf. In this video are a couple techniques I learned this past year, as well as how I get out when it’s overhead plus and heavy.
I started monkeying around with renewable bamboo because I had some poles collecting dust in my garage. Building with free bamboo seemed better than ordering another couple hundred dollars worth of carbon tubes. Now that my eyes are open to building with bamboo, wood, and other plants it’s a no-brainer for me to start building with these materials and stay with it even if…
I am renaming San Francisco Tube City after seeing so many epic barrels this beautiful warm winter day. Twice in the past three years I have wished I brought a prone shortboard with me, a shallow fast reef break in Maui and this day at Ocean Beach.
Driving to the beach I had no idea it would be hollow and barreling. The last time I saw this many barrels it was huge and serious…
