I surf foiled the F-one SK8 850 foil. I was mostly testing to see how it handled wing tip piercing the surface, and how it performed in head high plus long period swell.
In this video I show what happens when the wing tip comes out, and compare the SK8 ride characteristics to the F-one Eagle, Seven Seas, and Phantom foils.
Also there are additional videos of a short wing foil session speed test, and another surf session in small gutless surf.
Thanks to Olivier at Covewater for letting me demo a SK8.

This video I remove and then install 4 new bladders in a wingfoil inflatable wing.
A mostly straight forward job to replace a bladder, and there are several tricks or tips that can turn failure into success.
In this video series I replace a leading edge, center strut, and two side strut bladders of an 8 meter wing. I also show and explain valves leaking and how to check for leaks.

Recently I heard we can survive 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, and 3 minutes without air. Given this reality it seems breathing is a bigger priority than food or water. There is a lot of information out there about what to eat and where our food comes from, likewise the water bottle boom has been around for a while. To me it makes sense to put as much if not more time and attention on our breath, how to breath, and what’s in our air. I had been doing breathwork for years prior to 2020, and the recent phenomenon of demanding people wear something over their face and alter our natural breathing seemed beyond insane.
In this video series I show and explain tips and drills to learn to jibe on a wing foil board. When I was learning riding toe side felt very foreign, and so I go in to detail how to get the feel needed to complete a jibe. I show and explain how to work on the parts of the jibe so we can put the pieces together and have success. There are 11 videos in this series.

I hand shaped and glassed a hydrofoil wing out of a piece of wood and mounted it to an Axis fuselage for $20. This is a beginner friendly foil wing shape, designed for someone who has never foiled. Cheap, simple, and hopefully durable. The only challenge was deciding how thick to make the profile wing shape, I started really thick and worked my way down to a shape that is very forgiving and user friendly. I am stoked and feeling very proud and empowered, I can now make my own foils and I have lots of ideas for future builds!
There are 11 videos in this tutorial series. Cutting the outline shape, cutting the fuselage hole, shaping the profile of the foil, laminating, vac bagging, drilling and fitting for the fuse bolt holes, more shaping, even more shaping, laminating and vac bagging again, sanding, showing the finished foil shape in detail, and a ride test video.
