Wind ForecastHow to use wind forecast websites and get the most accurate and reliable information.

More time foiling where and when the wind is good, and less time getting skunked or having to swim back in because the wind died.

Basically use these tools so we can be at the right place at the right time.

Below is a video where I walk you through the wind forecast settings I use to understand what the wind is going to do:

Learn to Foil in the Wind and Waves


A step‑by‑step video course that shortens the foiling learning curve — so you progress faster, ride cleaner, and feel confident on your hydrofoil.

WHAT THIS COURSE IS

Foil surfing and sailing are the most exciting evolutions in wave and wind riding — where your board lifts above the water and you glide like flight itself. It unlocks waves you couldn’t surf before and makes every session feel like you’re in a new sport altogether.

Learn to Foil is a video course designed to teach you each skill you need to feel confident on a hydrofoil — from basic movements and stance, to catching waves and performing turns with control and grace.

Unlike a random YouTube playlist, this course is organized, progressive, and focused on helping you understand why each movement matters so your progression is faster and less frustrating.

✅ Have tried foiling and feel stuck in the early learning curve

✅ Want clear technique videos instead of guesswork

✅ Are a surfer, wing foiler, surf foiler, downwind, or watersports enthusiast

✅ Want better confidence, control, and consistent flights

✅ Prefer step‑by‑step breakdowns over random tutorials

 

📸 WHAT YOU GET

🎬 100+ instructional videos covering every phase of foiling — from beginner balance to advanced tips.

📌 Organized by skill so you never miss a step.

🔁 Lifetime access — learn at your own pace.

📍 Bonus content on gear reviews, fine tuning, and care.

 

💸 INVESTMENT

Foil Reviews – AFS, F-One, Code, Armstrong, F4, Naish, and Slingshot

Foil ReviewsAll the things I like about foils I have ride tested and reviewed:  AFS, F-One, Code, Armstrong, F4, Naish, and Slingshot. For even more detail and depth or what I didn’t like including Achilles heels and deal breakers go to the Foil Reviews – Honest Feedback on Hydrofoils from Popular Brands page (also available a la carte).

Foiling is one of favorite happy places, even better when I have the right tool for the job.  I am a better human and closest to the best version of myself when I feed my passions and get stoked.  I want this for you as well, more stoked people in their happy place sounds like a better world to me.  Matching good people with the best gear for their ability makes a huge difference.  In my reviews my intention is to get to the truth, how do these foils ride?  Is the slick marketing video hype or hyperbole?  Let’s find out together.  I have dedicated many years to riding every foil I can in every condition mother nature can provide.

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.

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.
