One of the Best Days Yet – Winging has Improved my Surf Foiling

One of the Best Days YetAfter 6 months of Wing Foiling I can noticeably feel and see an improvement in my surf foiling.  Ballpark this spring and summer of 100 wing sessions averaging 10 miles each is at least 1000 miles of foiling!  Best guess is that the previous 3 years of surf foiling I had around 500 miles on the foil.  The old saying, "Time on the water...", well time on the foil is huge for skills and mastery.

This video is of one of the best surf foiling days I have had yet.  I had 3 peaks all to myself, 300-500 yards rides, s-turns all the way to the beach!

360 Camera DIY Mounts and Tips

360 Camera Mount After several attempts I figured out how to make this DIY 360 camera pole or paddle mount to capture the look of a drone or "follow me" tracking video shot. When foil surfing I am often riding for 500 to over 1000 yards making it difficult to video the entire ride, and even more so to capture any close up detail. This homemade pole mount allows me to catch and ride waves normally AND video myself, my gear, and the wave in full detail.

Here are videos showing the paddle pole cam mount I use regularly, and the removable pole mount that I lend to friends (can be mounted to any paddle including adjustable length paddles). The first video is an overview of the 360 camera mounts, second and third videos go in depth on how I made the mounts, and the fourth video shows how I mount a 360 camera near the blade of a paddle. Full parts list and where to buy everything needed is also included in this post.
