Wake Up – A Better Life is Waiting

Wake UpI need your help, or you need mine.  A win win win is waiting for us.

An unbelievably better life awaits all of us.  Here is a simple proof, in 1900 many of the problems we face today didn't exist.  Often people respond to this claim with logical fallacies or parroting something they were told that has no evidence.  This is why I created the Tools Course and offer in person lessons, we have to go through one by one examining the claims and unlearn each falsehood.

What's keeping you from saying yes?

I have yet to receive an answer to that question.  How is it such a simple question goes unanswered for so long?

Let's assume I am crazy, wrong, a liar, spreading dangerous misinformation, or worse.  Wouldn't it be in your best interest to know why I am wrong, or how to prove I am wrong?  To be able to point to some evidence and say see!  Here is the proof.  So why doesn't anyone do that?  I have been asking for years and no one can provide any evidence that what I am saying is wrong.  If I am nuts it should be easy to debunk me.  So why haven't you?

I know the short term answer - the questioner is believed to be incorrect and that it's a waste of time trying to answer or correct them.  Or the topic hits a nerve, as an example I didn't want to talk about divorce when I was engaged I was afraid I would jinx myself, so out of sight out of mind.  Long term I want to know or at the very least be reassured the crazy person is incorrect.  Maybe I'm just built differently, even so in healthy cultures the community listens to the questioner or the messenger because they have information that can help or even save the lives of everyone.  So why believe far away strangers instead of your neighbor?  I am right here, if some famous big shot is wrong what recourse do you have?

Powerful Foil Affirmations Video

AffirmationsAffirm - 1: validate, confirm.
b: to state positively.
2: to assert (something, such as a decree) as valid or confirmed.
3: to show or express a strong belief in or dedication to something.

Affirmations are saying or repeating statements that do all of the above.

Here on this page I made 3 affirmations videos to affirm what we want in our foiling, and the foiler we want to be.
Also additional ultra powerful affirmation videos for Jibes and Tacks.

Our Minds Are Powerful and Amazing

AmazingHere are stories of human mind and body doing the "impossible".  What else are we humans capable of?  I am reminded of people like Wim Hof who break records and accomplish tasks we are told cannot be done, and then show other "regular" people how to do similar feats.  How is this possible?  What can you do today, right now, this moment to improve your life?

Mind Surfing

Mind Surfing is a practice that will help you become a better surfer, foiler, winger, board rider.

There is an old saying - If you can see it, and believe it, you can achieve it.

This can be especially helpful if we have had experiences that were uncomfortable, say a wipeout, and we want overwrite or rewrite a new possible outcome.  By picturing the outcome we want in our mind repeatedly we change our default or goto thoughts and feelings to the ones we want.

I had an experience surfing in Santa Cruz.  Just me and 2 other people out on a small inconsistent morning.  The other 2 guys paddled for each set as if I didn't exist, no concept of sharing, or a lineup where we take and give turns.  After about 20 minutes of this, I set an intention and saw it clear as day in my mind that I was paddling for and going to ride the next wave no matter what.  Soon after a wave approached and I laid down on my board and started paddling for the wave, neither of the other 2 guys paddled nor even tried to catch that wave, it felt as if my vibe was so strong that they knew my intention as strongly as I did.

For as long as I can remember I have visualized turns I want to do.  When I started foiling there was no way I could even think of doing these turns, I didn't even have a concept for how to do them, nor even how to control the foil to do these turns.  I saw others with more experience who could do these turns, I kept imagining myself doing those turns.  Within a year or so I could do these turns, and now I can do whatever turn I want, the only limitation is hydrodynamics and the design of the foil itself.

What’s New – Short Reports of New, Different, Unique

What's NewThis page is dedicated to whatever new stuff we happen to be testing and working on.

When I have something to report I will post here and update the posting date, kind of a preview before a tutorial is ready.


I added 4 videos of the F-one Seven Seas 1200, reviewing this wing both surf and wing foiling. Available on the foil reviews page.


Jeff Clark's larger wing foil boards came in and I have 2 sessions on the 118L (5'10").  I am stoked to report that the extra volume is well placed and right away I noticed the improved stability over my 95L.  I am only 2 sessions on the Jeff Clark board, and yet schlogging was a pleasure, and touching down a non issue.  It's been so long since I have ridden higher volume boards that I forgot how nice it is to be able to touch down or even plane along the surface with no issues or pearling or sinking.  He only had 2 boards made and with the good feedback is working on having more boards made.  I am not a jumper so I don't know if this construction can stand that type of abuse, for my everyday surf style they are great.  Going into the light wind season I am so stoked to have a short stable board in my quiver.

One of the reasons this matters to me is that the 110-140L size board is what a lot of beginners and intermediate riders end up buying, and it's a huge benefit if these boards are stable to stand and schlog on.  In my opinion stability is priority one for a higher volume board, for me this was the single biggest factor that made wing foiling easier to learn.


I added 2 videos of no pump acceleration take offs, these are helpful with small high aspect foils, and when one cannot pump.  Can find the videos at the bottom of the small board knee start page.

Also added an update to weak side or switch foiling, 1 video on small body weight board and no pump take off.

I also added a video on how to flip over an 8 meter wing while sitting on a body weight board at the bottom of the wing handling page.


I demoed a full 2022 Cabrinha wing foil setup: wing, foil, and board.  The camera died before I got on foil so no foiling, I did make a video review of my short test on this gear on the foil reviews page.

Also I added some more videos on foot hooks and a mod a made to more securely attach a foot hook...
