Wing Foil Fest Under the Golden Gate Bridge.
One of the first Wing Foil videos I made of Fort Point and Crissy field with most of the highly skilled riders including Johnny Heineken.
Views took off and many say this video had them wanting to learn how to wing foil.

For several years now I have been searching for a foil that can do high speed tight carves without crashing while feeling in control. This week I found such a foil. I have been testing several foils in this size and style, all good and all with at least one caveat. So here is a quick write up of what foil I am in love with and why. Also details on my Axis to F-one setup.

This is a video ride report on my first half dozen sessions surfing a high aspect foil wing. I talk about the benefits and challenges of riding a high aspect foil wing, and the similarities and differences with a low aspect wing of similar surface area. For me the focus is on the shape or ride feeling of the wing regardless of brand or who designs the wing. I find this most useful when deciding what wing to buy or what conditions are a good match for which wing. In this video I am riding Axis 900 and 1000 foil wings with the 420 tail (YouTube preview).

Life is Good.
First swell we have scored The Beach this season, clear blue water, light offshore winds, fun swell, and good friends.
Sun, pelicans, dolphins, surfers, all enjoying a day at the beach.
Here is the video from these 2 days of swell (YouTube preview):

Really fun swell and conditions made for a foil party.
Some of the best foilers I know were out.
I grabbed my long lens camera and captured some of the best foiling I have seen.
Here is the YouTube video from that day:

I have been re-discovering well known beaches as foil spots and I am having a blast! Surf foiling is so fun, and even if I get bored a simple change to my foil changes everything and I am excited again! Fall swell has been sparse to non existent so far, and I am so glad I have a foil to help me make lemonade out of these lemon conditions.
I have also been seeing foil spots with wing foil eyes, imagining how to wing at a spot and having my mind blown by the possibilities that will be here with the next storm swell!
In this video I score a couple of really fun peaks that are great foil waves and very different in their shape and rideability. Length of Video – 1:47 (YouTube preview):
