Maybe try and keep the handle in a bit more so you can give back to the boat a little. Video always helps. Shoot some videos and share them. You'll get a lot more feedback.

Yeah that notch is not for the boys haha. It goes in the back. No biggee you certainly arent the first to make that mistake. Turn it around and it will help for sure.

Some advice I was given that worked for me was to add some shim and then cut out to the flats and coast if you can't keep the foil in the water it's too hot. It should want to climb at the end of a...
Good advice frome the others and Ill add that you are leaning way back to flip before the foil even leaves the water. As Bill K and many others had to drill into my brain when I was first learning....
The ranchero gonna be the new barefoot boat? Im gonna have to nut up and give it a shot one of these days!

That is turned out really nice looking! Hopefully it will stand up to some abuse.

I was late to the show on this, but just wanted to show my appreciation as well. This forum has been a driving force on my journey with Foiling. From buying my first ski to going to my first Fly Inn....
Awesome Nots! Haven't been on in a while. Gotta get my order in. Bout time I get some new foiling shirts!
Good Read! If you ever get a chance to ride with Jay take it! He has been a good friend and coach. Even if you just want to sit and BS about foiling and exchange war stories Jay is the man! Thanks...
I agree with the others. Just let it go where it wants don't try to steer in the beginning. Relax and just keep your weight forward and arms straight. It will all start to make sense if you can just...
Congrats! Dude! Putting work!

Nuge nailed it again! Wish I could of joined you guys! Looks like it was a blast!

Wow! Another amazing acheivement for Fern! BOOM! How is the the view from up there? I know 64 has been a goal for a long time! Congrats!

You made that look too easy! Good work!

This sentance is what got me. "His invention of the foilboard could be the future of big wave surfing"

Dude is hardcore and a huge inovator in the sport of surfing, but if I recall right I think I read somewhere it was Mike Mack who first strapped a stand up board to a foil and Mike Murphy taught...
Once again Nuge pulls off a masterpiece!

Watch it in half speed and you can see the board crack on the landing. That impact is brutal!
Insane! Pushing the bar another step up. Proud to have witnessed it. Cheers to yet another huge step in the progression of our sport!
Tough to see on the video but they all looked pretty close. Good work!

Ouch! Those last few looked painful... Exactly what Shu and Bill said. Slow her down. I did the same thing in the beginning. Focusing on a short pause for the wings to actually leave the water...
Awesome! Huge and smooth. That is some crazy calm glassiness.

Hitting fronts much more often, but still trying to get better. Hit 3 in a row several times and hit 5 in a row a couple weeks ago.
Spins...landed a couple more but still slow speeds and...
Thanks for the video. Watched it a bunch of times. I am struggling with how much line to throw it with. I think I just need the repetitions at this point. Gonna get one soon hopefully.
Ive been working on these lately. Still haven't landed one but am starting to get closer. The first few were really slow like 18 and I was landing backwards to the boat. Actually got rocked worse at...
Goin huge buddy! Congrats on another 60! Keep up the good work!
Don't see any similarities to changing a trick name. Completely different topic. I just can't see why in the world someone would wan't to dismiss these accomplishments... Just cannot see the logic...
Maybe you should be counting Kerry... you may have the biggest wake jump I've ever seen!
Ben you know I have a ton of love and respect for you, so please take this as a friendly debate. First I don't see how if someone gets the highest known frame count recorded on a certain trick how...
Well said Shannon. I I think each trick can have it's own big air world record and an overall big air record for just plain big air regardless of trick or even assisted or not assisted. With assisted...
I would highly recomend picking up a cheapo quad off amazon to fly around for a while to get the feel before you trash a brand new high end copter. The syma is only 30-40 bucks and will take some...
I was hoping someone would point out the correct padding!:)
If there is some kind of award for gnarliest foiling injuries Bill should probably win! This is only one of his stories!
Huuuge!! Congrats Jay!
Sweet idea! Just make sure and move them to a regular seat once they start going faster a scorpion might be bad with the big seat out back like that.
I know it will be alot of work to organize all of these things especially on a very limited budget, but a spark is needed. Will be great to meet you at Apache. Cant wait to get down there!
Its late but just wanted to say thanks again to the PLC for another amazing event. We had a blast! Couldnt have asked for a better event. Love the Canadian hospitality! Already lookin forward to next...
He is killin it at 50! Watched it for a while.. he never missed a beat. Congrats Tony!
Big Air seems to be popular these days. Maybe along with a traditional sanctioned comp a few smaller sanctioned big air comps covering beginner through pro might bring some people out. Also bring...
I did the mod to my old pair and they are still in my bag just in case. Got a new pair and since then my new pair has held up fine. You just can't pull on the ring or it will come out eventually. I...
I heard thier source for the original white foam dried up. I think EPA or something put a stop to it. Anyway if you have an original white pair in good shape Ill buy them.
Try 15-18 mph. Be really suttle with your movements. Make sure the seat tower is on right as others suggested. Taxi position should be like superman arms way out. Ive heard pretend you are picking up...
I have replaced a couple with parts from old wakeboard bindings. Works lika charm. Just cut the end off put the replacenent on then just use a lighter to weld the ends back together.
I felt the same way about my rock tower. Just the reality of this sport. As you progress so does the price tag.
That is an awesome challenge for a great cause. Cheers to you for your recovery and this challenge! How long do you think it will take?
The rock tower is an entry level seat tower and will bend as soon as you start trying inverts and have some funky crashes. I would go ahead and modify it and dont worry about the coating. There are...
Is this going into production?
You should be able to find those screws at most any hardware store with a decent selection. As for the seat pad is the seat tower just on backward if so just take it apart and turn it around and...
I agree with this to some degree, but I do see a seat tower in a different category as a rim. I think if you broke or bent the frame on a newer Yamaha under normal use they would step up. I used to...
