Nice man. That water looks unbelievable. And your jibe was so clean! Great conditions to learn to wing down there, steady wind, not huge chop.

I'll bet every winger on the zone watched that clip waiting for the jibe. "Ok, ok, wait for it, ok, ok, aaaand he's turning..aand.. Yes! He made it!" Haha.

Looks great Carib.  Nice foot switch!  Who is tending the grill back on the cat?

Haha Admin, not sure who owns those boats. Many sailors anchor off that uninhabited island.  The video was taken from our deck by my wife.

Thanks Cowboy
It doesn't look like it on the video, but the wind was REALLY strong and why I had to do the long , drawn out jibe.  Also the closer to shore I have to beware of coral heads   That channel gets head high swell often, and there is a fun left that breaks below my house to the left of my jibe..wasn't breaking this day..probably a good thing.

Come on down! I have surfed, windsurfed, Paddle surfed and now wing foiled here since I was 10..99% of the time alone.  I have seen a few wing foiler novices in the harbor on the other side of the island, but where I live it's just me.

Haha, so true... That seaweed plays havoc with water sports....some genius has to find a use for it and they can farm it from boats and get rid of it.
