Piros you have been pushing the envelope from Day-1. Or maybe Day-2, Kai was Day-1, unless Kai was Day-0, in which case . . . .
But seriously your advice to "Lose the Weight and Try Harder" has stuck with me since Day 1,692 (roughly) of your Journey when you said it on the Progression Project.
I think you also said you wanted to be "The Best Foiler in the World." And NO ONE CAN CLAIM that unless they can Dock start an Eight-Point-O, Ocho for short.
The other great line was from Egan Inoue (another interview with Erik on the Progression Project) when he said:
"I have found when you think you are at your absolute physical limit you are really only at 40% of your capacity."
Great video Piros, and congratulations on your dock starting accomplishment!
The bloopers reel was/is inspiring, in that it shows what it really takes to accomplish anything...hard work and determination.
I have a new Kings Paddle Sports' first entry into the DW board foil board thing in the works (7'10x19.5x115L), and can't to give all these new foil adventures a try.
Thanks Beasho yeah it's more grit and determination than talent ;D
Thanks Califoiia ( cool handle) let us know how you go on the Kings . Just one tip it's more a drop and run at the same time , it's not a drop standing start , the board just sinks. The standing start works on the small boards but not the big ones.
