Post by: Zooport on July 22, 2017, 11:15:30 AM: My pleasure. I was impressed that you foiled so well on those difficult and crowded waves. Let's do it again, this time at Trails where the waves are probably more suitable for foiling. I'll try to get the SoloShot centered a little better on you, the zoom makes it tough.

Any other Zoners want to meet up down there sometime in the next week or so?

Post by: Tom on July 22, 2017, 05:49:15 PM: I'm driving up from San Diego, so with good traffic it takes me about an hour. Also, Monday is a bad day for me, but please keep me in the loop.

Thanks for sharing.

Did you foil there? If so, how did it work on those waves?

Post by: PonoBill on August 28, 2017, 09:32:37 AM: I'm surprised to see you get away with changing your foot position so much, and keeping your feet off the centerline when you're up on the foil. I've been watching a lot of foil video while I'm laid up with carpal tunnel surgery recovery, and most of the surfers start with their feet in place, lined up on the centerline, and positioned for the foil. I was kind of despairing of that because my geezer balance dictates where I put my feet on takeoff.

Dave K told me his cousin Junya does that, and he hasn't been able to cure him of it--he makes it work. So that's two people doing it the way I probably need to.
