Sailboat Foiling / Foiling Sailboats!

« on: October 14, 2021, 11:39:26 AM »

Oh look, a new board on the forum. Humor me.

After a season on the bike, I have the foiling bug again. Yeah, the legs have gone to shit but, se la vie. I had been eyeing foiling moths a few years back but never pulled the trigger. Recently, I came across this little foiler (Cobra produced) that looks super fun to me. I am going to give it a go. More forgiving that the Moths and a lot less fiddly. Still can do 20 mph and can foil in 6 knots. Can be surface sailed with plugs rather than foils, so I can teach the grandkids as well.

Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / Ultimate Foil Gear Carrier?

« on: August 19, 2021, 12:12:07 PM »

Man, does this thing look fun! What an insanely overbuilt little tank of an off roader. The top model has 4 motors (each with its own controller), a dual piston Hydraulic disc brake on each wheel, regenerative braking, and 2 more motors on the cart if you want. This would be a great downwind self shuttle, beach tote, whatever. It gets my 8 year old inner self ramped up.

Random / The perfect steak?

« on: June 17, 2021, 08:24:50 AM »

I am wide open to the notion that there may not be one perfect steak or steak recipe. Steak can be a little like cheese in that respect. As soon as it is in my mouth it is my favorite (again). Hello Taleggio. Even so, I am going to throw this out there as a strong contender. I love to grill but holy shmoly.

These new food warning labels in Mexico are super informative, effective and often surprising. Stop signs front and center on every food product. It is placed right next to branding (not buried on back, small cryptic, hidden and often illegible). Unavoidable at purchase or in the fridge. It is a simple step and an immediate behavior changer. We need this.

Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / Baja Daze

« on: January 25, 2021, 04:38:47 AM »

We are down in Baja sitting out the rest of the winter. Fortunately, our daughter was able to join us and we have both grandkids here as well for at least a couple of months. We were able to get a really nice home which sits at the bottom of a sweet 5 mile downwind run. It is kind of a south shore Maui setup with cruisey, even bumps.

It seems like everyone had the same plan to sit out covid down here. I have never seen so many kiters in one place ever, including here in previous visits.

I have been watching jetski foil lessons in the mornings. Man, does that look frustrating. I can hear them screaming at each other in Italian from the porch

We have been using our trusty Axis 760/860 and the 390 tails so far while we adjust to the new Ensis wings but I just cut down my 420 tail to 400 so we will see how that goes with the 980 today.

My legs are pretty well garbage now so every outing feels seat of my pants crazy. Even so, this sport so unbelievably fun. Following swell with a wing and a foil, a mile off the coast, with your wife, jumping fish...magic.
