Foil SUP / Re: How much carbon needs to wrap around the leading edge of mast?

« Last post by surfcowboy on Today at 09:35:51 PM »

I sanded for about 10 min on mine today. I'm ready to hotcoat the carbon and mount the rear wing but I've been traveling and sick so it's been hard to motivate.

Hang in man and report in on the printing process. I'm curious as to how that goes.

I was just there for business this week black outs and all.
Usually Tres Palmas surf shop in Ocean Park would have boards to rent but they have yet to reopen post hurricanes.  You might try contacting Playero who have a store near Isla Verde

If you do find a board there are some good outer reef breaks around Isla Verde and  Ocean Park   They were firing this week.

Foil SUP / Re: Foils and Kelp in Northern CA

I've been watching this kid that usually goes out at high tide Pleasure Point and surfs the inside reform where there is no kelp.

He's been getting pretty good and starting to go faster by the day.

I have mixed feelings about the higher sidewalls, especially with my lightweight and how the wind will affect me. I guess only time will tell.

I wonder if higher sidewalks could improve the stability ?

This has been my most significant question regarding foils. How do people deal with weeds? Probably not an issue for foiling on waves in Maui, but would be an issue for windsurf foiling in SoCal or the Gorge, as well as downwind foiling. I know that on a windsurfer or downwind paddle board, collecting a salad bar on the fin makes further progress impossible, requiring stopping and getting in the water to clear the fin. How much more weeds do foils collect?

Glad to see you had more video from your last W/E. You sure have some nice DW conditions where you live.

As always, thanks for sharing your videos here on the Zoner site.

 When the camera finally got "warmed up" and zeroed in on you, it did great. Hope to see more videos from you.

Thanks for sharing your video.

Travel, Trips, Destinations / Puerto Rico SUP rentals Isla Verde, Carolina?

« Last post by fly2surf on Today at 11:10:04 AM »

Spending a short half a day in PR next month and would like to rent a board and try out the surf around Isla Verde beach.

Just wondering if there are any rental places on or near the beach that would make for a quick afternoon surf session?

Oh and any tips on that break or area would be appreciated too.

Foil SUP / Re: Foiling Safety video

« Last post by blueplanetsurf on Today at 11:00:43 AM »

Thanks for your input everyone.  I finally posted the video and it's a long one but please take the time to watch it if you want to get into foiling.

Thank you to the Watermen and foiling pioneers who shared their knowledge in this video we recently shot to help keep people from hurting themselves or others when foiling. It's a long one but if you want to get into foiling, this should be mandatory. In this video: Leleo Kinimaka, Kalani Vierra, Sam Pa'e, Edmund Pestana, Todd Bradley, Reid Inouye, Rex Shinmon, Robert Stehlik

You did it right. I bet it will out last all your foils and boards.
