« Last post by steamroller on August 12, 2020, 08:21:02 PM »

weekdays...be in  line before 500AM...or youre probably not getting in anytime soon in the morning...line starts growing at 430am...the afternoon is doable because the dawn patrollers quit at noon...but thats weekdays...
still bring a bike just in case you may need to park at the upper lot and walk for...ev...errrrrr...

weekends...ive gotten there at 400am and the line was already snaking all over the place...pass...i think guys must camp overnight or something...sheesh

if youre not there super early check the sano surfline tollbooth cams  before you go ....you can watch the line as it moves ...sort of

Foil SUP / Re: GoFoil NL 190

« Last post by steamroller on August 12, 2020, 08:14:02 PM »

when the wingtip breaches the surface of the water flow separation occurrs and the wing undergoes ventilation which propagates all the way across the span causing the wimg to stall ...lose all lift and the whole shebang comes crashing down...

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....stall horn for the pilots  here...

the NL wings with the wingtips and the cutouts of the trailing edge are designed put the flow back together...get it laminar again...end the stall and keep you flying...they work too!...im just having a hell of a time getting video of this and explaining it  simply...pics  and video is always much better

man, sorry to hear that. Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like you may have helped some folks on here.

My last surf session I had sunscreen on my paddle and it drove me nuts.

Oh, and when I hear “Sandy Boom gave me the Jersey Finger” it reminds me of a weekend in Vegas one time.

There are enough people dead or dying now that six degrees of Kevin Bacon is in full effect--we all know someone or know someone who knows someone--who didn't make it. Even places with relatively low infection rates but limited resources are being pushed to the wall. The public health officials in Oahu say that if the current rate continues they are a few days away from having to choose who gets a respirator, and a little later any in-hospital care at all. So pick your bula-bula carefully.

I know, I was all down to “get it over with” and now I’m waiting on vaccine.

I am still jealous of the folks I know who got it and were asymptomatic. I am working (remotely) with a guy and he’s like a lottery winner. No ill effects God bless him. But time will tell.

Here’s to a quick roll out of a successful and safe vaccine and many waves to come.

SIC Maui Custom service@dingkingmaui.com will sell their SUP handle for $25 but now (sadly) it is made from plastic not carbon fiber as shown in the picture above.
