If you are wondering why I'm desperate to learn to downwind foil the Gorge...

Here's why:

On the right day, you could do this for a hundred miles. Yesterday was the right day.  The music fits very well. Kick the sound on and go full screen.

Sweet! Smooth is fast🤙

[DavidJohn]

Awesome.

Normally I'd make fun of Rod's pink bunny suit, but having pushed hypothermia to the point of bad shit happening that day, I can't say a damned thing.

Wait that was you on the videoing /1st person board? if so that's awesome!

Do you know what kind of suit is Rod wearing?

[surfcowboy]

That’s crazy. What’s the temp like there in the summer and what does the wind chill feel like?

According to TJ,  that orange suit is a SUP suit.....I think it's made by the same company that does Starboards blue dry suit. I've looked at them and the front entry is nice and the material pretty light and soft.....but I still worry about overheating once you get "up and running" !  I'd like a neon reflective yellow or orange suit.....makes it very easy to find you body if things go wrong ............

Here's a link for the suit I think you saw in the video......

No, that was TJ. I was freezing my ass off in another chunk of the river--Celilo to Maryhill.

Very cool, Bill!  Have you tried to downwind your foil yet? 

[PonoBill]

Yes, I'm getting nowhere fast. I just need to keep working on it, the 280 foil is letting me get up and start moving, but I don't last long.

[Califoilia]

That's odd, because you're using the blue "Foilagra" that should have you getting up stronger, and lasting much longer than giving it a go w/o it. 

[PonoBill]

Yeah, that's what I need, Foilagra. I may get that printed on my 280.

What I really need it to pick up my efforts to lose weight. Pumping looks easy for the 120 pound set, but they wouldn't look so nonchalant if they were carrying an equally-sized passenger. That's my problem--that stowaway.
