Surprised you guys aren't discussing this.  Can't confirm specifically, but word around the campfire is that it's Jeff Clark.

Classic Cowells!
You will always catch a wave with 10 or more of your "best friends".
You will then have to go through the slalom course of people in the water, who virtually do everything they can to get in your way, without knowing it.
I really don't think I would ever take a foil out there.  But it doesn't matter if you are on a longboard, shortboard (yes some do paddle out on shortboards), SUP, Kayak, prone paddleboard, or foil, at some point you will likely hit someone or get hit by someone.
So if you paddle out at Cowells, expect the worst, and don't complain when it happens, because it will.
There are many other surf spots in town, with a lot fewer people. 
That doesn't mean that they aren't crowded though. Just fewer people.

Evan Lloyd:
Foiling in Santa Cruz is tricky due to the kelp. Cowells is a pretty good setup for foiling but it is either crowded or flat. I’ve foiled Cowells several times and back there this summer. Surfing at Cowells requires a great deal of situational awareness, but it can be done safely.

Dave Kalama’s comment was pretty funny.
davekalama@thewingnut he made a really, really bad decision. Foil license revoked. Somebody get him a nerf football.

Tom:
What about surfing with a dog sitting on the the nose of your  :o?

JEG:
I can never understand what the atraction of surfing in crowded places? ::)
