First clip on the @takumaconcept 1095 with stock 178 tail. Not dialed yet but think I’ll get there in a few more sessions. The pump and speed is addictive and it’s hard to get your head around how easy it rolls for such a wide foil. Even bangs a bit.

Should get a runner today. Crazy how much glide you get on tiny little bumps. I’m realizing I’m pumping where I don’t need to. Got to change the mindset.

Breezy morning on the @takumaconcept 1210 w/ 178 tail on the @flyline_productions MJ-12.

Super fun weekend at the foil race. Epic to hang with the community and stoked to be a part of it. Congrats to @austinkalama for winning prone and getting 2nd in sup and @mateo_ell for 2nd in prone and winning sup. And to @flyline_productions for absolutely crushing and getting a 3rd in a stacked field. You’re a legend brother and now I don’t feel as bad when I can’t hang. Haha. And my son Damo made the semis as the youngest guy in the field. Epic times and looking forward to the next one.

Flying the foil. Lots of questions about the last

Flying the foil. Lots of questions about the last @kdmaui podcast discussion regarding Kane’s secret which we called flying the foil. Here’s a pretty good example. You can see in starting the bottom turn I fly the foil farther outside to increase bank angle of the turn and can start it fully loaded. Took a while to learn, but radically increases how hard you can turn. The same principle works for top turns and cutbacks but its hard to see on video. Hope it helps illuminate the discussion. Would love @kdmaui @keahideaboitiz @misterbennetts and @flyline_productions to chime in as I’ve watched them all do it.

Couple variations on connection turns. Working on

Couple variations on connection turns. Working on hitting the falling lip on the first one, this has been one fo the hardest things I’ve learned on foil. Finally figured out that you have to place the foil in the lip to keep the pressure on the foil. The second is placing the same turn on the face. Need a super steep section and start the turn a bit lower to keep the wave as the foam isn’t pushing back. Which do you prefer? Riding the @signaturefoils 1260 w @kdmaui Blunt on the short fuse. 1 degree tail shim and 4mm plate shim.

Coming soon…. I love the learning process. Been

Coming soon…. I love the learning process. Been trying to hit more critical sections on connections. I used to avoid the falling lip, but think it will be doable soon.
