Foiling's fun in light winds. Awesome when it's blowing - the bump energy cranks up
No waves but solid windswells on the sandbank at Crazy Waves - sadly GoPro SuperView flattens it

SW 22-27 knots, Phantasm 730, Simmer Tricera 4.5

Ok the big question is what's that in the water looks like a old figure head from the bow of a ship.This video has me inspired to go Chase some storm wind as our season is done for our normal wind direction.

Nice handling skills, and yes, camera never do justice to amplitude. That huge swell looks tricky.

Get out in strong winds and ride the windswells. Superfun on foil.

This link explains the statue in the ocean. An interesting but ultimately very sad story.
