Nice one JJ! Are those monkeys making those noises? Man, that looks like a bitchin place to call your back yard! Looks like the ocean's energy is available just around the point! You are a lucky dog!

Nice to see someone having success of a FoilX - our Tampa Bay crew mostly couldn't deal with the squirreliness. Wichita Lineman! A blast from the past. Crazy windy in Wichita but no water that nice. Typical Wichita quiver back in the day was a Doyle 8'0" and 3.2/3.7/4.2/4.7 - only fins then of course.

Nice video keep them coming
I can see the crazy gusts moving across the water. You are making the 4.7m in a 25 knot gust look easy.

Nice footage and wonderful backing track. Lucky enough to see Jimmy Webb live once - amazing song writer (and story teller). A great recent cover (and Flea is NOT the bass player!):

Even if it is gusty, filmed from the deck is pretty sweet 🤙

The FoilX seems perfectly stable to me - perhaps moving the foil mast forward has helped?
Where did you sail in Wichita, interesting that it's so windy.

Thanks great version, I'd be stoked to see Jimmy Webb in concert.
I think Wichita Lineman is a masterpiece

Same, my annoyance was not having a track system and having to use the jack plate but the board overall seemed good.

Cheers, it doesn't beat a northerly at Bus Stop - but pretty happy that after 50+ years of windsurfing, I can sail right out the front

love your work JJ! Think you might need to set up a weather station for the Carlton updates 😉

Feel free to text me for local weather, but if it's windy I'll hopefully be on the water
