What foil did you hit 35.8 Jon?

smooth water sure helps the top speed huh?

With that said, if you want your foil to be perfect, follow these steps: 1. Always sand at 45 degree angles to water flow. (I'm not getting into arguments about this...

Anyone else hear about this? Seems like a bit of a headache...

Really? How is anyone under 25 yrs old able to buy gear, train (take time off work), compete, travel, while still paying for rent, utilities, water? all without having a great source of income??? If, they are that good, that young, then they must not have had to earn the money to pay for the origin...

Gisela's comment: “We are leaving Pingtan without an official result of the event. Yesterday in the double elimination I lost the final against Karolina so we had to do the “superfinal” to break the tie. After announcing the result that I was the winner, they said they missed one of Karolina’s tric...
