Hi
Have been two weeks down in CapeTown, riding BIG waves, and medium waves (but an awesome swell period we hit mostly).
And my friend Christoff, whom I had never met (but seen last year) was there, and my other Danish buddy Per had taken his foil with him to CT
So really awesome to meet, especially because Christoff had never met another foilboarder in SouthAfrica
I did not bring my foils - only my waveboard - but Per took his foil with him, so they were two riding "alone" before everyone else could get on the water - must have been a very special feeling ?
I took a few shot from the beach, the last day just before the Red Bull contest (which was awesome too - kudos to Kevin for being able to show his extreme potential to the max this year )
Took a few shot of Christoff, on a very odd saturday (1/2-2014), because the wind was NV, then turned dead onshore VSV (but light), and later it was 7m2 still onshore - VERY odd, and only 2 out of 14 days with such odd conditions...
We had a good long talk right before this session, and Christoff makes his foils himself, aluminium and G10 wings - really impressive !
Hope it is okay I post these pics - but most on this forum are all about "new gear" - where it should be more about the actual riders out there IMO
Out in front of Lions Head (Table Mountain)
Riding relaxed and strapless
Sometimes in the onshore headhigh+ swell it could go wrong...
But mostly, Christoff rode in huge waves, onshore, in light wind - COOL MAN !!!
Going ashore the "hardcore" way - riding foiling up high, and then jumping off the board at the very last microsecond before the board hits the sand - soooooo coool to see
