PullStrings wrote:Not big at all only one guy out. Lately because of small sharks sightings in the shorebreak he does not go out. The water goes to chest deep very gradually so to go out it takes him about 30 seconds in and out. He feels like a fish troll. When he rides he mostly stays out on the outside going back and forth.All of us spraying in the waves on surfboards are having so much more fun in my opinion. We can see the look on his face. He is starting to get bored on his foilboard. The guy is an excellent rider on surfboard and kills it in the waves so we think he will foilboard less and less. As they say "been there done that". One day there will be zero hydrofoilers out at our beach. It will not catch on. Fad over.Next.
This is an awesome post, priceless
At first I thought Pullstrings was a spot on ironic post, but I think not now....
Does not matter, it works equally well no matter what
It shows in a nutshell WHY so few want to go hydrofoiling, the paradox only known by those who do it, and this thread shows why those who do, NEVER regret, as a new life has begun !
Raceboards are boring and a PITA with those stiff fins, agree.
Comparing as Eree did, is not only wrong, it shows directly why most havent got a clue what hydrofoiling is all about
I love riding waves (waveboards) - and having started hydrofoiling this wave feel and experience has been magnified and works in flat water too - the same carving zen feel we know from perfect waves
This thread is cool, because somewhat like in 2005-6 when everybody said "Bow kites dont work, only C kites are good" ha haa, hilarious seen in retroperspective right ?
