So. I'm loving the ability to load up and use the HF like a 3 foot ramp and boost from flat.
Super cool to be able to boost at any time and not have to search for flat to boost or having the chop slow you down so you don't go as high.
Anyway. There was some decent swell running last night and several times i was presenting with pitching lips of head high plus.
So I manned up loaded the foil and sent it. Its like putting a ramp on a ramp and then boosting.
Some silly height was obtained given the light winds (12m surfboard whether).
I like it. Enter my new fixation. Which i guess is not entirely unexpected. Because thats what i love doing on the mutant!....

Is that what I wrote in 2011? Took me 5.5 years to get my arse into it!
Hehehe I'll have to give historical me some philosophical advice.
The man who says it cannot be done should not interupt the person doing it!
