Heelside foiling tacks in the fog!

After a great event in Kingston it was nice to get my gear back out to the island. (I also now have a lot of WeCanFoil demo demo gear!)

Mike, Danielle, George and Charlie were at the island and enjoyed some on land lessons. More details at my school blog to be updated here.XXX

Danielle gets going!

Windy spot!

I was out foiling right at 3pm!

When it got too windy I paused our lessons and went out on the Duotone 6m Echo with the 2000cm2 foil under Jen’s Fanatic Sky WS 142l board.

I was able to foil right on my first run! I was having fun and the wind kept building. But it was doing that while also getting foggy! Super strange seeing a metre or two of moving fog rolling atop the water.

I worked on my foiling tacks and got surprisingly consistent on my heelside tacks. I also did several 360s. Mike was on the point watching foiling - his first time seeing this new sport.

Some fun foiling tracks


After the wind dropped I left the wing at the point and continued the family windsurf lessons. I got both Mike and Danielle out on the big Viper HD board. They were great!

There was just enough wind to get on the foil once on my way back. And an amazing sunset back at the cottage.
