Yesterday I went to the beach - but I had brought the Volcanic Sweet Potato hoping that it would be rideable. Roland and Brent were there - Roland was chilling and Brent was taking a break from prone foiling.
Brent went back out and proceeded to catch three waves on some tiny breaks. This motivated me to go and prone foil again - which I did today.
The conditions were similar to yesterday - but it seemed to be a notch smaller and the tide a bit higher.
No.24 (for it's volume), the Project Cedrus Classic Carbon mast (75cm - probably should have brought out the 68cm one with the tide the way it was), and the Progression 170
I caught 5 pretty fun rides - getting in some really good turns and getting reacquainted with the low speed glide this foil offers.
Prone foiling is definitely all about the takeoff - after that it has the same mechanics as prone foil driving (duh). But the takeoff is probably the hardest part - especially when the waves are on the small side and the tide is lower than 0.7'
Eli came out with the Tow Boogie he recently built.
This one has a single motor and the controller is integrated into the motor - these are the differences from Jesse's setup.
He was catching waves that I would have caught using the Foil Drive - but I told him I am trying to keep surfing and prone foiling relevant in my repertoire so back to prone foiling it is!
