Foil Drive Dawn Patrol - 1/10/2026

Used the Foil Drive on this morning's dawn patrol.

Waist to Chest high waves on the sets.

Medium tide (but still managed to scratch up my feet)

Light offshore wind.


I didn't have much time today - La wanted to do our pictures.

But in doing the standard meet and greets, the battery had been idle for too long and the throttle wasn't registering.  I had to paddle back in and dismantle the system to redo the battery.  That killed a lot of time (I was using the trench board).


Kalani, Dennis, Ben, Andrew, Makana, John, Scott, Derek and Brent were all out on foil, with Roland coming out later.


I was pretty hard on the throttle with the short time line.

The waves were smooth and if you picked the right one, offered some steeper faces.  With the smoother surface, I could more easily dig/lean into my turns.  Marlon said I was turning with the tips breaking the surface.


I'm guessing 13 waves -
