If you are foiling where the crowds are you are doing it wrong and part of the joy is getting to some of these places that are really just no good on normal surf craft!!

This is a local spot near home that breaks all the time on the right tide but is pretty much useless on normal surf craft yet on a foil is super good fun with 500m long rides and a current to help you back to the take of point.

Looks sweet. I love waves like this. I will be hitting that one next lap for sure.

A bit point here by Jacko, Foiling we have the ability to ride all sorts of amazing swells that aside from Ski and OC's, no one can touch. Stay out of the line ups and go exploring.

Nice one

Regards,

JB

There are also premiere spots that are terrible for any other board that day.

Very cool videos!

And "If you are foiling where the crowds are you are doing it wrong" should be engraved on all foiling gear :-)

Yes, the Tweed River can get really good I've surfed it some 15 years ago all you need is a Big East swell and its on.
Luke Egan used to surf it all the time on the right tide as he lived on top of Dbar hill and just looked out of his kitchen window.
