Tips on going faster. An Australian foiler who's worked hard on it for a few years and broken 30 kts. The young guy who flies past him (5:00) is a PWA debutante, Will McMillan. He's definitely a "strapping young lad". Some interesting stuff including how to sheet in/out with the front hand and using board heel to control power.
Reminds me that I need to get on the race gear more in the open bay and try for speed again. Was keeping my eyes on my girlfriend today, so stayed on the inside. I did try jumping on the foil though... unsuccessfully. Took what I thought would get me out and it just sent me to the top of the 103cm mast. Tried a couple more times but I'm apparently too timid with my attempts.
It's not all foil content here but there are some good shots of foil jibes. One of the Alien riders is on a 725 starboard I think, the other on i76. Really good day yesterday with lots on the water.
Other than we are all envious of such a nice day... all that traffic on the "dog run" is why I like foils. I'd want to get out of there and get into some open space and the foil makes that so much easier. Yes, nice jibes - rig motion, sail flip. I think some of the jibes would be a bit easier if they exited a bit more downwind but it may be just in those tight confines, it was more important to keep on track to avoid traffic.
Top level tacks. With women being lighter weight, will foil tacks be the norm for them at the top level?

And, yes, did I mention we are envious?

This is killing me watching this. I just want to go out and foil again.
