Idiot's Guide to Defi Superstars

Ben Proffitt does a hilarious recap of his Defi experience. It's wonderful he doesn't take himself too seriously and is very relatable. Also interesting that he's 80kg and looks like a shrimp next to some of the PWA guys. For all you non-cam sailors, you'll love his take on having to rig a race sail. And, at the end: "I've got to get a foil." Biggrin

Part 2. His absolute fear at contemplating using a foil is so relatable. All of us who learned to foil got that feeling seeing whitecaps

Watching the video, those conditions did favor foiling.
I like that Ben said he is going to start the race foiling process

Part 3
Ben finally gets his goal: a top 50 using a no-cam sail.

Thrill of Victory and Pain of Defeat Moment: NG smokes the fins on a super windy race (the pros are dumbfounded) and then gets DSQed for having failed to check in.
