Sneaky foilers

Did anyone else see the turtle caught by surprise at 6:30 in the JP video?

I think it would have heard ordinary windsurfers approaching well in advance.

Re: Sneaky foilers

Karen down at North Beach Windsurfing in St. Pete specifically mentioned this when I visited last spring. She didn't know if it was the quiet or the elevation but she said she'd hardly seen any turtles until she began to foil.

I haven't seen any turtles in Lanier. Yet. Biggrin

btw, props on the proper use of the "Youtube" button. I-m so happy

Wow, this thread was a let down. Thought you were going to talk about foil sneakers.

Well, continuing with foily sneakers, the shoes below caused a furor with a price tag around $1k which is the tag for a decent non-carbon foil. Of course, these shoes aren't carbon fiber either but they do get you about as up high as a foil.
