Great video! So glad you included the entry and exit. You made it look so easy and it is not. Cheers to you and your Cabrinha foil and the Mantis wing!

My Dakine/Cabrinha wings were a game changer. I have not ripped one yet. I have done a few things that should have. Going down to Fort Pierce allowed me to slowly get used to shore pound without much risk. This one was a relatively easy in/out once you have done it enough times. There is always a risk of a larger than expected wave coming through and tossing ya. If I am close to shore and that happens, I try to push in one direction on the wing in another. Most loss comes from when they meet. Keeping the board on the upwind side helps.

also, I think you are the main reason I posted the 1st entry video. I will eventually make a video of all the times it goes wrong.

Sweet! Thanks for that song. And another soloshot sesh that brings me closer to the dark side... that's a x30? I love timing the exit. No wings were punctured during the filming of this video :P

Soloshot3 25x...perfect for what we do and less headache than a gopro. It loses a shot or two over an hour of filming. Finding a person with that kind of skill would be hard. Yeah. This was a relatively easy exit in mostly protected section. Is does have a 3 foot pool wall that needs a good wave to lift you over. I included it because some people were asking to see an exit. The soloshot3 tracking tag is usually under water for the sketchy exits and I lose the footage.

Looks real fun! When did you video that session? I can’t wait to join you out there some day!!

This was a week or two ago. I was going to ride there yesterday, but went to Spanish House instead. That place was over run with mating sea turtles 🐢.

Thanks, that day wasn't great for showboating. Wind was almost direct onshore. No jumps and you had to fight desperately to maintain a line against strong wave current and light wind. Even without the flash, such a fun day. Monster Hole is in my top 3 favorite spots.

Given the shore pound I get across the street from my house. I may try and make a compilation video of all the times it goes smoothly and the times it gets sketch. I use the Soloshot3 which tracks you via an armband GPS tracker. I lose tracking on a ton of the sketchy exits because on the crazy days I am waiting for good timing with my arm under water. Using that title: Surf Egress- if I do get around to making one.

Good question. I think it was gusting up to around 15 mph, but the lulls were dropping pretty low in the troughs. Still, maybe 11 or 12 in the troughs. it wasn't an easy day, but it wasn't miserable either. I used my big foil that day, the Cabrinha H1200. Maneuverability and lift were good. I got a bit slow navigating through some of the gybes, but the foil did well.
