Absolutely amazing Roger. Do you mind if I do a story on this? (it's Chris... the journo - used to live there, met you in the water quite a few times, got sick, moved off the island but hope to get back one day!!!).
Hello Roger; I loved the way you Foil I SUP Surf too, and I'm starting to practice SUP Foil I would like to know your progression What was your material progression in Foil? What material do you suggest to start?
I started with to small a foil { 1600 cm square } went straight to Naish 2450 , which got me going . [ with a board with 150 lt ] . Mast 65 cm .What helped the most was wing foiling , it gave me time to place my feet correctly and get up gradually . When you take off in the surf , you milli seconds to get your foot placement right . Once I got comfortable , I progressed to bigger waves , smaller foils and longer masts . I now use a Axis PNG 1300 in small surf and the Axis ART 1099 in bigger surf .
Hi Rod , Adder Rock is on the North facing side of North Stradbroke Island , Queensland Australia . Only a small island with some of the best beaches in the world . With beaches facing North and South , there is usually somewhere to surf , and a beach to suit foiling .
With a sand bottom, my answer is always foil over SUP. But I managed to find a few rocks last time I was out at Noosa.SUP is better there when it's small for anything but full low tide. You look more comfortable on the Samurai. And pretty good speed too.
