Check out the latest from The Lift Journal, where he learns to Wing Foil and also Downwind SUP and talks through his experience using a variety of boards and wings.

« In this entry I talk about my first couple tries learning to fly the wing and also trying to figure out down wind SUP. When I first started foiling I really had no interest in either but over the past couple months I have slowly been mentally preparing myself to learn. Hence embracing the suck of almost learning something from scratch again. Winging appeals to me because I hate pumping into harsh wind so figured learn how to use it as a chair lift. Down wind is just such a meditative journey from what I have been told. Using your knowledge of how the ocean works but also the ultimate flow states I have heard about.«
