We had our 3rd annual halloween foiling outing yesterday, great time.

In prior two years, I had dressed up as Yoda from Star Wars and Tom Brady, the GOAT of the NFL

Nice photos, blmeanie, and the costume looks great! I've been hoping you would share them.

You bear a striking resemblance to John.  icon_good

That is too cool, blmeanie! I was waiting to see your video because I couldn’t figure out what foiling is. Now with this, along with a little googling I understand. How long have you been foiling? It looks so fun but I would never be able to do it, even when I was younger, so much younger than today.

Sorry this is so small. I can’t seem to get the editor to work very well with my iPad.

thanks -I've been foiling for about 13 years now, for comparison - the friend that is the grim reaper completed his 2nd year of foiling and this past summer began successfully landing his jumps he is doing.

It is tremendously fun and smooth riding, when you just ride, with the board above the water, it is like you are flying, very little resistance and so much fun
