Theo: The best thing about foil pumping, is that basically any spot with water becomes possible to ride. Nothing is wind or waves dependant. This day I took out the Cabrinha X-series MrkII 1600 with the lLogic 110, ran a few steps and pumped away from the beach. This is part of the freedom foiling offers. Going anywhere you want, whenever you want. Sometimes it’s fun catching waves or simply pumping to do one of the most intense cardio workouts. To get this shot, timing is always the key… The water level with the dome, angle, positions… so many factors come into play. But when everything lines up, the result can be stunning.

Bobo: I was winging one afternoon at Kanaha and Ben, who was on-island for a photo shoot and also winging, approached my dad asking if I'd be up for a photo session. We shot this photo at sunset on Maui’s North Shore a few days later, as the wind was starting to taper off but the lighting of the sun was awesome. I was riding a 4m Duotone Unit because the wind was lighter but the bigger wing was giving me good lift and I was having lots of fun. I remember I had just gotten my new Sky Wing TE and was having so much fun getting my new board dialed in. This was the first time Ben shot me and I remember loving all his pictures. Every photo from that day was like I was winging on clouds, the way he made the ocean around me look, or getting my facial expressions…

James: This was a fun session out at my local. It’s rare to be able to wing here but on this day the waves were about as good as it gets. The wind was a little gusty, but that is the north side of Sydney for you.

As equipment, knowledge and experience move forward, we are able to do things we were not able to do before. We are continuously finding new levels and types of fitness, diet, mental approach and team strategy. These in combination put us in places we were unsure were possible to reach. This is where we are so far: close to the limit. But this
