Wednesday 7 17 24 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.


AFS (Alien Foil System) is a brand of high quality foils made of UHM (Ultra High Modulus) carbon in their factory in France. I own the Silk 650 and 850 that I use for SUP foiling at Kaa, but they make all kinds of foils, boards and wings and they're going to have a demo day tomorrow Thursday 18 at the circle of Lower Kanaha at noon.

This is a video of a session on my Silk 850.
