Hell yeah brother, all our ancestors connect when you go back far enough. Beyond that is oneness. Many blessings.
There is no place for localism. No Aloha in their actions. But so much Aloha in your words. We need more Aloha.
I love you bro!!! I wish everyone had your attitude!! 🙏🏻
This was a wonderful video, words and thoughts to start my day. Thanks man! I’m appreciate the perspective on the kid and crashed van situation - I totally agree with you about not involving the cops. I hope I would act the way you did in that situation. Challenging times but you’re making the world a better place. Hope to see you in the water. Splash splash.
All of your videos are amazing. When I listen to you and see the video I feel like I am foiling. Same amazing feeling. Keep it up. Life is beautiful.
Ahhh Clay...just waking up with a cup of coffee after working my night shift and absolutely loved this. Love your thoughtful water prose and general approach to what we do. Keep 'em coming!
AH! I made the video (blue&orange wing @ 1:15)!! I’m such a big fan, I was up there last week for just a few days and scored this epic session at Fort Point, it was my first time there and I was STOKED! I was secretly wondering if you were watching that day and I’m so giddy with joy to see this!!! Love your videos, wish I got to meet you in person! What an all-time session
Beautiful man, thank you. The spiritual architects up here in Washington hear you
Wise words! Peace and love to you all… 🤙🏾😊
I didn't know there were any surfers at Fort Point that were good enough to warrant chasing off non-locals. The over-amped arm flapping and foot stomping on this incredibly mushy wave seems to have reached an all-time low as far as surfing styles are concerned. There used to be some guys who surfed that place beautifully, and they were not friendly, but I'm afraid their time has passed. You on the other hand Clay, are a different kind of inspiration. Reminding us of our connection to the ocean and each other. If surfing is all about feeling good, then winging is like surfing without the assholes.
I haven't popped in for a while Clay. Nice words and it's all happening in the water
Thanks for the Love, Bro!
You're onto something with this running commentary over the footage you've filmed. I don't see anyone else doing this and it's an amazing way to get a message through by putting it over a mesmerizing scene that you can't look away from and don't dare ffwd. I'm subscribing.
My fav video of yours Clay🙏❤️💨💨👊I'm ready as well.
Another great video and talk man 🤙
The nature of surfers is to defend. Their wave, their spot, their turn, their vibe. It's just what they do, and given a reason they resort to aggressive actions against each other or any others.
Sad to be reminded by this video but true!!…not bashing surfers…good ones can be found but hard…I Sup surfed, never a kook by any standard, was yelled at by a woman surfer “on my wave” at Cowell?? she was on my left on wave going right-my bad..gave in…harassed/ cornered by 3 prone surfers while in water …I didn’t back down (I’m only 5’5”) as I was up on my Sup with sweeper😂…even twice by the same Sup surfer tried to protect his in-coming swell…all these at Jack O’Neill`s house and not even at Pleasure point (short board only) in S.Cruz…let`s have 🍣 brah!!
I can understand why some hardcore surfers would hate it, but if you watch most of the video you'll see that the foilers and kiters don't usually get within 100 feet of paddle surfers. Share the wealth. It's choppy for surfing anyway 😁
Very nice story, liked it ❤
So true 👍
I love this ❤
Your narrating style reminds me a bit of Tommy Lee Jones in No Country for Old Man 👌🏻
Well said 🤙🏽
I was wondering if Wingers had a monthly BBQ free for people wearing wetsuits, both surfers and wingers. When I surf, I communicate with the people around me at some point. Then we come to an unspoken agreement of trading waves. I had found a left peak at Linda Mar; it was a small wave, and I rode it several times by myself. Then a woman showed up. I talked to her briefly, then we took turns catching the waves. It worked great. I felt better at the end of the day. I would let her have whatever wave was her turn. Even if I thought I could ride it better. I could've been a dick and chased her off each wave that approached. Taking turns meant if you ate it, you lost your turn, Oh Well. I was winging on the Gorge. I meant some wingers on the beach. I chatted with them for a few minutes. Then I got in the water; after a few minutes of riding and crashing, my wing leash popped off my arm. The guy I had been talking to before went after my wing and stopped it from flipping down the river toward shore. At the beach, I offered him money, but he didn't want it. He was just passing on the karma.
There are events every year at Sherman, Crissy, Alameda, 3rd ave, and more. Also multiple free demo days usually hosted by shops with a brand offering rides on their new gear.
Great 🔥❤️ is that a shark escaping at min 6:10 🤓
It is a big rock, on a negative tide it's sticks out.
Wow nice wing Johnny H is using, make model, do we know?
Seems like a prototype of some kind. Looked similar to something I saw at AWSI 2023 from Swiss company Ensis (which I remembered after seeing there's a guy flying a different Ensis here). There is a wrap-up vid that featured it but I couldn't find it again - I did find a wing from Airrush with X-ply: ruclips.net/video/5hpvi8F5N-A/видео.html.
I appreciate your vibe but disagree about the surfer acting terrible. Surfing is a sport, an environment, defined by scarcity. You're always competing for position, competing for waves. Every wave you catch is something you have TAKEN from everyone else, every wave anyone else catches has been taken from you. There are very no scenarios where your presence in a lineup is making that place better for others, its always another mouth to feed in an environment of scarcity. This rewards toxic behavior and attitudes - localism, secret spots, enforcers, most of all the degredation of kooks! Everyone is a threat - expecially if they have more power than you in the lineup. With this attitude how can you NOT hate the foilers! They have the power to take whatever they want out there - they fact that they don't touch your wave is irrelevant.
Foiling is a post scarcity activity. Its an environment of abundance. Waves can be shared - 3-4 to a wave, spots are much less special(everywhere is awesome) so there's nothing to protect. Sometimes I miss being on a wave without a foil but i have no desire to be in that mental state again. Any time i pick up a new skill or hoby i think to myself "is this thing defined by scarcity". If it is i want nothing to do with it or the people around it! I have no desire to surf or fish ever again. Any time i so much as pick up a board i can feel myself becoming someone i dislike.
As I read the first paragraph, I was getting angry, thinking "what a jerk", it is never ok to destroy someone else's stuff, especially after an accident. It is this mentality that made me NEVER want to surf again. It is this mentality that caused a surfer to intentionally ram me as he refused to turn on a wave so that he could avoid me as I tried desperately to get out of his way. Just because he didn't like that I was there, a woman in the line up (how dare I). But upon reading the 2nd paragraph, I get it. Now, I only do wind sport and totally avoid wave spots. Surfers are jerks. The mentality of wind surfing and wing foiling, on flat water, is one of camaraderie and generosity. Of stoke and helpfulness and genuine joy at another's successes.
The surfer acted terrible, period.
He could have let the wing float past him
So lame!
@@lindaknight6047 For sure! I'm not saying its OK! Trying to say that its not an isolated cases. That attitude is the norm in surfing.
If your loving the wing i'd definitely recommend looking into Surf Foiling. Its a "non scarcity" environment and very welcoming of new people!
I'd also add for "wave winging" and surf foiling that this spot in the video is an anomaly. Most surf foiling and wave winging is not happening at named surf spots, its happening at places surfers don't even bother with. This is such a high profile and highly coveted surf break i wouldn't even consider messing with it. Not because the surfers "own" it but because there's plenty of better spots and its not worth the hassle. That goes double for a pumping day like this!
Wonderful words, really dig the deep insight of embracing abundance. I'm reminded of stories I've heard of indigenous tribes refusing to play games that excluded people or are win/lose, they want everyone to feel good and win. Hope to hear more from you.
@@lindaknight6047 That's terrible that you felt intimidated because of your gender. I call out this bad behavior. Not all surfers are like this and I know many that are stoked to have women on the water and act accordingly. I would hate for you to give up a fun sport. I'd be happy to surf with you.
