Pro-Kitesurfer HUMBLED by SUP FOIL

I have spent the last 6+ years foiling and I have to be honest, when I got my first SUP Foil, I thought it would be much easier. So my first time hitting the water, I planned a 10km Downwind from Maconde - Le Morne, which is on the south west coast of Mauritius Island. This new adventure definitely humbles me as I navigate the open ocean, facing unexpected challenges and learnings. Join me as I embrace the struggle in learning something new!

Yep, you are an inspiration. Please just be careful. There's risk in everything, but the difference is that you're my son. ❤

[@MatPendle]

Like your video format, great storytelling, missing situation shots, maybe a insta 360 would help, I watched to the end without realising 👍

[@willowsurfs]

Thanks for the feedback Mat! Appreciate it 🤙

[@StarrwynTonkin]

Wow...well done - so amazing!! but mom just has to ask....where was your security team on the second one? 😅

[@dawntreader7079]

this is my 4th season on a foil, winging and down winding. i come from a surfing and windsurfing background. i can say that without a doubt, even for experts in other disciplines, SUP foiling down wind is ridiculously hard. i have a foil drive now, and it's STILL hard.

[@willowsurfs]

It’s crazy! I definitely wouldn’t have thought it would be so difficult! The foil drive looks like a great tool to get started in the beginning, would love to give it a go!

[@jantermohlen5073]

Wheee, looks fun✌

[@willowsurfs]

Definitely a lot of fun. But very challenging at the same time!

[@raymondwitvoet]

Welcome to the club! ;-)

[@willowsurfs]

At least there is only one way to progress… and that’s by just keeping at it 🙌🏼

[@raymondwitvoet]

@@willowsurfs absolutely, the hardest thing I’ve ever been learning. Being on foil on a river here in the Netherlands albeit short is pure magic though!

[@willowsurfs]

@@raymondwitvoet that’s awesome! Keep it up 🤙

[@oddgomsrud2013]

Is it ReUnion Island ?

[@willowsurfs]

You could be on to something… 🤙

[@aljordan2709]

Reunion-Mauritius lol

[@willowsurfs]

Sounds like it could be a possibility!
