I migrated from Surfing to SUP Surfing because 2 guys on SUPs Rich Graff and Haley Fiske were able to catch more, and bigger, waves than I could on my 8 foot gun. I started with a 10 foot SUP and then added a 12 footer to catch big and bigger waves. Half Moon Bay, my home break, is not known for great surf. Ocean Beach to the north in San Francisco has hollow, barreling waves and is considered one of the best beach breaks in the world. Santa Cruz to the South, arguably the surf capital of the US has perfect point breaks with long rides and crowds to match. But what Half Moon Bay lacks in quality it makes up for in size. Then in 2016 and Kai Lenny came to town for the Mavericks induction ceremony. I was talking with him and he looked out at the lagoon on a small day and said “Oh my gosh I could be foiling all those waves.” Jeff Clark was the first to get a foil, followed by Haley Fiske and then me. 9 Seasons later I’m still trying to push the foil into big winter swell. Here is the latest clip.
