Oahu based PSUPA Instructor Trainer Robert Stehlik has been on the forefront in pioneering SUP foil surfing.
This is the first in five instructional videos he's offering on foiling. I'll post the rest in upcoming newsletters.

NorthWater Tow & Rescue Systems Member Discount
Last Spring i rescued two separate capsized kayakers, helped to shore a fatigued paddle boarder and helped push one of my newbie river students into an eddy.
Tow systems designed for kayaking or SUP are easy to carry and useful in assisting others or in getting a tow yourself if in a pickle. Overnight paddlers can double the rope for drying gear and as a bear bag, tarp line or crab pot rope.
I use the North Water Micro Throw and Tow lines. Customize as needed. Each come with a biner and rope floater. NorthWater also sells leashes, stirrup lines, deck outfit loops and deck bags.
