Foil Sunset

Caseys Blog:

2018 was the year of two tales, Its was the worst surfing & wind year that I can ever remember, just horrible. We had a long cold winter that seemed to go on forever, then a crazy hot and calm summer. it made for not many days of action. Now on the other side of the coin with the advent of Surf Foiling, thru sail, paddle, or kite. this year turned out to be soo much fun on soo many days. The days were you wouldn’t even have thought about getting a session in, turned out to be the most fun you can ever have. I think 2018 is the year that we turn the page, Thanks to Surf Foiling even on the worst years you still can have 100 days of an insane amount of fun. Its the new Norm now. Life is good.

2015 Session Recap

Casey’s Blog:

2015 was one fun year. It started off very slow but ended with a bang. I ended up with 101 insanely fun days on Da Reef, Great Lakes and oceans. Mostly Hitting the Lip of course. I am always stoked to hit my goal of at least 100 days I set for my self every year. It makes me feel like I am living life to the Max. 2015 was definitely a great year for windsurfing, The perfect combo of wind & waves were just firing together when there was action. I have a good feeling that 2016 is going to be great for lots of water time, with the odds of a early spring looking good. I also hope to do a little more SUP & Surfing in the new year, try to get back to my roots a bit! Now bring on Da Waves!
