How hard can it be?

"I'll just give it a rudder attached to a surfboard at the bow on an articulating arm on the end of a 12 foot sprit." Simple! In the end, there are dozens of tiny parts that need to be fabricated. From bearings to spars to bulkheads it all adds up. Every day progress is visible!

Foilboarding

Here is the current state of the foilboard that I designed and built. I don't jump it anymore since the t-bar has broken twice now when landing. It's still insane amounts of fun!

10 Years in 10 Minutes

I managed to capture some of my adventures from the past decade on film. I edited the footage into this short video with good music.

The New Look

I spent the last week fiberglassing and painting Valkyrie. Then I did some more flight testing with some friends. Enjoy the video!

Ride of the Valkyrie

Here it is! The highly anticipated video of the first test flights of the hydrofoil sailboat that I designed and built. This video doesn't show the boat under sail. It is being towed by an inflatable dinghy in order to test the wing. Also, the boat has been named "Valkyrie". Enjoy!

Surfing in Grenada

This is a little video I made of a couple of my friends surfing at the best secret spot in Grenada. Special introduction by King Botu.
