Transcript

Pull up to the house. What do we see? A dude winging right out front. I'm gonna just got down here to the Bahamas to the Abacos. The airlines weren't able to bring downwind board because it couldn't fit on the little plane. I come out here throw out the parawing. He sees me. We wave at each other. I'm like, come in, come in, come in. So I pull the parawing down. Run down there, swim out to him. But then you can probably borrow some stuff too if you talk to him. He's like, yeah, I got a 90 liter arm trunk board. You can borrow it all week. Perfect for the parawing. Absolutely dialed right now. About the board. The mast makes it easier by tomorrow, but other than that, we're in a pretty good spot. How great is the foiling community?
