I don't have an escape strategy. I never did. I never had like a this is going to be plan B. I've never been a plan B guy. I know I could recreate myself. But I love this art profoundly, and I love being in the ocean. There's something about this. To me also, this is not about destroying anything. It's not about beating anybody.

It's about self-discovery, pushing my limits in the ocean, which is an element. And the foil taps into ocean energy so fucking potently. And the other thing is that the art is at such an early stage of technological growth that foil gear is progressing so quickly, and the people who are actually at the bleeding edge of foil performance-wise

can ride this gear, which is increasingly difficult to ride. But the hardest gear to ride is the gear which can do the most epic shit. And so the sensitivity is like, as the gear requires more and more sensitivity, the sensitivity is cultivated. And very few people in the world can do it on this gear, and it's just so sublime. So I'm so fucking in love with this art.

I do not have a plan B. But, you know, fuck, who knows what happens. I love when people love things. Oh, me too.

I've loved some arts really fucking deeply in my life. Foiling is number one. I've never loved an art more. Maybe it's because I'm at this moment of life where I'm at and I'm integrating everything I've learned from different arts and bringing it into this one and this one's manifesting all of it. But in terms of the day-to-day experience of it, oh yeah, man, I'm a lunatic.

I do. That's beautiful. I live right where the jungle meets the ocean.

Oh yeah. That was before I started, um, before I started foiling, I was surfing. Um, and I, it was like 5am and I was, um, I was flying back to New York that day, so I went out for just pre-sunrise, right at sunrise, surf, and I was on this glassy head-high wave, and this gnarled log came up in front of me, this piece of fucking wood. And I saw it, and I hit it and jumped off.
