Is foiling for young folk?...Not according to these reprobates, 3 of them of 65 years old (Bob, Blann and Bruce)

I can hardly keep up with them (I'm 46) they group text me at 7am ready to go, or when its raining and gusting 10 knots..
Love it :)

No kidding, they are frothing like 21 year olds at any chance of getting on the water, ha!

Age is all but a number! you are riding better than people half your age, very inspiring!

Freestyle is for the young uns till their knees give out.

The truly mental ones do it with a foil included

My age of 72 is just a number. I still think of myself as a snot-nosed kid.


Years ago I was camping at the Banana River Resort in Florida. One day a car pulls up, three guys get out, all aged 93. They could barely walk. Beth let them keep their gear rigged and ready on her property. They hobbled over, got out their gear (big sails and longboards), helped each other get their gear to the water.

Then they slowly uphauled, looked at each other, smiled, sheeted in, and KAPOW,
