High Wave count on the SUP Foil

[@michaelb.pocock3753]

Fantastic Lance! I'm sure there have been others that I haven't seen, however those are the biggest waves I've seen you on in Texas since Maui..... that follow cam is working great! Even when you're behind the pier it follows you. That was a great investment! That looks like a long session for sure. Keep sending us those great videos!

Cheers my bradda mikey. Stoked on the legitimate soloshot cameraman as well! Miss you buddy.

[@robadair]

So smooth! That was a gnarly take off just before the seven minute mark

[@Lanceisoutside]

Thanks Rob 🤙🏽. That was a dumb takeoff. I knew that was going to happen and shouldn’t of charged it. Looked funny tho! Hahaa

Nice riding! The foiling friends I have either SUP or prone, but not both. You seem to have both of these foiling disciplines pretty equally mastered. What factors do you consider in deciding which one to do on a given day? Is there one that you prefer over the other and if so why?

[@Lanceisoutside]

Thank you! On this day i took out the SUP foil because the waves were big and there was alot of current and whitewash on the inside. The sup allowed me to be farther outside and paddle into waves i could not paddle into on my prone. Or if i did paddle into the big ones, i would be exploded off my board because of the speed and size of the wave. On big(and small) days i like to be able to ride waves that nobody else can or wants to. And go over half mile offshore where waves are perfect for sup foil and nothing else. Big board more float, more opportunity to paddle into more waves. More security and peace of mind on a big board offshore. I enjoy doing all foiling disciplines and do what i think is best and most fun for me. And here at my local zones its good for all disciplines all the time. Lots of variety. I think that certain spots can breed a certain type of water athlete.

[@Lanceisoutside]

If it’s windy, i will prone. If it’s big, i will sup. I have a higher wave count when sup foiling. Less fatigued from paddling also. Both equally fun to me. Some other global spots more ideal for prone. And some sup.

Do you have a cameraman? It looks like you are using a following gimbal? If you could let me know that would be amazing!

[@Lanceisoutside]

I do have a cameraman. But it’s not human 😆. It’s called a “soloshot 3” robotic cameraman. Worth every penny. I have a tracker tag on my arm that the camera tracks. They have a newer version which i heard is better and faster to calibrate. Get that one.

[@Salty_Ocean]

@Lanceisoutside I've been looking at the SoloShot but the reviews are mixed. I'm glad I heard something positive from you🤙keep on shredding

[@Lanceisoutside]

@Salty_Ocean thanks mate. It doesn’t work perfect all the time. But when it does, its very nice. Hard to get a human to film me for the whole session.

[@Salty_Ocean]

@Lanceisoutside you think that it's worth the set up and money? Also, does it ever just point at the sky or ground, if so, about how often? Sorry to bother you.

[@Lanceisoutside]

@Salty_Ocean to me its worth it. If i didn’t have one. I would have basically zero footage of myself surfing. I have nobody to film me. It’s all about knowing how to correctly calibrate it. As well as having it in a good location for filming. I does not like the wind. (Footage gets shaky) So i use a trashcan i put over it for a windblock. It has a view port and have poles attached to it. As well as sandbags to keep it from blowing away. Setting it up takes time and patience. They say the latest version is faster to setup. Mine has never pointed at the sky or ground. Sounds like a poor calibration to me. Ive had bad and off center footage multiple times before. But it was caused by poor setup location or calibration. Overall, it’s worth it to me.

Awesome! What equipment you using?

[@Lanceisoutside]
