Well we all know <a class="profileLink" href="https://www.facebook.com/amado.vrieswijk" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1615885604">Amado Vrieswijk</a> is a bit of a Freek... in a good way oh course!! Just to give you an idea... he went foiling for the first time the other day and within 1hr was doing full planning Foil Gybes!!! Yes... that's not normal!! freekish!! Here is just a little video of him yesterday (his 2nd day on the foil) pumping onto the foil in 3-5knots) It's crazy how little wind these things need! ...i mean you can see as soon as the board connects with the water the drag just stops him!)
