Hey guys, welcome back. This is Jake with At a Glance. Today we're going to be talking about the Ride Engine HF impact vest. This is the Defender vest from Ride Engine and it's meant for foil use.

So when you're buying an impact flotation vest, every manufacturer varies slightly and they tend to fit pretty tightly, so I'm going to go through and show you how some different vests fit on me.

Success in foil surfing is not the number of waves caught but how well one surfs the waves they do catch. - Ewan Jaspan.  Hey there, I'm Ewan Jaspan. Today we're going to look at a bit of surf foiling and, in particular, pumping, coming off the wave, and looking for another one to try to get that elusive link-up. So when you're surf foiling, the feeling and sensation of surf foiling, riding above the wave, and riding these tiny waves, is amazing.  Exit the wave on the shoul …

So you're learning how to body drag, you're learning how to boardstart... that's a l …
