How many of you listen to music on your cell phone while foiling? Since it's so quiet up on foil, thought I'd listen to some rock n roll on my phone when foiling. I always bring my phone in my drypack and stick it in my wetsuit. Why not make the best of it and listen to music too!

"Go Sail Away", by Stix! Hope the wind will come up enough today to try this out.

I use the new Sony Walkman, all the songs are loaded into the headphones, no wires required. I believe that they were designed for swimming, fully waterproof and small. I have it full of ABBA

Wind was great for foiling, and turned on Pandora for tunes. I was impressed! It worked pretty well! Couldn't hear anything when I shloged out for less than 1 minute, but then as soon as I was up on foil, music to my ears, with Lynerd Skinard playing. It's great background music when foiling. Will definitely connect to Pandora again for next foiling session! This adds to the thrill of foiling, rocking out to your favorite rock songs on foil!

... Lynerd Skinard ....

Unless that was the result of autocorrect, you are banned from listening to them until you can spell the name correctly. Hint: if you need to buy a vowel, choose "y". Keep repeating until you are done. Then, please listen to them, the Allmans and anything even remotely related to Muscle Shoals as much as you can.

As a son of the (progressive) south, that hurt to read.

One thing I've noticed about posting here is what I originally write, for some reason becomes transcribed after posting. I find myself editing several times through. Guess I was too tired after my session to correct it this time.

I hope my comment came across as light hearted. As I said, seeing that name for the majority of my life, it was an
interesting variation. For anyone not aware of the background story for the name, it's a good read that ends on a good (no pun intended) note.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynyrd_Skynyrd#Early_years_(1964-1973)

This is all very interesting, and I'm glad you mentioned it. I had no idea about the history of how the band got its name. Did some more research and found that the band had a few other names before it became Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was first called the "Noble Five" and a year later changed too, "My Backyard". The band later became Lynyrd Skynyrd after a high school coach named Leonard Skinner who had a huge impact on the band members life. The band ended up changing their name in honor of the coach, Leonard Skinner, but changing the spelling currently known as, "Lynyrd Skynyrd" to fit their band.

When not listening to Pink Floyd, my favorite sound is that of the mast tearing water.

That light sounding hum it makes cutting through the water, pleasant!

Thanks! It was a great day!

Can you turn up the volume please?
We couldn't hear the music?!

Hearing aids are available for those who need it.

Ole MagicRide is turning Klamath Lake into the foiling hotspot of the universe.

Oh wait, no, my Scooteney Reservoir in eastern Washington state already has that distinction.

I'm pretty sure Klamath water had never been cut by a foil until MagicRide started doing it. And I know for a fact that the same is true of Scooteney (also Charbonneau on the Snake River).

I think I'm the first windfoiler to cut the waters of Klamath Lake, but not the first foil. My 2 other budies did the cutting first on their kite foils and are still out. We have a blast out their. We were out yesterday. It has been windy almost every day.
