I FOUND MY PERFECT PRONE FOIL BOARD (First rides on the Portal Trans Medium 17)

What's up everyone,

In this entry I am stoked to say that after 11 months and 5 boards later I have found my perfect prone foil board. I got my Portal Trans Medium 17 about a week and a half ago literally a week after getting my skipper by Appletree. After my first session on the Portal I realized that it is doing everything that I want to do. Amazing and predictable pop up, great pump and able to carve turns. With that said through any other trail and error I realized that the skipper is just not for me. Construction, paddling where a definite pro but for what I want to do it just was not working. Also in this entry I decided to film it in my garage instead of speaking right after a session. I really like the idea of being able to physically hold what I am talking about to better explain my experience. The only downside is that in order to get better light I have to leave the door open which then allows outside sounds in. So please feel free to let me know what you think of this new potential format and if the outside sound is too distracting I will resolve it. Anyway I hope you're all having a great day and getting on foil.
