“A Progression Project forum first-hand report documents an assisted foil session inside San Francisco Bay at Fort Point while the ocean beaches were blown out. The rider found 4–6 ft lumpy water on a mid-rising tide, shared the area with two hopeful longboarders and recorded a dozen waves at or above about 20 mph.”
