Ed Junquet, Kekai Alferes and the parallels of Downwind foiling and Jiu Jitsu
Ed Junquet (Jeff Spicoli on instagram) was out in Hawaii for a week and scored great winds blowing 15-25mph his whole stay here. He was downwinding the Hawaii Kai run every day with all the voyagers, and sending numerous times a day logging a lot of miles, seeing the patterns, acclimating to Hawaiian voyaging, and training Jiu Jitsu at night like a true savage! Jiu jitsu and foiling have always been so similar in everything. The learning curve, the community, the humility, the constant progression, the constant variables, the mental aspect, and the list goes on and on. Ed, Kekai and i discuss the fun analogies of jiu jitsu, life and downwind foiling concepts and principles. Have a listen and enjoy our shared conversation!
