🌊 Chasing Mountains: Tow Foil Retreat Portugal Recap 🇵🇹

There is a specific kind of silence that happens just seconds before the jet-ski throttle opens up. It’s that moment where the Atlantic swell starts to wall up behind you, and you realize you aren't just riding a wave—you're chasing a mountain.

Our latest Portugal Tow Foil Retreat was one for the books. This session, we were joined by Bobby, who made the trek all the way from Amelia Island, USA, to trade the Florida coastline for the raw power of the Portuguese Alentejo.

From Amelia Island to the Power of the Atlantic

Bobby didn't just come for the Pastel de Nata and the sun (though they certainly didn't hurt). He came for progression. In Florida, the conditions are beautiful, but the North Atlantic is a different beast entirely. It’s where "getting by" on a foil turns into "total control" in the pocket.

"The goal wasn't just to survive the drop; it was to master the flow. By the second day, Bobby wasn't just holding on—he was carving lines we usually only see from the pros."

🏄 The Setup: Bobby’s Armstrong Weaponry

To handle the sheer speed and precision required for these conditions, Bobby was riding a top-tier Armstrong kit. Here is the breakdown of the gear that kept him glued to the water while flying over it:
