They probably haven\u2019t been to the Hatchery on the Columbia River on a windy July afternoon and witnessed the indescribable aerial antics. Or seen the intensity of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/PCIEb0H7Ypw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wing foiling at Jaws.<\/a> Maybe they haven\u2019t had the chance to witness the brilliance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinertia.com\/surf\/cash-berzolla-wing-foil-patagonia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Cash Berzolla<\/a>, tearing apart a wind-strewn wave on Maui that culminates on a lava-rock lined shore.<\/p>\n<p>Because that, my friends, is surfing on steroids. And this is Cash personified. The 20-year-old grew up on the Valley Isle, and as you\u2019ll see above, is a compact, powerful surfer with excellent technique. Throw in the wing and his control of the wind and you have something, well, otherworldly, really.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t been here before, welcome to SESSIONS, our series where we follow a single surfer around their home break to get a little piece of what drives them. Mostly, it\u2019s the same thing that drives you: riding waves. That\u2019s it, that\u2019s all. No BS.<\/p>\n<p>And while a foil session on Maui is a little bit different than our normal episode, Cash\u2019s control of the elements makes him a damn fine watch.<\/p>\n<p>Find more episodes of SESSSIONS, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-wUmBa-AnMU&amp;list=PLct2p_IBKgoysInRtC74gQjEiscbRSSQJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Editor\u2019s Note: This feature is presented by our partners at Armstrong Foils.
