"The conditions were perfect with good breeze and sunshine adding to the feel good factor on the day. I haven't been 'foiling' before but I loved it. It's pretty extreme - at a certain speed the hull is lifted above the water and the craft skims along on the hydrofoils at great speeds. It's like snowboarding, just on water," explained Alex.
Richard Thompson from Carafino UK was on board Hugo Boss with Alex last week and was hugely impressed with not only the Open 60, but also with Alex.
"What a guy! He has this tremendous confidence with the water you don't see very often and was straight up and gone first time. His level of fitness is staggering and served him well on the Hydrofoil, I really was blown away by his performance. Alex looked completely at ease and was in control all the time."
