So great to have a friendship with the China's number 1 pump foil family, Jeffrey, Judy, Salt and Didi. Even better that eleven year old "Salt" is outfitted with the Foiling Frenzy pump foil gear... He has pumped around for 50 minutes as his current record for endurance. Never mind that, he recently competed in his first competition in China at Nanxun. Not only did he win his age category without peer, but he came 2nd overall against the adults!!! The field of adults included many of the top names in Chinese pump foil community - so the competition was hot. Well done Salt - we can't wait to see what else you can achieve in the future. #pumpfoil #dockstart #foiling
