The joy in these sports is found in the learning curve, the sweet spot. Too easy is meaningless. But expanding, overcoming fear, or pushing one's envelope, in a given a set of conditions, is what the sport really is, and that, has a spiritual quality...
The sensation of flying above the water on a foil is amazing. Additionally, as the team rider mentioned, the foil opens up places and conditions that were previously not fun to ride due to the chop or light winds.
I guess im randomly asking but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Roland Arjun thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
The Advantage is, that you can surf smaller Waves and kite in less wind? But it is a little bit like vapourised smoking or electric grill but barbecue?
What very perfect description of the feeling when you go foil.... The 3-4 days flying effect after a 1 hour Session is Something i never ever had before 🤙
A question: I haven't tried kiting because my location does not have the beach space for launching, or the necessary wind very often. Now these wings seem to need less wind, and are hand held. So why can't we make smaller kites (the size of a wing 3-5 m) and short lines? Then, we'd get more power by being maybe 20 feet up with the kite, but without the tremendous (dangerous) lift or long, long lines. Why not? Kind of like a trainer kite?
Not sure what you want... Small kites from 4 to 5m surface area already exist and are very common. You can find a 5m Cabrinha Apollo brand new right now for 250 bucks, a great deal. I don't think I need to tell you how you could shorten existing lines to whatever length you wanted... Lol. The problem is the wind gradient, part of why kites generate so much power (which is usually desirable unless you have great high wind always) is because they are up so high in the less obstructed, more powerful wind. On light wind days you rig longer lines to eek out more power by getting the kite up higher.
I still have my parter lynn foil. Never wears out. I have my old windtech. Long before n Mash. I was the with the very few in my country doing kite boarding before mash.
This looks amazing. You could cover serious distance with ease given steady wind. I suppose there's a reason all the America's Cup boats are foil boats now! Amazing that such a revolutionary innovation was still to be found in the ancient technologies of sailing and surfing.
I see people foiling just for 30 minutes at the time then get bored and back to shore but real windsurfs stay out . The feeling of the board slicing and sliding the water is unmatchable
You pronounce your surname 'Nash" Interesting. I'm a surfer too in Western Australia , Jamie Naish. The Naish over here is Naish like Nation , without the 'in' at the end . Nice vid.
I grew up skiing, racing, etc. since 3 years old. I would trade that in for the same in windsurfing any day! I’ve been windsurfing 30+ years. The stoke factor and fun factor are much greater, will start foiling this summer! Get out there and do it!
Redbox what makes it a "fad" ? I'm guessing fish will just get out of the way having sensed the foil coming like they would if it was a predator (or not and get eaten) For the relatively small numbers of surfers in the world occasionally hitting a fish I don't think it's a major concern for conservation. There are bigger issues and things killing sealife
avsachs i typed that years ago on fb. Never got any answer from the protagonists... just think of sea turtles, they are smart and fast but not always that much. With boards you often come to close contact when in their areas. What about mid water foil coming to them, how do they react espacially when breaching for air. I wld defenitely not like to experience that...
Why do all the dicks come out and talk bad? Must hit a switch in um! Negative emotions show you where treated badly when younger and now are portraying what you have learned. Grow up. Live and let live.
ridiculous you don't fell the same like fly because you are not flying and you don't feel the ocean because you are not touch the water, and looks nerd all time pushing. another invent for rich(nerd) people.

@Roland Arjun it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Zakai Gatlin You are welcome :)
The soul of the surf is the contact with the skin of the wave.
LOVE iT!!!! Also got one now here in Zell am See, Austria and it's simply AMAZING!!! :)) SURF ON in a totally NEW DIMENSION!
I got 'stoked' by just watching!

Hello from Yerevan!

As long as your hands and arms hold out.
that surfboard at the end of the video, does that have a motor on the foil,?
no
I'm a total landlubber, but the high L/D of the foils obviously is a huge plus- there are lots more small waves than big ones. Too freaking cool!
ive never had a new kite....all my kites are 3rd hand..waiting to pop or leak
any comments on FRPgear fin-foil?
I see people foiling just for 30 minutes at the time then get bored and back to shore but real windsurfs stay out . The feeling of the board slicing and sliding the water is unmatchable
Maybe foiling stays but I don’t for a long time while I am riding these ^^
awsome, totally awsome!
Where is that beach?
Rex Pechler it’s a mix of Kaneohe Bay, Kailua, Lanikai, and Mokoleia. All Oahu Kitespots. There were tiny bits at other locations.
Amazing tech and talent.
@fassenkugel so if giant hydrofoils have been used on boats for decades the tech isn't amazing? Lol.
How-do-you-get-up-again-when-you-fall-off-200-yards-off-shore??
For the largee boards they have enough buoyancy to allow a restart on just board then rise out on foil.
He's right, it's like the best powder day ever
well... having done both quite a bit, i would say the best powder day ever is definitely more fun than your average foil session.
@@madsteeez I too have done a lot of both. Tough call.
You pronounce your surname 'Nash" Interesting. I'm a surfer too in Western Australia , Jamie Naish. The Naish over here is Naish like Nation , without the 'in' at the end . Nice vid.
I do. I chusak in Thailand
Damn, to be a ballsy 20 something again, give me a foiling surfboard or a wing suit.
0:04 Bluddy great knockers
pick your favorite...mine is kite foilsurfing in light winds!
I'd like to know of any of these kitesurfers can fly on the edge of a waterfall sideways
It is like snowboarding on the slopes vs going deep powder, I guess :)
Summary of comments here "If I don't think it looks fun, YOU can't think it's fun either!"
I want to see an ocean crossing
If this actually feels even half as good as skiing in powder i am defo down for it !
I grew up skiing, racing, etc. since 3 years old. I would trade that in for the same in windsurfing any day! I’ve been windsurfing 30+ years. The stoke factor and fun factor are much greater, will start foiling this summer! Get out there and do it!
Smooth!!!
try this for fun
Jump-Flying with that contraption? Don't kill anybody.
JRE got me here
'Cadillac Carving' sensation
The way Kai Lenny talks he just sounds like he has no idea what he’s talking about
wow, sun makes you age fast
indeed it does... max out on sunblock before its too late
So does sitting on your ass inside all day... Which life would you chooses?
I would rather die 10 years early then sit inside all day bored & being a p*ssy
@@MikeMPharmaCyclist ever heard of balance?
@@gavinhanson9213 whos sitting inside all day being bored? That doesnt sound nice
when did screwing around all day become a 'discipline'
When they invented surfing
Hans Zarkov This is life
kai lenny has a dutch accent
that's kevin langergee
That's kevin Langeree. And yes, he is Dutch.
Best sentence: You don't feel anything. And that's how it looks like. Boring, only technic...
yep the guy "comes back with a huge smile on his face" but he's obviously not feeling anything
Drago OH clearly you” e never ridden a foil. It’s amazing.
Haven't mowed your lawn? that what you feel when foiling--it's a boring sport, however, a good money making
Hai Nguyen well you don’t like it. So who fucking cares? It’s awesome
Drago OH yeah u feel, and its the most important feeling of windsurfing, called "speed"
I've tried it, got good at it and it's officially boring...a scam to spend ur dollar
I agree with you 110%
Just get a bigger kite and put it on a lawn chair with a board on the bottom. Then heliumize the kite for a trek.
hits rock
I am stoked for these guys but collisions with marine life would be a factor.
Redbox why do you think it more likely than boats or boards with dagger boards and fins in the water?
Happens with speedboats, ships, propellers, etc.
Redbox what makes it a "fad" ? I'm guessing fish will just get out of the way having sensed the foil coming like they would if it was a predator (or not and get eaten) For the relatively small numbers of surfers in the world occasionally hitting a fish I don't think it's a major concern for conservation.

Meanwhile billions of kilograms of tiny plastic shards are released every day into the ocean...
Blame Laird!
Thanks Laird!
Hahahahha.... yeah i think I'll keep my surfboard... thanks.
Guess you can only own one board? Hard life bro.
New Stoke
if hit a person, animal; slice n' dice?

yes, never ever allow one of these things in the line-up! I want to keep all my limbs intact.
I hit a fish xD, and yes.
Kitchen Magician!
Foilzzzzzz.......
Just because you CAN make something, doesn't mean you SHOULD make something.
cat's out of the bag
Noooo people are doing something different heaven forbid how dare they!
Imagine a big tanker on a hydrofoil😂
Cool, but I am not spending $$ in a foil board , still too expensive , bullshit, lmao
Foiling, not my thing.
lot of fake backgrounds in this video
First Donald Trump now this
yeah they r both awesome
Trump is great
"Make Windsurfing Great Again"
Trump wasn't first.
Looks boring
Yahhh another toy for the 1% rich kids of the world..
Couple grand. You do what you want.
Looks lame haha
