Foiling changed kiting for me. I quadrupled my total sessions the first year I started. Years later I remember seeing the first wingers at my spot flailing around. I though initially "That'll never catch on.. why not just kite?". Then maybe 4 months later I had a full wing setup and stopped kiting altogether for a looong time after. My kite, windsurf, sup board friends all hopped in, started meeting other wingers and what a first year. It was incredible learning with everyone and sharing the stoke. We launch out of the sketchiest areas we could never do with a kite and just session the shit out of it. This year is super promising🤞. There are many provincial parks/beaches and unknown waters that are just asking to be session'd. There are always so many cool people that come and ask about the sport and how to get into it. High five people in boats while they're moored out on the water. Other unknown wingers that come out after seeing you out and session with you. Meet up on the water or later and share stories/stoke/riding spots. I love it. Everyone is in such a awesome mood and that feeling/atmosphere is very addictive. Love the positive videos man🤙🤙.
The efoil is my obsession.. The ability to go out on a daily basis no matter how calm or crazy the conditions.. love it! 🏄🏼♂️🌊.. chasing tour boat wakes and depowering for minutes at a time is a game changer!
Agree with what you’re saying. The problem was there’s been a few wingers getting too inside and falling on a busy day. That actually really is dangerous for surfers for a big ass foil to get picked up and dropped on them in the curl. Any wingers surfing this spot need to be at a high level , this video is good vibes but can give people the wrong idea that any old winger can surf here with no worries. That’s not the case
Another great video Clay - wisdom , philosophy great footage and inspiring- I've been windsurfing for years and and now so motivated to learn foiling. Many thanks
Many many foil looks with terrible style at my break riding dangerously close to a pack of 40 surfers, been surfing there 16 years, have no problem with foils, done it a couple times myself but it's much more logical to go where surfboards can't because if you can surf a wave, why would you want to foil it and have to compete with a ton of other surfers. That outside roller at the gate is a perfect zone for wing foil, other spots not so much
Thanks for the talk hit me just the right time just came from snorkeling spot in Maui the coral has been so abused by us. I'M 60 NOW and get a glimpse of behavior from our last daughter who is 15 where are all the fish? She learned how to windsurf yesterday. Thanks lets try and clean up our act ha.
Awesome footage and great commentary. Love the section on efoils too. My buddy has a lift efoil with folding prop and he is surfing the swells also, and now learning to wing foil as well! So many great opportunities with the foils.
Great narration! Poetic! The voice was the heart of this video! I grew up in the Bay, Now I am too old to play... However, I remember my personal victories on empty waves...Good video!
For the guys on the surfboards, I would say CROWDED. One of the main reasons I quit surfing. Every time a decent swell came in there would be literally more boards than waves, and violence often ensued.
I wanna blow the day off and go efoiling. I live in vegas so I hit Lake Mead on it. I'm addicted to the sport. Getting into SUP foiling real soon... like this month. Going to Ol man beach real soon with the efoil. Keep up the content!!
not all foiling is done outside the break... thats where the danger and complaints happen ..when foiling gets too close to kids and guys on foamies /longboards / boogies etc
This is my favorite channel currently.. great content man

Thanks for bringing this, the love, the common sense, the wisdom, the STOKE!
Love how you worked "poop" into a surfing narration!
This is so... real. Inspirational thoughts man. Beautiful.
I like your narration a lot. YOU have good vibes

What would be even better during that depower mode, is to harness it and hybrid regen the battery 😎

GREAT FOOTAGE AND COMMETARY! STOKES ME!
Wind foiling makes the surfers look like KOOKS! There splashing around like an injured seals!
Let's not get ahead of ourselves...

Great riding Billy! Watching your foot switches over and over again. Slick!
The stoke is beyond words- ty

I was right there Sunday afternoon. The cool vibe was palpable. I was wanting to be out there on my kite.

From wind power to wave power=THE ULTIMATE FREE RIDE.
Thanks for reminding what I am missing. Glad you got it !!
Love it Clay! Keep the good vibes coming.

You can hear the stoke in his voice. He is high life.
I like the Efoil… first time seeing legit riding waves and swell…
What a watch 🤙fantastic
Special thanks to Flash Austin for making the first one in his garage. Blue collar North shore Maui!
you guys are crazy up there lol keep it up.
Thats some good wibes
Thanks!
awesomeness!!!
Dude nice words
So cool, but I do not think I am good enough to wing foil there yet... ^^.. I cannot even tack yet.. 😥😩
It's all good, when in doubt don't go out, better to practice the skills in a safe place and live to foil another day.
jumping without straps!! wow
Why are there no Kiteboarders or Windsurfers out there?
Those are the kiteboarders and windsurfers 😀
heaven ....
Any kite love Bru 🤙
