Look at that!
Isn’t that amazing!
Aw, there he goes.
Everyone should have a Grams do their commentary.
Who knew Sam knows the church lady
Awesome
The hydrofoil was great and your Grandmothers commentary was priceless! Rob
There Sam’s Goes!
Your Grand Mother adds a lot of color during her narration! Wonderful…There Sam’s Goes
Great slogan, I will take a T Shirt XL.
we all need an “oh look at that!” “isnt that amazing!” type of person in our life
Granny is very impressed with you.
I like how you do everything one handed b/c you are holding the camera!
Sam, you are incredible, your grandmother’s comments are priceless!
Glad your experience with Clearwater was better than mine.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, keep on trying, try, try... again. Sam, you are the epitome of perseverance. That looked like a lot of fun. Well worth it.
I love Sam’s can do attitude! It’s so American and there’s not enough of that these days.
The oboe was a very funny music choice for the first test ride
i love the excitement 25 minutes in!
I was waiting for a beach umbrella as your DIY wing.
solid effort building and flying a foil board!!
Started watching your vids in early April and I've viewed them all and I'm not a sailing fan. I was most impressed with the health situation vids you shared. As a 74 year old, paraplegic for 27 with similar bathroom issues, I was so happy to see someone else share the intimate life issues we have to get through a day. Ive tried to do similar going to hospitals, extended care facilities to tell others that life can go on, it's not a death sentence. I salute you for being so open about it and putting it on a vid. It is a breath of fresh air in a situation that is so demonized by others. Great job. I'll continue even though I was a 30 year helicopter pilot and never got sick but I get sick just watching some of your vids. Much admiration.
That thing is so cool. I remember cypress gardens had an air foil competition and that was one of the coolest water sports I’ve seen. Good job Sam.
You sure got the hang of that Sam. Nicely done.
Dude. The stoke your family brought to the commentary is amazing.
Sam the man - your Hydrofoil surfboard project was well done, and you proved Sam, it takes time and a lot of effort, but practice makes perfect. Thanks for sharing!
Sam.. your enthusiasm and vibe are infectious.
I clicked to watch someone build a foil. I subbed without even knowing what your channel and other videos are about. ..cos it doesn't matter. ☝️😁
Looking forward to seeing more adventures, amigo!
Love the commentary when you were behind the boat!
Your expertise shines through in your fabrications. You gained some great skills from ur past at disney and wherever else
Sam Holmes Hydro Foiling DYI style. Thanks for sharing.
This project shows why you have been so successful. Your work ethic is second to none, balls of steel and a general love of life. Much respect.
Thank you for honest video showing how cumbersome was the process of learning to hydrofoil on the board.
Just a tip mate, whenever you are gluing up with glass and epoxy you must keep all parts 100% clean of ANY and all contaminants. Throwing those parts onto a dirty bench and constant handling will leave residues of oils, grease, dirt and anything else thats on those areas
Your family is your greatest fans. I know they miss you when you're so far from home.
How could you fail with a hype gran like that!
it was fun listening to her in the background
I learned how to water-ski on an old wooden Maharaja ski 40 years ago. Five years later this thing called a scurf board came out, I about beat myself death learning how to use it. But I can still feel the sense of victory once I was able to stay up. 😁 good times.
Use spackle on the polystyrene before glassing so it doesn't absorb so much resin.
I’m just starting on this sport too. I can (just) get up on foil under sail and it’s amazing how quiet it gets on foil under sail. Great value the way you built it!
Thank you for this great video. I like that you are always keeping busy and trying new things.
Have seen a few cats and monos, use the "boat kite" to give the boat extra speed. That could be a cool idea to test. As far as i know they are electric operated. Fair Winds Sam :0)
your homemade ski rope has got to be making it waaayyyy harder, those floats throwing your weight off.... i mean dang, well done. get that thing sliding down a swell
Epic closing, back on the boat. Can't wait Sam ! Thanks for all the inspiration
26:00 - that’s definitely a Male tow rope & the encouragement from the boat crew was super cool to hear.
that was cool, i especially like the commentary, i heard it while making a plate of food and thought of ed bassmaster.
wow that was really cool! Glad to see that clearwater is doing well, I've watched his stuff for a while now. That was really quick progression at the end! stoked to see you up and riding so fast!!
Sam, been watching you and your crazy antics since that first trip to Hawaii. Really good to see that twinkle in your eye and being back on pickled herring... Looking forward to what's coming
Another great video. That’s a cool foil, good job building it too. I hope you do build a boat one day. CLC has some great kits for smaller boats. A stitch and glue plywood sailing dingy would probably be a great place to start, but I would love to see you build your next cruiser. The satisfaction and accomplishment would be amazing; to sail across an ocean on a self built boat… one of my dreams.
Congrats Sam, you did really well !! 👍💪👏😊
Get a used Slingshot hover glide with a infinity 76 or 99 wing and it’ll be WAY easier!!
Loved watching the journey, reminds me of the blood sweat and tears I put into learning to foil on a kite. It was worth it and opened up a whole new way to experience the water.
Looking forward to seeing where you go with this!
Such a fun project - you crushed it (on the build and in the water!)
Awesome! Stoked to see you flying it at the end🤌🤙 Even more stoked to see you back to the sails. I bought my first sailboat last year and am learning more every time out in the bay. Going to take it over the bar out into the pacific this summer for the first time.
"Look at that" .... hahaha .. my favorite part.
Great Video! Looks like fun!
That’s very Inspiring Sam
12/10 👍
Your gran is the best!!
Good job, Sam.
That looks like a lot of fun!!!😃
Awesome Sam! such a fun video
Oh my god, isn’t that amazing! Love it
That was awesome dude! I knew you'd get it sooner or later well worth the work huh ❤️👍
23:00 - that's the most casual surf music I've ever heard. I think I need a martini.
Super fun to watch!
Very good video!
Sam, I bet you could build a great camera tripod/stand!! Lol
Good work fellow goofy footer 🤙🏼
"Look at that!"
Awesome!
Freakin awesome...should of called me up, I would of help you.. let me know if you want a custom paint job on that bad boy...have fun in Sweden..can't wait for the videos..
“Fixing it up” for you greenhorns means putting more holes in the boat!
I reckon some foot loops, an umbilical tether and a kite, and you'll be flying!
Great fun Sam, if you are looking to try all from of sailing when you sail south you need to try land yachting. There are a heap of sailing schools on the channel coast. I can recommend it, sailing at 60mph is wild.
Good job 👍🏼
Sam is the only human being who builds his own hydrofoil, and figures out how to use it the same day.
Prettt surprised how well it did compared to carbon everyone pushes
needs and auto flap like the foiling moths
great video, thank you. good health to you.
I’m going through exactly the same curve myself. Exhausting but keep trying! Loosen up those hips for dynamic form.👍🏻
Great video 👍 as always interesting 👍
Sam it's a good thing your thing is water sports. I lost count at how many times you fell of before you got it. Great entertainment.
Welcome back to Sweden Sam 👋😀
Great work - on building the board, and learning to ride it! For fiberglass work, I recommend looking up the Burt Rutan video, "Building Rutan Composites Build Your Own Aircraft" on UA-cam - uploaded by "firstflight video." It's 40+ years old now, but still valid and relevant for building non-molded composite parts like your hydrofoil, as well as airplanes and boats. The principles of proper closeouts and edges are totally valid - shows how to make it structurally strong as well as how to keep water from getting inside. One tip: to avoid using so much resin on the first glass over the foam, first mix up a batch of thickened resin - Burt used glass microballoons, but other lightweight fillers would probably work fine. Doing this will save resin as well as saving weight. In the decades since there've obviously been other techniques developed - like using 3D printing for forms, as well as using "low vac" vacuum bagging for foam core composite structures.
Sam great video and loved seeing you get up on that thing. Should you wish to venture into surfboard glassing I would highly recommend Fiberglass Hawaii’s videos. I hope that helps.
Awesome! you could have easily just bought a foil board, but making your own is so cool and way more fun!
Damn Sam, Your a fricking surfer now also , Way to go bro , you give me confidence in seeing you stat a project , work throught some issues and next thing you know - your hanging ten on a hydro foil. Hellz Yeah bro, Peace!
If you would get a head mount for camera,you would have 2 free hands in which to work
Awesome!
Looks like a good leg workout, surprised how strong the board is
look at that. that sure is amazing
"LOOK AT THEAT!!"..classic!!
SCREW THE AESTHETIC ISSUES M8, YOU DID IT AND YOU ARE DOING IT. GOOD JOB MAN.
Hi Sam, enjoy your sailing vids, a suggestion I would love to see is when you mention sailing terms, It would be great to have some kind of diagram of the boat with an arrow pointing to the term/part mentioned, educational and fun!
Best thing to do is pick up a basics of sailing book after a day everything in videos starts to make more sense. Then when you actually sail the first time it's a whole new respect for the crossings this dude has done, you go like wait wtf...and he is alone sleeping during this in the middle of the ocean?? 🤣🤩🤟
You want to learn fiberglassing check out "Onboard Lifestyle ep.1 Building our Dream Catamaran" The guy is a bit too fastidious. But he does Beautiful work and knows the materials that go into boat building. I spent many hours watching him remodel an older Catamaran. Keep it up dude, I'm 68 and living through you now!😎 Surfs up!
It’s like flying
Woodja look at that!
Nice job! Those are NOT easy to ride. I'm amazed at how fast you got it!
Watching this I knew that had to be a grandma we could hear only a grandma lives and dies with your successes and failures like that.
TOO COOL!! 👍
"Oh." "Ohh." "Ohhh." "Ohhh." "Oh, look at that. Oh no." "Oh, look at that. Oh no." "Oh, look at that, oh my god. Oh no." "Oh, look at that. Oh no." "Oh, look at that. Oh, that's so amazing." "Oh, look at that. Oh, that's so amazing." "Oh, yeah." Hahahaha.
Nice job Sam and well done on the progression and for showing us all that. Reminds me of knee boarding for the first time and trying to get the thigh strap all set before you get wiped. Or, kicking the second ski off for the first time when trying to slalom ski for the first time and then trying to get your back foot in the loop before you get a death wobble and face plant. Or, windsurfing for the first time and trying to turn to starboard on a port tack, holding on just a bit too long, after you messed up and ending up on top of the sail in the water :)
Cheers, Sev
Look at that!!
Now drill some holes in it and sail it to Sweden!
Looks like he’s already in Sweden.
Look at that hahaha love it
Look at thaaaat !!
Sam,
At the end of this post you mention practicing a little more, and then heading back to thEurope. Pickled Herring (in northern europe).
After watching you Saul that old hobi to the Bahamas and seeing some of your incredible single handed ocean crossings, I have to ask, are you crossing on the hydro-foil???
Just kidding, PLEASE don't 🙏 🙂
You are really something!
Next time you go out try with your foil mounted further back. It looked like the foil was struggling to get over the speed hump and stalling (the tell is board nose height). With the foil back in the track box you'll have less front foot pressure (the board wont feel like its popping up so much) but you'll get up to board hull speed faster before slowly rising up. Good foiling technique feels like bad Hobie trapezing (front leg bent, back leg straight).
Two hands while learning . . . !
What a task Sam, you made a good job of it.
How’s the gliding going?
Once Sam figures out how to store provisions onboard, he will be sailing it to the Arctic Circle.
"There he goes" "OMG!" Superb Sam! 💪🏼 How where your arms the next day? 😁
I’m looking to maybe build this same kit. I want to adapt a motor to it. Have you used this enough to say whether it could be added to this model. Using one for stand up paddle board now.
