I came back to this video because I always think about the greased bowling ball comment. This was totally my inspiration, took me nine months, but now can't imagine not being able to foil. Life changing!
when i first saw a video of these i thought it must have a battery powered prop on the foil but nooooo . lol . its the kick. and now they have E- Foils too. Do you size the foil by body weight ? nice design people :)
@Mark Povtarev this is an old comment, and not sure why I'm replying, but the effort needed compared to fun ABSOLUTELY is an important factor. I remember using a "Snake board" in the mid 90's. Great fun, but hard funking work unless you were on a lovely smooth surface.
Kai, 1st thank you for the great vid! Didn't see you take off on any waves only riding. I am 5'8", 195lbs and like you I prefer to ride small boards but looking at how small your foil board is how difficult is it to get into the wave? Mahalo, Dave Kailua, Oahu
the price is ok. but the thing is how reliable and the quality of this machine. if it breaks easily or shitty material. but if its very good and stuff im willing to buy it.
what if you hit a big fish or what if the fin hits a photographer or other surfers...bet the impact is much worse than a normal fin...really want to try this in Portugal
The only good thing I see about the foil board is a good leg work out. I've never seen the pumping over flat water to get back out. But a regular surfboard is just so much better for everything else.
The guys in this video are good guys and say they use it on not so good breaks where there’s few surfers to get in the way. Problem is kooks taking this to a crowded lineup. Which is dangerous to surfers, which may turn people off the eFoil completely.
Unreal,… what is this, what are we seeing? I remember Laird using these years ago, but, I didn't really think much of it. I'm wondering about shorter height hydro foils….?
give me the chance I'll do it . right on bro . .way cool . . like a try that thing at The Rockpile in North Laguna or maybe even the big Corona Jetty when it's all giant that would be a trip. . old dogs can learn new tricks
"I hope these boards don't get around, the damage they can do in the water to other people is ridiculous. Stick to normal boards everyone, " Share and like this comment so that people can see
Aloha Bro !
Surfed with you at Woodies today !
You are awesome and inspiring!
I am all in with the foil ! Thanks to you !
Mahalo my Braddah !
And now Kai is pulling off consecutive backflips on huge waves. The progression is insane.
I came back to this video because I always think about the greased bowling ball comment. This was totally my inspiration, took me nine months, but now can't imagine not being able to foil. Life changing!
I love the paddle back out !!
super Kai !
I'd never seen such a thing, this is awesome and weird
Looks fun. Never saw a take off though.
This looks way better than normal surfing
Says the guy who never learned to surf
Tym Othy Well, he did say “looks” not “is”
This would be great for Texas waves.
Im starting know. Do you change the foil size depending on de wave size? Thanks
Cool vid. Inspired to wear a hat like that chick in the vid when I go out surfing my mal. Looks comfy.
Super
This is a perfect way of surfing 🏄🚣🏊
That looks like a Naish Hover 112. Amazingly short but the ride looks smooth.
So the paddle into the swell is obviously assisted by the foil. Looks difficult.
Siiiiick!!! I wanna try!!!
I hope in the last 4 years he found it in himself to do 5 runs in one cycle instead of 4
when i first saw a video of these i thought it must have a battery powered prop on the foil but nooooo . lol . its the kick.
and now they have E- Foils too.

nice design people :)
E-Foils are cheating

Wow. Amazing
Hi Kai, a good store to buy from? Also, what board size would you recommend for mushy waves of the Gulf of Mexico? I'm 5.10 230lbs.
bowling ball with Vaseline... far out man 🙏🏼
What search words do I use to buy a foil board- Seems there are some for kites and larger SUP's. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Give me an old Clark foam stick anyday, my opinion.
wipeout / lose head?
It'd be nice to see how he actually started from in water to riding

Kai,
1st thank you for the great vid!
Didn't see you take off on any waves only riding. I am 5'8", 195lbs and like you I prefer to ride small boards but looking at how small your foil board is how difficult is it to get into the wave?

Hi guys, any of you knows the song title pls ? 1:11 thanks :)
Can’t wrap my head around physics of how this works
Google Bernoulli equations. same physics as an airplane wing.
Well guess who’s buying a foil board right now!
Have you been hit by the board or wing after falling off it?
J I️ Garuntee he has
Here ya go, Laird Hamilton, Foil, and Teahupoo.
how do you paddle in?
Dude that must be exhausting
Is fantastic
Congratulations
What beach is this?
foot strap's would help to flip and for the big air's
San O, ROCKS!
1:19 what's the music please ?
Darude sandstorm
Which board is it and can we buy it?
Best name ever
Crap soon all the good sea kayak breaks will be crowded.
Surfing the energy but not really the wave.... looks cool but doesn't have the tactile element of surfing.
Way harder to foil tho
I wish they weren't so expensive
Seriously. Like scuba diving, which is nearly free now that I have the gear, but to get it all cost$3,500+!
the price is ok. but the thing is how reliable and the quality of this machine. if it breaks easily or shitty material. but if its very good and stuff im willing to buy it.
It is new so have to rely on others trial and error.
install solar panel and take this baby to hawaii.
"and the theme of Jaws begins to play"
Love it!
so dangerous. if that edge hits you in the head, you are done
what if you hit a big fish or what if the fin hits a photographer or other surfers...bet the impact is much worse than a normal fin...really want to try this in Portugal
Longboarding wins every time ♥️🤙🏽
even in casualty count
👍👍👍
It's look easy Lenny !!! 🤔 affff
I love SAN ONOFRE!!
What kind of foil is that???? Doesn't look like to Gofoil.
Hamish Goodley naish
Mark Smith haha, no shit.
Zander Rabbit same
The only good thing I see about the foil board is a good leg work out. I've never seen the pumping over flat water to get back out. But a regular surfboard is just so much better for everything else.
Except you can foil a wave that a regular board can't.
you're*
Yeah well how do you catch a wave on that little skimboard? I can't see being able to paddle into a wave on it.
Where is this
I want one of these hydrofoil boards how much are they and where can I get one
Gary King man they ate expensive like 12000% dollars or so
For non Kai Lenny mortals there are now easier efoils like Liftfoils and fliteboard.. check my reviews
tiktok brought me here
what mast you have
But ya just cant throw buckets.....looks fun and hard work hahah.
yewwww🤙🏼
Magical. Also wondering what kind of internet troll would possibly 'dislike' this video?
Surfboard purists
The guys in this video are good guys and say they use it on not so good breaks where there’s few surfers to get in the way.

Dang, for a second I thought I found the old mans surf board but nah. Is it safer than regular surfing?
No
I don't know how that works but it is awesome
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofoil
Nice👌
Сколько ,такая штука будет стоить?
Who invented this...!
give me the chance I'll do it . right on bro . .way cool . . like a try that thing at The Rockpile in North Laguna or maybe even the big Corona Jetty when it's all giant that would be a trip. . old dogs can learn new tricks
is that makaha?
Lolol. No Huntington Beach prob. Read the title ya goon, it even says California
@@zacharyharris438 ah ok haha makaha can look like that though
That certainty looks like alot of fun, but I have to say it's not surfing. I'd love to give it a shot, however Ill keep my boards thank you.
someone already tried to skitesurf whit a foil?
I neeeeeeeeeeeeeed this
Motor erklären kindet
Whit’s battery and prop I heard their $12,000....😳
btw way to go son
wow
Fuck! Now i gotta buy a foil
@sacha barrière c'est ton pote ?
San Onofre:>)
So who watched kai at nazare?
Sano!
Could you surf mavs when it's not breaking?
HEK KAI LENNY CAN DO ENEY THING
KAWABUNGA
It's made for goons!
Sanooooooo
lol must suck when you hit the reef though
Reef in California? Yeah that would not only suck but be really surprising since it's mostly deep sand bottom in Cali.
Michael Kirst there is a lot of reef in SoCal but not everywhere so it may just be his location or your location
One of those things that should have been invented long time ago..
Why are you at old man's lol that's a slow wave church or lowers and uppers was a little drive down is a way better wave
what is this witchcraft?!
The pumping up and down looks stupid. Like embarrassingly dumb. Good luck boys.
How about you do you and let others do them? Or is that too much to ask of your enormous embarrassingly dumb ego?
Looks dangerous for other surfers in the water.
I don't understand why every time there is a clip of surfers or any other sport they HAVE to include a woman.
These things are a real injury hazard to everyone. Solid aluminum blade that is traveling real fast and deep. If you get run over - your fuqed
i agree someone is gonna lose their arm or leg when an idiot foil on you in the water.
I've been surfing for 50 years I would never ride this s*** product!
Literally nobody asked.
Foil = cheat
Nah it's just a lame ass cross fit workout its harder than surfing in so far as its more of a workout so it's not cheating its just lame.
shouldn't they be wearing helmets?
u235u235u235 why?
Beware accident prone area.
😆😆😆😆😜😜✌✌✌
I think the only fucking idiot here is the one insulting for such an insignificant topic, and who, the more so, is definitely not a surfer.
It's bool shit to surf you need to be on top of the wave that tiny fin will not holde the 200 lbs man up in air at that speed
"I hope these boards don't get around, the damage they can do in the water to other people is ridiculous. Stick to normal boards everyone, " Share and like this comment so that people can see
no.
no, dont think i will
The dangers surfboards have to swimmers in the water is ridiculous. Stick to swim fins everyone.
boards and people scare the wildlife and damage the ocean's natural waves. stick to standing on the beach.
Lol fucking idiot
Lame! Less is more!
