I’d only seen those hydrofoil boards with a motor attached to them, mind blowing how fast & far you can go with just the foils, leg power, and tons of youthful courage. Great adventure, awesome editing, great vid. Congrats to both of you - this one’s bound to stay in your hard-drive long enough to tell your own kids about it.😊
@@extremechimpout You couldn't be more wrong - the ones that do are called e-foils, where the "e" stands for their built in electric motor, which are the ones I mentioned I'd seen before. The ones this kid rides are fully autonomous and rely on water currents, balance and the pumping action you see him doing. The reason he makes it look so effortless is simply due to the fact that he is one of the best in the world at it, and his buddy is really good as well. The science behind this technology is fascinating and quite intricate - check out this vid explaining the physics of it all, though to be honest a lot of it goes beyond my comprehension - basically they work akin to airplane wings, where the water current as opposed to air beneath the wings creates the lift you see. Of note, all I've read since watching this vid mentions that it's extremely difficult to master them, and many suggest you need to be an experienced surfer first - the other option is learning with the e-powered ones. Here's a deep dive into the physics: ruclips.net/video/fzig8JR2iT0/видео.html
That's crazy. 20 years ago this is a full video part with sponsorship and Laird Hamilton talking about the science behind it. Today it's just this quiet video on youtube with 100k views. Props guys!
I can’t count how many times I’ve come back to watch this. Absolutely inspirational every time. It simply crushes every notion and perception I’ve had with every conceivable inter-island travel possible. Unreal.
Something so satisfying about watching the foil blade cut through the water. I need to try this. Thank you for sharing this adventure. Loved watching it. ...I'd need like a heavy duty mini umbrella that I could deploy to pull me when my legs get tired...that is one hell of a work out.
For all of you wondering what’s powering them - they are riding the same open ocean swells that surfers ride when they come close to shore and break. The difference with the foils is that there is so little resistance that they are able to ride swells that are moving quickly and are not very steep.
Epic crossings, I’ve crossed the Ka’iwi channel 5 times by sailboat from LA. Seeing those swells brings back a flood of memories. There’s nothing like downwind swell riding.😎
Aloha! I am so glad you two did this together for mutual support and also for sharing it with a comrade. This is science fiction come to science fact. Next is Hawaii to California.
Epic ride!! It would be great to see the angle from on the board, right behind you. Those "flying" moments with your arms out - the viewer would just FEEL it with you, visually. So beautiful! Mahalo for this uplifting video! 🌺 🌺 🌺
the conditions at the end looked dreamy.. fast and clean..I don't do DW but kite and wing now. 65yo just started. From Alaska hard to be a waterperson LOL
I have _never_ heard of this sport until now and I'm fascinated by the mechanics of it. I'd love to model those wings and run some CFD on them to see how they generate lift and what performance improvements could be made.
🤙🏽 this video giving me flashbacks on my journeys through the Ka’iwi channel and Pailolo too. Na Wahine o Ke Kai 5x. Never a dull moment lots of mental thoughts tho. So awesome you guys did without escort boats. Just send um, one speed kine.. 😂 Solid. Mahalo fo Sharing🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽😂
I love your channel... Soon you all will be giving hydrofoils away. I live in Oxnard California, love to you send it to Channel Islands... if possible!
that's really far... and would require a lot of prep and planning... I dont even like flying my plane over that much open water.. let alone a hydrofoil. i'm sure the difficulty in that is at least 1000x more than maui to molokai. kert. lanai hawaii.
This is freaking amazing! Island to island on foils! So I don't understand, how do they keep going? What's providing the forward push? Whatever it is, it's very cool. Well done lads.
Watching this at 2am on the upper west side of Manhattan. Didn’t know this even existed. Clearly, I have to go down the YT black hole on this. Guess I’m going into work late tomorrow
I've e-foiled before, and I am not understanding how you guys are able to cover so much distance with so little pumping?! I need to learn this when I am in hawaii next!
Epic! All time! Wanna know what it felt like: Fear? Exhausting? Easier/harder than you thought? Did you guys take a break or one shot? You should send this in to Good Morning America or similar show! Mahalo!
Thank you! It was amazing. There’s so much energy in these channels and to get to do them without an escort really shows you how small you are. It’s really easy to get caught up in the mix when you’re racing and there’s other competitors and other boats around you . But when you’re solo, it’s a whole nother level of excitement and adrenaline. Pure concentration and pure flow state - extremely relaxing to be honest.
Dang so you’re saying I could just cruise after the ferry from NY to CT? Looks sick! If I weren’t rightfully scared of the ocean you’d probably catch me on the news… or maybe not cause I could totally cheat with our unused boat.
This wouldn't be possible without waves. That's why they have to go downwind. If you're on calm waters you'd have to be pumping with you legs non-stop. You can see them riding the waves
@@jsmit9484 Thanks for your comment! (Cool! I had previously seen riders doing just that (constant pumping), and couldn't understand the riders here having looong cruising time. The small sail was even nicer! Too late for me now, but at least I know what fun it could have been. I'll have to have fun vicariously! Take care!)
Hey. You changed from eagle x 800 to 900 for this downwind. Is it only for the take off with the paddle to make it less tiring? Or is it also for the ride itself? Can you explain the differences you feel between the 800 and 900. thx
Shout out to you brother. Great video, and even more amazing journey. If it's cool, I wanted to shout you out and play some of your video on my podcast. Much Aloha brother. Edit: I subbed you up 🤙
@@jackfromtown Right On Brother. I actually go live in an hour. Shoots, less than an hour. Hopefully I'll see you in chat. Would love to have you there to promote you a little more. 🤙 Shoots, maybe have you on panel, if interested.
So no motor? What’s your average mph? Do you have to read the ocean and turn into certain areas to get more speed? Or can you just go in a straight line with the same effect?
Imagine surfing at Waikiki, looking back for your next set, and all of a sudden you see these two approaching from the deep blue.
yea id be like thats a nice board. do they make them for men?

He’s using the waves and currents also.
@@Ryan-go9wc Yeah and the engine

I didn’t know this was even possible, that’s awesome, you guys are nuts!
without a motor it isnt. he barely pumps at all....

"You caught a nugget from outside? Bro, we caught this wave all the way from Molokai..."
That was an incredible Molokai to Oahu run. The channel looked glassy but you guys were flying on those bumps.
Thank you Jack for the video! This is absolutely awe inducing video.
Absolutely frkn mental! You guys are charging so cool to follow along!
I never knew hydrofoils could surf ocean swells! What an amazing feat, thanks for sharing your journey. I’m envious of that freedom 😊
40 miles ?! Absolutely amazing man!!!! Fantastic fun!!!! Absolutely the greatest water adventure device EVER created: THE FOIL. 🎤 drop.💯
Aloha!
I am so glad you two did this together for mutual support and also for sharing it with a comrade.

Next is Hawaii to California.
Idk about Hawaii to California, but maybe California to Alaska ?! Great fun thought right ?!!

The fact that this is possible is mind blowing to me. You guys kick ass!!
he did it with a motor he removed for the full shot of the foil to appear to be able to do something no one else can
Incredible.. so stoked you made it ❤
wow dudes. This is my introduction to hydrofoil... 😂😂😂😂 coolest video ive seen in a long time. Great job
Wow the freedom of that moment in life.. I felt that
love it. Just a bag of water and a paddle, Need to get into this sport. SLAY
From ripping Blalock to crossing channels. You are living a good life! Hello from Oregon 😊
the conditions at the end looked dreamy.. fast and clean..I don't do DW but kite and wing now. 65yo just started. From Alaska hard to be a waterperson LOL
Good stuff boys. Amazing. Mahalo!

Great job guys. A true adventure. Very inspirational. I will save this video and may contact you soon for an even more interesting challenge.
Absolutely awesome you guys, epic achievement.
Fearless and brave!!
Well done both of yall
I love your channel... Soon you all will be giving hydrofoils away. I live in Oxnard California, love to you send it to Channel Islands... if possible!
The blue of that water will forever amaze me!!
i dont know anything about hydrofoiling but this is so sick!!!
Epic, and what a magical experience to be out there with the birds (Laysan Albatross I think?) dynamic soaring the waves.
worlds biggest playground at your disposal! so awesome for you. living the best life.
Thank you for sharing this, really nice edit. The second downwinder with the violin music is particularly nice to watch 🤩. Also insane performance.
Subscribed. How much for one of those hydrofoils? All who love freedom should Love this!
It’s so interesting. I really want to know the mechanics behind it. Cool video brah thanks for sharing
Very impressive, foils on everything! What would've been useful would've been a map with some marks on it to show the route...
How awesome is that! Congrats guys❤
F'ing love it. Congrats. Keep pushing limits!
Insane, love it. Now you're voyaging!!
Great video! Insane treck!
Madness. Props to you both!
Brilliant! A narrow board makes a lot of sense to me. Probably not the best for a novice though. Right?
Oahu to Kaua'i next?!?! Awesome send...great video! Aloha!!

Yeah Boys!!!! This gets me stoked on the July Races!!!
This is gnarly, not many can say they have done something like this.
insane send some people would think twice before doing that on an actual boat!
Epic. That last music track was sick, what is it? Need that for my playlist.
wow wow wow to this! Epic send braddas
Heard pan pans bout sup boarders headed to Oahu from Molokai. Glad to see you guys made it.
Nice Brahhh, you took off right down the street from my place in Napili. Aloha

Wow, so epic! Glad this vid found me :)
I could feel your stoke. Glad you believed and made it happen.
could you make video from Maui to Big Island? big challenge?
Super dope and inspiring! Thanks for your energy and spirit, Boyz!! Aloha!
Super cool!! Just love it!
How did the waves / a wave, affect the airfoil, as compared to, for instance, a calm surface? Life vests a must…
This wouldn't be possible without waves. That's why they have to go downwind.
If you're on calm waters you'd have to be pumping with you legs non-stop. You can see them riding the waves

You guys are real Waterman excellent
I love bros. So much bro.
wow crazy/fun! no VHF?? no phone connection just in case....??
Ive done that Pailolo crossing in my two man kayak with my friend flying a kite in the front. So fun
Epic video. 🙌🏼
Ive broken leases before on normal body boards or surfboards. At the beach. I'd be using 2x leases for considering how far off it is lol
What size foils front/back and mask length where you guys using, thanks for sharing your video.Glad was a safe foiling trip
900/145/80
Did you guys ever spot any Tigers out there? Just curious!
What happen if you lose Moment and fall of board can you just bounce it back up?
Loved the vid! What was the song for the return trip? Shazam is no help!
fire vid, what was that last song?
What did I just watch? Man that’s crazy. Like you think they would at least have a kite.
I love those brand new 2003 Toyota Tacomas!
Dude that was psycho, crushed it.
That was amazing. Is it exhausting? How did you get home?
Super cool! You should have a vfh .
Aloha. That was insane.
How long did each way take? Epic video brah!!!!!
2 hours from Maui and 3 from Molokai
The cameraman swimming beside him:
🏊🏻😫🏊🏻🥵🏊🏻😫🏊🏻🥵😮💨
Nice video. How fast are you averaging?

Same exact wing. One just has a little bit more lift and glide. I used a 900 because I wanted to cruise and stand. Conserve energy too.
Shout out to you brother. Great video, and even more amazing journey. If it's cool, I wanted to shout you out and play some of your video on my podcast. Much Aloha brother.

Reading ocean swells and navigating a line to connect them. No motor. Average speed 15 mph.
Where can I get one of those foil boards?
Would a wing suit be a good add on if it's the wind that drives you?
Incredible! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
somebody sponsor this guy
Reading the title, I had an impression you're riding that thing from Maui to Molokai then to Oahu, no?
Frick yeah boys! That’s insane, good job!!
