GNARLY downwind send! Maui to Molokai to Oahu on hydrofoil

  • I have had this idea of connecting Maui, Molokai, and Oahu on hydrofoil unassisted for a few months now. We have raced these channels before but only with an escort boat. I called up my friend Hobey Moss to join me and he was down! Enjoy the RAW POV action.

    Imagine surfing at Waikiki, looking back for your next set, and all of a sudden you see these two approaching from the deep blue.

    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

      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.

      They are surfing the swells that travel downwind. The paddling and pumping help build or maintain speed as they catch swells or move between swells, most of the energy for the trip comes from the waves. This takes incredible skill and guts to ride this far.
