This kid keeps blowing minds! Laird Hamilton stated back in 2004 ("Riding Giants" movie) that hydrofoiling is the future of surfing. Kai, thanks for bringing the future to NOW!
most definitely this is the future coming out of the past with new horizons!!! this could unlock surf potential for lakes with windchop swells and be more fun and with manoeuvrability than an SUP or kite wouldn't be able to match! been into this hydrofoil tech for like 16 years so I know it works.. Thank you Kai for validating this super cool mode of applied hydrodynamic's!!!
Positively Kai! The last wave to shore is the dribble that I see on Miami Beach almost daily. Kai saying it transforms poor quality waves into perfect Malibu will get me to buy one.
man ... this is a whole new game .... a new frontier, this is the gate to a fully new era of surfing .... I think we all need to understand that .... being able to surf TWO waves , have you seen that ..... that is mind blowing ... seriously
no laird has been towing in on these hydro foil type boards, lairds design was too clunky and heavy to really be able to be paddled into. This is a fresh take on the hydrofoil surf board and is amazing, laird has never paddled into a wave on his hydro foils nor have i ever seen anyone do that pumping thing to carry their momentum.
vibratingstring yea ive seen thos before they were quite popular for awhile here in new zealand, but they really have nothing to do with this conversation so i dont really understand your point sorry.
Look up Surffoils. He's paddled in on his own home made foil boards and even he claims he wasn't the first to do it. The only new thing is pumping back out to catch another wave.
Kai, been watching a lot of foiling and it seems for a lot of riders it's evolving to a porpoise pump style even when on the wave which really isn't that pleasing to watch. Might be a crazy idea but I wonder if the foil/board combo can be designed to work with a more surf or skate style side to side pump rather than the up and down pump so you generate speed with turns which would look so much better. Might be impossible but sure would be cool!
@@raulfabbroni6252 Look more towards minimising turbulence and drag at the back of the foil. Birds and fish have loose tail drag not hard carbon fibre.
I'm amazed that he can ride such wimpy tiny waves with that thing. It looks deadly if he hits someone with that blade, though. And running aground in the shallows probably tosses you headfirst into the shallow bottom.
Wow. Crazy. Just got a Slingshot to pull behind my boat (inlander...ocean is 1800 miles away). Really anxious to get it flying and ride the wake. When he "porpoises", is there any energy from the water pulling back into the next wave to help propel him, or is his movement purely from gravity pulling him down and forward, then his energy pointing the board up again? In other words, on completely still water, can you porpoise a foil like this and continue to move forward?
Can't wait to take everyone else's waves on this so all they can do is watch me! Been waiting for the ultimate dominating board this is it- more than SUP. Plus, you can put stickers on it so it's looks like your spono'd and everything. Sure I might disfigure some one with that protruding hydrofoil but fuck am I get going to get shitload of waves- outta my way looks.
the board is cool but it kind of takes away the sense of achievement when you actually catch a wave. i'm not saying it's bad but in my opinion it's just not the same as actuall surfing
I see people getting scalped in a line up near you. This is even worse than the current SUP craze keep that dangerous boat keep away from everyone else and for anyone else that thinks they are just going to hop on and go go go think again this kid can probably ride anything even a piece of wood sorta shaped like a board.
Very impressive, thanks for sharing and blowing minds!
Wow game changer. I need one immediately.
Mind blowing!

Watched it so many times Kai! Blows my mind!
Oi you snaked my 4th linked wave brah
HAHAHAHAH
Lazaras Haha. Only a matter of time....

wow,wowooooo!! amazing!!
wow thats amazing
foil lord so good! Inspired and changed my life. mahalo
Unreal!
That's so amazing
That poor guy at 2:35 paddling feels violated!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
surely it would catch the reef
@@monkeman220 it’s a joke
Laird has been doing this for the last 10 years or even longer, but this clip was pretty rad.

Wow, I would love to try that.
Paddling into waves looks so easy with a foil! I thought the initial extra drag would be hard to overcome!
Dude - you must have rode that thing for a couple miles - awesome
Nice!

Your comment gave me a lot of inspiration. Dolphins and Sharks has diferent way of generate lift and thrust.

@@brinjoness3386 Flow is better than fight...
"Surfing" 🏄 💯 Dream 😍
So cool
I love it when people are just able to 'enjoy the ride' instead of ripping the wave to shreds
Tyler Diaz if your just gonna "enjoy the ride" go get a hover board
haha Tyler Diaz is probably one of those liberal bitch boys.
Wave Hogging

dude that's soo rad! #shredthegnar
Unbelievable
awesome

Adorava de ter uma prancha assim
I'm so confused, can we get an explanation video of how it works?
Same principle like wings on a plane, just for water and not for air
its a wing under water tjat creates lift just like an aeroplan wing and it lifts up The board
reverse Henri Coanda effect ;)
Bruddah Kai, you had 666 subs. I had to fix dat fo ya. I'm happy to volunteer and be # 667. Keep shreddin.
Now he has 77 thousand

This is the Future!!!!
Boss. What a fucking win.
Wow, holy shit!! Where can you buy this board? Come one, you cant make a video like this and not add links to buying this! Lets go!!
What looks like fun is you don't need waves, just a swell. Great alternative when the surf is small and not worth surfing.
So sick! Can you buy it as a customer?
Heard this kid tried to foil at trestles and got chased in cause he hit someone! :O
Quick question how do you not get decapitated when you fall off the board
very few people will realize the INMENSE skill on just PADDLING on a hidro foil..
Shut up and take my money.
haha seriously. Genuinely this comment made me laugh
I'm guessing that hitting the beach is pretty rad (AOT)
..arse over tit for the unknowing..
If anyone knows how this works or where I can buy one please tell me RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! I need it so bad!!!!!!
I bet the 2 who unliked this video are not even humans or they are football players
I love it and I'm a football player
same
actually they are the surfers who were behind him at the wave and the SUP guy in the end
SurFilip Oni still 40 aliens exist in our earth .
At O.04 real or fake
cimachh was here 07.11.2016
anyone know were i can get a set up like this? im on Oahu
I've never seen anyone paddle into a wave on a foil board..... is it hard? did he paddle into that tiny wave he's surfing???
I don't get it but it is awesome!
This would be great for big waves, it would make it easier to deal with chop
Do they sell these!?!? I need to move to the ocean now - I wish I was young still!
Never too old mate
Where do I get one?
Kai
nice
where can i buy it? thankss
The future is now
Name of the song?
The Day - Moby
It's in the video, you mongol.
i freakin love this next-level shit like this human invented in the last years!
Makes me excited about the future and the evolution of humanity.
can anyone ballpark the price of a hydrofoil surfboard.. ?
just curious?
3000 dollars approx.
so summer in europe could finally make sense...
Music?
Qual é a sensação?
what's the learning curve for a beginner who has not surfed before. you make it look so fun
It's extremely hard to do with experience
fUCK MAN ,that's wAY rAD ,Buddy of mine at kite beach today told me to check this vid out ! IM glad I did ,Keep Shredding Kai!
how is it possible
I need to know how this it works
the same way an aerofoil creates lift in air.
the board is cool but it kind of takes away the sense of achievement when you actually catch a wave. i'm not saying it's bad but in my opinion it's just not the same as actuall surfing
Probably that thing is even more difficult to master than a modern standard surfboard.
No, this is true surfing, the way it was meant to be done.
Go to 1:16 mins to see the flapping!!
I have a inflatable SUP no problem getting a foil on this
Dudes already getting seriously injured and cut on the hydrofoil. Dam kooks better not bring them into the line up.
Don't worry i'm sure Costco will have a version for all people to try soon. UGH.
This shits insane.
SUper dangerous riding his stuff with surfers around man, find the post about the Japanese surfer which head butted the underwater wing...
Ok man
охуительно круто!!!!!!!
The kameramen
F*ck yeaahhh
is this fake??
8 years later, no it's real.
i love this thing as long as you dont call it surfing
SO EXPENSIVE>>> YEAH FUCK THAT
next stop foiling teahupoo
Better than Laird
Surfing ground swells 1 foot tall
Just give me a table
Cool but old tech. Chris White did this on a bodyboard over 10 years ago
look it up, theres a vid on youtube of it
Snake everybody
Marty Mcfly
What the hell i just watched.
Whilst it looks fun.... With a couple of hydrofoils in the surf today it felt dangerous and they hogged all the good set waves... So fuck em
in 50 years all surfers will have giant legs but chicken arms.
It's not very ascetic. Look it up.
来中国浪……
Not worth 1600 dollars. If it was 100 bucks id STILL think about it.. not paying that much for something that looks extremely hazardous/dangerous
Hover surfing bra
Wot
if you have one of these please stay away from me when surfing
something a kook would ride
wtf is this
