Wing Foil Surf Heaven in Hawaii 

500 years ago yes. But 3000-5000 years ago there were flying vimanas.

Europeans like to rediscover things put their name on it then celebrate that they were the first

@@lapp3351 Because the Europeans kicked ass and WERE better

@@1andtheOnly No there wasn’t lol. It’s mythological like Muhammad and a flying horse

@@zonzillamagnus5902 which Europeans you talking about? The Italians who kicked the Jungle dwelling Nordic ones(probably current day Brits )? Or the Germans who kicked the all the rest of Europe? Or the Turks and other Europeans who kissed the Mongols’ feet to stop them getting their ass kicked? Or the Spanish idiots who “discovered” a continent that was already inhabited by humans who had already gone through what we are going through now: the rise of an immensely advanced civilisation millennia ago, gone through natural disasters as a result then wisely decided to abandon “technological progress” and live with nature only to have arrogant buffoons, way much later in the game, show up to their door step claiming they were advanced and the denizens devolved 🤪 Even today you see Europeans in America generate a large following on RU-vid or other Social Media Platforms acting as if they discovered Kung Fu or Yoga or Breath Control or Calisthenics or Ayuhasca not one having the slightest courtesy of giving credit to the actual cultures that discovered and developed the knowledge or at least invite an expert from this native cultures as a guest and give them the deserving respect

Haha, great to hear and definitely recommend as there's some similarities to windsurfing in terms of handling the wing. It's still a bit of a process to learn if you don't have the foil experience, but I'm sure you'll be addicted like everyone else if you spend the time getting into it! Opens up a whole new world of fun in average waves and bumps

Thankyou and stoked you liked it! It was shot by my girlfriend and edited it myself. Its a truly awesome sport and such a great way to escape the crowd and ride small waves like this!

Thankyou and stoked you like it! Always loved trying to minimize the pumping as much as possible and just let it flow

Thanks mate, appreciate the positive comments. Although its still a bit of a learning process, with the sailing and windsurfing background I'm sure you can figure it out. Biggest thing that would help would be learning to foil behind a small boat or jetski or an efoil, then bringing in the wing. Such an amazing feeling riding waves and swells like this once you figure it out

@@KeahideAboitiz1Can you describe how much energy/force you get from the swells? Very cool.

Thankyou! This is where all the fun comes from for me in wing foiling too. Something special about whipping yourself into waves, then just enjoying the glide and flow!

Thanks and stoked you like it. Very grateful for those with the vision to create foils and the new addition of the wings!

Thanks mate. Definitely the best wind direction to ride in where the wing wants floats a little easier while flying off the front handle. Amazing how much fun you can have in these conditions!

Definitely a fun mix of a few different sports but for me the closest thing to compare it too is tow foiling without needing a jetski. Tow yourself into waves, kill the power and just surf. Such a fun way to ride waves!

Thanks and stoked you like it. Gotta love how much you can flow with the higher aspect H series shapes!

@@KeahideAboitiz1 I would love to know exactly what gear you are using foil wise

@@retrophonicbotique Using the Cabrinha H800 with the 80cm mast and Autopilot 4'6. They have some new board shapes coming out very soon too

Awesome to hear! Definitely a little bit of a learning curve but so worth it and such a fun way to ride waves once you figure it out!

Thanks and stoked you like it. Such a fun way to ride waves!

Definitely a bit of a learning curve but very doable if you break it down into different steps. So much fun once you put it all together and get into riding some waves!

Thankyou. Such a fun way to ride waves!

Thankyou 🤙🏼

Kite slash wing and excellent design, excellent control

Such a fun setup for wing foiling and hard to beat those colors!

Thankyou! Such a fun way to ride waves

Thankyou. Had a lot of fun these sessions shooting for this one

Agreed!! 👌🤩 I want to do this so badly now.

Definitely takes some micro-adjustments but having a wing that flies well off the front handle helps a lot. Having a stiff handle like the one on the Mantis makes a big difference for me

@@KeahideAboitiz1 Yes, but (dumb newbie question) how do you keep it more or less behind you all the time regardless of your heading ? Seems that you must be foiling a lot faster that the true wind so that your apparent wind is always more or less coming from in front of you..... ?

@@kshred3043 The main thing that helps is the wind direction as this particular spot is side offshore wind so you are always going slightly into the wind whenever on a wave. In my opinion this is the best direction for wing foiling as it keeps the waves smoother and the wing naturally wants to sit on the best angle. You're also right that I start generating apparent wind especially as the wind can be super up and down here so in the light patches I can ride with it behind me. The Mantis is also a great wing for this as its quite stable on a wave and the stiff front handle also heps a lot with the micro adjustments to keep it flying on the right angle

@@KeahideAboitiz1 That makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to reply. 🤘

Thankyou and always stoked to hear it! Always a good way for me to switch off and forget about the troubles of life on a session like this!

Thanks and stoked you like it. Really is such a fun way to ride waves!

Thankyou. It takes a little bit of practice but has become my summertime activity of choice. So much fun in waves like this!

Doesn't get much better. Closest thing to tow in foiling out there 🙌🏼

Stoked you like it! Such a fun sport once you figure it out. Endless laps and a super fun way to ride waves

Also makes for such little drag or resistance while you're up which means riding a wave thats not breaking

Thanks and stoked you like it. Such a fun way to ride waves!

Thanks! My girlfriend Moona kills it on the water and on the drone!

By far the best way to make the most of waves like this with a little bit of wind!

That would be fun, but its more likely the racing side of winging might become something in the future. Kite foil racing will be a part of the next olypmics

Haha, surprisingly have never hit a fish but definitely had some close calls with turtles

Thankyou. Stoked you liked it!

@@KeahideAboitiz1 I just wish I could do it👍

@@sadeaton Definitely a learning curve, but its something most people can figure out with enough time if you break it down into steps. Cool to see how many people have figured it out over the last few years

Thanks! Always nice to hear it

Takes some time to learn, but such a fun way to ride waves that you'd never have as much fun on surfing!

Thankyou. Doing this is incredibly pleasing too!

Glassy waves are the best, but the wing opens up a whole new playing field which is awesome

Cheers, a little less extreme, but man its a lot of fun!

Hahaha. Stoked you liked it. Its always funny to think about how fun these types of waves are now winging. Find myself getting excited for some very small and fat waves these days 🤣

@@KeahideAboitiz1 i feel ya. My planks my best mate nowadays. You've made me reconsider that too. What a conundrum! 🤣🍻

Never too late to learn. Sure its a little bit of a process, but if you break it down in to steps by learning to foil first, then adding the wing, its more doable than you think

Such a fun way to ride waves!

Wing foil heaven!

Thankyou. Stoked on all the positive feedback on this video

Thanks mate, this spot is definitely a little tricky for wind as its quite up and down, but the gusts are pretty strong so as long as I time those, I can stay up through the lulls. I like to stand on my board underwater and then pump the wing and board until I get up. Works fine as long as you're powered enough. I'll see if I can post a clip on my instagram sometime soon.

How windy is this?

@@GabrielRamos-xo4ck about 8-15 knots. Once you get up in the gusts its pretty easy to ride through the lulls with a high aspect wing

Nice! Definitely worth getting into it and as long as you already have the foil background from riding behind the boat you should be able to put them together. Its a little bit of a learning curve, but super worth it once you figure it out!

@@KeahideAboitiz1 175 pounds. I know how to foil a wave behind a boat. What size board (volume) and wing to learn to kite foil do you recommend?

@@rickdc3 For wing foiling, its nice to have a board over 100L in the beginning to make it easier to get up. Also a bigger slower foil wing around 1600 sq cm or bigger will help too. Kite foiling is a different ball game and you want to be fairly comfortable already with kitesurfing before you bring in the foil

Haha right. Crazy how far the sport has come in such a short time frame!

Right KA? It's an insane trajectory from single fins to this. My best mate and i had t pleasure of watching Cheyne Horan, out at Littles on t nsw coast(aust.), test t 1st wing keel tail fin on a McCoy board about 38 yrs ago now. Just t 3 of us. Its real a secluded break. Had to bushwack just to get there. They took t design from t winged keel aussie boat that won t America's cup in sailing. T smile on Cheynes face said it all. But it never took off. Plus, we were all surfing Nirvana boards made by Bill Cilea. Now where here. Isn't life a bloody trip. What's frikkin next?? 🍻✌️

Thankyou!

Thanks!

Nice to be young, but still plenty of older crew getting super into it. Its a little tricky to learn, but once you figure it out, its not too hard on the body

@@KeahideAboitiz1 Age and the fact that I live in Phoenix!😂

The wind isn't great, but the waves are super fun. Always nice how shitty wind you can ride a wing in

Thanks Joffrey

And the drone footage is reeeeaallly good.

Thanks and stoked you like it! Really is such a fun way to ride waves like this

Haha, such a fun way to ride average waves like this. Amazing how addictive this sport can be

Thankyou!

Such a fun way to ride waves!

For sure. Incredibly grateful to be able to do what I do!

Way too much fun!

Super fun for wing foiling at this size!

Such a dreamy setup for winging!

Stoked you like it! Such an awesome feeling to be able to ride waves like this with so much speed and drive thanks to the foil 🙌🏼

Definitely better 😆

Definitely a little bit of learning curve but it gets easier and such a fun way to ride waves once you figure it out!

Thankyou 🤙

Thanks mate. Pretty epic to see how far the sport has come in such a short time and fun to be a part of it!

Such a fun way to ride waves!

Moona definitely has some drone skills!

Thanks Tony 🙏🏼

Thankyou 🤙

Feels like it sometimes out there!

Thanks. Been interesting to see how many people have taken up the sport over the last 5 years. The wing is a great way to open up more spots and make the most of the windy days too

@@KeahideAboitiz1 Yea it looks absolutely smooth, you are a much better surfer than I can ever hope to be! I gotta hear my buddy if he have tried it with wing, but I don't think so Stay awesome

@@steffenbryde7957 Thanks. Definitely a great way to make the most of the windy days over there!

Thats pretty impressive if true!
