AXIS ART V2 999 - Wake thieving from Nyon to Coppet behind CGN boat "Lausanne"

So this is why the dolphins love riding the bow wave of my yacht , they are after a free ride :)

This is awesome! Doing like 8 km on lake in < 20 minutes without propulsion. Its awesome on many levels.

[@anarchistangler]

Sounds disparaging to me. These young blokes aren't trotting out tired old tricks from yesteryear. They are smashing it on a cool technology. Plus, we can actually see it going down. Credit where credit is due.

Be a great james bond sequence. Where the theif gets on the boat silently at night and steals the plans and gets away silently. Perfect

[@nomindisponible5420]

D'abord il va y avoir des associations de foil, puis une association faîtière qui va se mettre à donner des cours sur la sécurité, puis à édicter des certificats de qualification, puis des licences, puis elle voudra édicter des permis afin de se rendre encore plus indispensable mais pour ça il faudra négocier avec les assurances et les autorités en réglementant l'activité...

[@yvonvite_AXIS]

[@david-o6g1h]

Let me see if I understand this. This guy doesn't have a wing, so he has to rely on the wake to start moving. Once he's moving, he can do anything, go in any direction, even without any wind as long as he bounces up and down to maintain momentum? So what happens if he's wingless, windless, and wakeless, and falls in the water...does he have to swim to shore? And if there is wind, and he has a wing...from being dead in the water, does he jump to his feet, at the same time throwing the wing out to catch the breeze...is that how 'foil surfers start out? Fascinated by this sport ever since I saw Laird Hamilton doing it on a big wave.

[@codyl1432]

It's a hydrofoil the wing is underwater and has nothing to do with using wind.

[@Enonymouse_]

​@codyl1432 propulsion isn't free, a foil underneath wouldn't give them this much without falling off eventually and losing all forward motion. There is an active element we are not seeing, not talking about the wake either.

[@david-o6g1h]

@@Enonymouse_ So no one's answered my question yet...so he maintains momentum by jumping up and down and/or using a handheld wing/sail. If he falls, and there's no wind, there's no other recourse than to swim towards shore, right?

[@matthewdonnelly5005]

@@david-o6g1h you fall you swim

[@matthewdonnelly5005]

I do not believe these are e-assist foils, the riders dock started and pumped out to the wake. Foils are incredibly efficient, it is also fairly difficult requiring not only good conditioning and balance but tons of time in the water to become moderately proficient.

Lake Annecy? I lived in Veyrier-du-Lac for about 3 months in 1978! I notice that as you get closer to the white water, you lose lift in the same way hulled boats lose buoyancy.

I dig the second song but cant find it anywhere. my mates and I once had a small fibreglass boat ( 12 foot ) with a 5 HP motor on the back, went as fast as a slow walk but we used to time it for when the ferry went out of the harbor and catch its wake, I would have to lean forward of the middle seat and my mate had to lean over the bow but we could catch it and get another 14 knots of speed out of it and get out the heads very quick, always drew a Croud on the stern of the ferry as people watched in amazement how this little boat could keep up with the fast ferry, this was 32 years ago so no one had foils back then, this clip brings back so many memories ,thank you , love your work
