FOILING BIG SWELL BALLINA NSW

We lucked into a sizey swell in Ballina and I rode some of the biggest waves I've ridden on foil... Thanks for the whips ‪@harleyclifford8537‬ and ‪@Alexhayess‬ What a hoot!

This man living everyone’s dream! What was the aspect ration on this wing?

[@misterbennetts]

It’s the F-One 550 SK8. I think it’s 8.2AR

[@apricotscrub]

1:47 would it be possible to pump in the flats and then hop over the whitewater and pump back out?

[@misterbennetts]

On a small day yes, I do that all the time. But on a big day like this, it’s not possible. Whitewash is too big and there’s so much water moving around.

[@dalo3696]

I'd assume u loose boyency /lift in extreme white water? All that air..😅😢

[@roberte8273]

Very cool!

[@Fernandogonzalez-ot1gj]

Best foiling here but Mister Bennetts, please make a tutorial man!!. Just a few videos with your approach on how to foil!

[@misterbennetts]

Thanks! You’ll have to come on one of our retreats. That’s where you’ll learn all the tips and tricks! 🤙🏼

[@Fernandogonzalez-ot1gj]

@@misterbennetts boss! I got my foil setup yesterday. Tried to start in Wategos but I got too scared of the waves. Hard to get into this only by my own, when is the next retreat? You know any foil school around Byron?. I appreciate the help mate 💚

[@misterbennetts]

Nice! Yes hit up @earthkitesurfing on instagram. He’s the best in the biz when it comes to foil lessons!

[@dalo3696]

Do you think having surfing experience is needed to do this? Or,just as well having none or some skateboard/snowboard experience? Or best having none and this being. The first thing u get on to ride.

[@misterbennetts]

It’s not needed, but it’s gonna help a lot in terms of positioning when paddling for waves. If you’re just towing it’s not as necessary as you’ll just be whipped onto the wave.

One day, you will see foilers out at Mavs, Chopes, way outside riding these giants before they break.

[@misterbennetts]

Already happening!

[@dae3xt]

i feel like one strange crash and the foil will slice your limbs off. be careful . good stuff though.

[@misterbennetts]

There are never any rewards without risk 😀

[@Ventura808]

I live Kaua'i my whole life and my dream would be to go foil with with Adam Da Legend in Australia 🇦🇺, even though I get to foil with KYLE DA SENDA MALIGRO.

[@misterbennetts]

Haha sick. Hit me up anytime you’re in Byron!

[@dwichconcept254]

in south of france we said " putain, mec tu déchires !"

[@misterbennetts]

Haha thanks!

[@AnswersFromGod_com]

So, is your board attached to you via a leash in case you eat it, or is the goal just never to make a mistake? If you do have a leash, is that not dangerous in and of itself? (I have never done this; so, I am just curious.) I saw in some later portions of the video that you have a leash. Might that be dangerous if you eat on one of those big waves? (It looks like, when you ate it on the last wave, that you kicked the board away from you in hopes of not having the wave put it into you.)

[@misterbennetts]

Yeh I usually always wear a leash, last thing you want is your board washed up on the rocks. Or for it to hit someone (although there was no one out this day cause it was so big).

[@AnswersFromGod_com]

@@misterbennetts That makes sense, but I have had one of my boards break on a big wave day in Southern California, and I definitely did wanted to release myself from it, but even though I was in great shape, the force of the water was such that I could not reach down to rip off my lease strap. Also, I have talked to many big wave surfers, and many of them do not use a leash (perhaps for that reason?). Thus, I thought that it might be dangerous for you to be connected to your board if you ate it. Also, I would think that you would never want to risk having your board pushed into you by a huge wave. Anyway, Yah willing, I want to try foil surfing, one day. It looks like a lot more action than regular surfing -- kind of like kiteboarding when there is wind.

[@misterbennetts]

Yeh mate some guys like them and some guys don’t. I like them. 🤙🏼

[@damiengillard-j5p]

Miss Parkos surfing. Never see footage of him surfing anymore.

Agreed!
