Hydrofoil Surf Heaven in Hawaii

One epic session tow in foiling in Hawaii in perfect glassy conditions. There's something special about the glide you can get out of an unbroken swell with a hydrofoil that is such a unique feeling.
Epic driving and filming skills by Reo Stevens. New gopro hero 8 stabilization is pretty next level!

Tow rope at 1:12 brings it back to reality. These are next to impossible to get up and riding on your own.

[@KeahideAboitiz1]

They're not impossible at all. As long as the wave is steep enough, you just catch it like you would surfing. It is a little more technical with the balance but completely achievable and something we all do more than towing. Towing is just great as it can get you into an unbroken wave and ride it for much longer 🙌🏼

[@chrisb9377]

No, you can get on it using a wave like you would on a regular surf board

[@bondi5000]

The new models from Lift eFoils have a battery powered prop which can retract when you get yourself onto a wave so you can ride just the wave without any assistance. Does away with the need for towing. Want.

The challenge is finding a place devoid of swimmers, divers, snorkelers, and potentially underwater wildlife and reefs. I can’t imagine getting hit by the hydrofoil at speed results in a good outcome.

[@KeahideAboitiz1]

Definitely worth talking about and I don't agree with people trying to ride these in crowded lineups. The beauty of foiling is you can ride a small mushy waves and wind swell that no one would want to surf anyway

[@amaturearcadia]

What is this Witchcraft

[@marcelinosilva4473]

😂💀

[@KeahideAboitiz1]

😂 Basically it follows the same principles as airplane wings creating lift. Being underwater with more drag, you can get away with a relatively small wing and as long as you have that angled swell keeping you moving forward. You have to balance the foil by shifting your weight over the board but truly is an amazing feeling once you work it out!
