Looks like a whole lot more fun than trying to catch a wave only to have it nearly drown you!

Was there for six years, worked at the Marriott for three, and look forward to being back again soon.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Love the differences that aren’t so obvious, but pop out when you look at them a little closer. The female: grace and style, smoothness and a flow with the ocean. Incredible to watch. The male: brutality and aggression (not in a bad way, just overtly masculine), directness of moves supplanted by sheer power. Still incredible to watch

[@JDFollowCam]

There is so many ways and styles of winging, what a fun sport 🤙🏼

[@YaGottaBeKidding]

You see that in whitewater kayaking, too. The women tend to learn and get better more quickly than the men, for the women learn to work with and finesse the river, whereas the men want to beat it into submission.

the key is the hydrofoil. it eliminates so much drag that just tiny sail is enough. amazing

Kite boarding changed my life 20 years ago and foiling took that to the next level over the last 10 years. Every day I'm looking forward to go out and foil. I would definitely recommend you try any kind of foiling, a good way to get started is on an efoil or behind a boat 😜 Aloha 🤙🏼

eFoil is your answer. Your other option-Onewheel.

I'm 60 and thinking the same thing. Coming back fro a double disc hernia I need something easier on my lower back.

[@hstrinzel]

Never too late? Well, I'm 62, and I think I'd rather stick with my old "grandfather style" regular windsurf board :)

[@JDFollowCam]

We got some wing foilers that are in their 80s, it’s much gentler on the body than windsurfing 🤙🏼

[@hstrinzel]

Hm, yes, I guess if you GET to the point of smoothly moving, that would be gentler. But for me falling in is the really stressful part. I typically windsurf super-carefully so that I fall in only approx. 1 time per hour, and on many days not at all. "Grandfather style". And I windsurf without a harness so that I always fall away from the sail. Thank you for the super-inspiring videos!

[@StefanWelker]

[@scott6049]

So I have been wondering about this for quite a while now. At the 1:15 mark a guy wipes out and he is stuck in the water with the foil and wing down. How the heck do you get back going again? I have never foiled before and this seems like a pretty difficult task. I really want to try this, it looks like the most fun ever!

[@JDFollowCam]

I highly recommend to try any kind of foiling, eFoil, tow foil, wing foil ......... You get back up the same way you got up to start your day. Crashing is a big big part of winging but it's easy to get back up as long as there is enough wind 🤙🏼

[@miguelacho1710]

Fantastique!... does that board have an engine?

[@SeeLasSee]

Beautiful camerawork for sure. It does not feel like a drone, so I image it took much practice.

[@allanasp771]

Excellent video and riders. Cudos. What is driving the foil/ board? Is it the wave or the wing in your hands or a combination of both? ( beside the occasional pumping with the legs)

[@JDFollowCam]

Thanks 🙏🏼 It's the waves that drives the foil when the wing is off to the side held with one hand 🤙🏼

[@desert-walker]

Wow, that’s pretty cool. I still worry about a big ass shark popping out taking a bite out of that thing that’s the only thing that scares me.

Comparing with moth , which one is earlier for elders?

[@brianbaarman5452]

Thanks for all the inspiration in posting such great videos. Truly the best! I started learning wing-foiling less than 3 months ago and was getting up on the foil about 200 ft in length at a time, then crashing. Now it's snowing and cold in west MI. Hopefully, I can get in a few more sessions before the water turns into ice. btw, why doesn't anyone wear life jackets there?

So if you fall out there do you have enough momentum to get up and get going again?

[@cmath6454]

What's the use of the sail? They could move on those boards the same without it

[@JDFollowCam]

When you see the wing being flagged on the riders side it means they are powered by a wave. As soon as the wave goes away the sail is needed to keep foiling and catch more waves. 🤙🏼

[@cmath6454]

@@JDFollowCam but it's a hydrofoil. It's its own powersource?....

[@JDFollowCam]

The hydrofoil by itself doesn't do anything, it needs some kind of external power to make it fly. This can be many things like a hand wing, a kite, a motor & batteries, towed behind a boat, waves and you can use your legs for pumping (most exhausting). 🤙🏼
