2018 was a good year. Amazing innovation and evolution. Loved the opening prayer part too. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thanks for the comment, yes the M2M is an awesome race and the foils are revolutionizing the possibilities of downwind racing. Glad you like the videos.

[@davidvelazquez5460]

Definitely on my bucket list. Fantastic racing.

[@1goodmann]

Best race I ever did. Amazing!!

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes! The M2M is probably the best and most consistent downwind course of any race in the world 🤙🏼

[@boston7704]

Interesting how well the foils handle rough conditions. As a newbie to the sport, handling chop has been the most challenging skill.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes, these guys make downwind foiling look easy 😎

[@tarajordan1385]

Don't understand why they call it stand up paddle racing,due to the sizes of the boards,it should be properly labeled at stand up canoe racing.

[@blueplanetsurf]

The dugout boards lower the center of gravity so you can ride narrower boards. They look a bit like canoes but you are still standing up on them.

[@paulalferez4339]

IMUA Blue Planet Team! Skyla - videos & music 👍

[@floating-in]

Insane boys congrats your boards look insane!

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thank you Johnny!

[@markuslebt]

2:50 one guy has a hydrofoil with paddle, one without paddle. so does the guy w/o paddle only use his feet for pushing ? are both foils very different in build ? the paddlefoil seems a bit bigger.

[@blueplanetsurf]

The guy without the paddle is Ryan Funk. He launched from the boat with a small prone board without a paddle. His run technically does not qualify as an unassisted SUP foil downwind run but it looked like he had a lot of fun.

[@JUCKERHAWAII]

Cool video guys!

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thanks buddy, I really enjoyed your M2O report video, good work!

[@Nadyamantra]

Awesome tune!!🤘🏻

[@kalikokahoonei4781]

whats the extra lip on the sunk in deck BP board ??

[@blueplanetsurf]

That’s to deflect water coming over the nose to keep it out of the dugout cockpit.

[@Murr808]

nice edit conditions looked good

[@Households1234]

The Vog looked intense!

[@timob4870]

What were the winning boards and racers?

[@blueplanetsurf]

These are the results: pseresults.com/events/1022/results Connor was on a Custom unlimited, James Casey and Marcus Tardrew on custom Sunova Unlimited dugouts, Ty Judson and Nathan Cross on custom 18' x 24" Blue Planet dugouts, not sure about everyone else.

[@lalasofy]

I’m 10 and at race i do 25-35km/h OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

[@blueplanetsurf]

👍💪🔥

[@Kretinou]

Amazing video!

[@steveeb9567]

Music ?

[@heiariiburori137]

Good🤙

[@joshuafullington6128]

how do the foilers do compared to the regular SUP boards?

[@blueplanetsurf]

Kai Lenny finished the race in 2:17 on a foil while Connor won on an unlimited board in 3:19, so the foils are significantly faster. These are the finish times: pseresults.com/events/1022/results

[@mheermance]

Wow, I've seen hydrofoil sailboats like the Moth, but I didn't know there were paddle hydrofoils.

[@kustomweb]

Looks like xcountry skiing, not a compliment. The foiling looks like more fun

[@pabloessgalhardo5317]

With a 3-4 meter double paddle would be much better.

[@ofeliaramos5664]

lol the guy ln hgdea foil
