WING FOIL SPEED CHALLENGE // 20@20 Episode 13

I always wondered how fast I could go on a Wingfoil board, my goal was to go and find out. The wind was wild, gusty offshore conditions blowing from 5 to 35 knots. With the foil I was able glide through the dead zones no problem, and on the gusts project forward as fast as I could.

Cool Kai. Your freedom on the water is our freedom with in. Some of us have retired from the water due to illness, accident or the slow decay of time. You my friend, restore the visuals we have in our soul, the joy and the laughter. Thank you so much Kai.

Another great video, living vicariously through you during these tough times

[@LiftFoils]

Amazing! Pushing it to the limit.

[@boltuprightmaui]

Super fun!! Love to see some more max speed attempts!!

[@ynech]

Great video. Great surfing. I wish I could do that.

[@EcDraven]

Wow!! Loving this new sport!!

[@hobbyfoot110]

The gopro footage nailed it! 🤙

[@TheHoaxHotel]

Cool angle on that wing gopro, especially on that nosedive

[@jrudmanjr]

Nice shot of Ridge with the west maui mountains as the backdrop!

[@Twizz1979]

Nice. Always great videos. It's amazing how quickly things have changed in this sport. I hit 29 today on a 925sq cm high aspect foil and 6m wing in 20mph of wind. Time for a hear upgrade and round 2!

[@bluejuice57]

That was great, I was wondering how fast it is currently possible wing surfing? A sport in itself. 👍

[@CarkeekW]

It will be great when foiling wings are constructed as well as windsurfer wings . The thinner leading edge clearly has a speed advantage but is it the best for general wing foiling and transport and setup.

[@jip2971]

Is the rigid wing you use an old model of the 90's kitewing? or a recent model, which brand?

[@cameronwilliams3042]

Love it dude!

[@tiberiugabriel1]

I love that rigid wing

[@patrickrebstock200]

interesting to see what the actual speed is, winging seems so slow compared to kiting on a small foil after going back to back but haven't tried the smaller foil with the wing, might have to try the 90

[@cwright1971]

Nice to see the Wind Weapon make a comeback!

[@jonthesailorman]

Would be cool to see where the different foils you're using line up next to each other for speed and stability 🤙

[@btango6929]

Time to do foil winging speed trial at Luderitz, Namibia? Wondering if the channel depth is adequate though...

[@IRWE905]

What size was the KiteWing?

[@quimt.6440]

Sabéis si esto es una moda, o ha venido para quedarse 😮

[@seanokane2627]

His intro is so 🔥

[@marcusbannon3036]

You are amazing!

[@stingerboardsfoilswings739]

awesome

[@rickstrini]

Kai its called speed beach from the days of windsurfing and the speed challenge.

[@hamsandwich1860]

Lenny, do you reckon you could go faster winging on a surfboard?

[@Proxycatcat]

is that thing soo goood? should i buy it? :D

[@jayrandall9668]

Freaking gnarly

[@jimicliff976]

c'est quoi cette wing du futur ? tubeless !! un prototype ?

[@grantchang81976]

wing foil looks sooo fun but i know it is crazy death wish

[@marshallkohlhaas80]

Dude i bet you surf allot better now that your hair is long! Looks good man!

[@johnny1897]

Technology changed just a bit since wooden water skis !

[@lomicwind]

You have to try on a good speed spot with a speed foil I am sure you can go much faster with a steady and strong wing and no chop.

[@cosmowerkstapes]

over 30 mph. nice speed!

[@worldspeedtour1365]

[@Skeetr86]

Show the explosions! Exictment!

[@robertcain3426]

Foiling is not about speed. It's about efficiency.

[@NicoGhar]

Then what's the top speed

[@HADDEN67]

Had a best speed of 29.8 mph ok my Wasp 4m and GL 100 foil. Dead flat water.

[@grantchang81976]

on foil

[@CaptSherman]

REDIC!!!

[@kaigrigsby4730]

Guess what my name is kai too and I kiteboard and surf

[@danastebbins4779]

I wander if he’s ever hit a turtle or fish, they’d get chopped in half by that foil cutting through the water at that speed? Not sure if there’s a lot of turtles around Maui like there is on Oahu.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Looks like a young Robbie Naish.... Forty years ago....... Tousled blonde hair is still the look - said the old bald guy.....

[@Selvajourney]

Will travel more with more creative angle of video's @selvanad

[@taowaycamino4891]

Wingfoil will never be faster than Windsurfing.

[@peterningelgen278]

28 Knots ? It must be 82 28 I do with my Flip Flops and an umbrella. You must get more Control with the Foil, and the same with the Wing System, it should have a load leading System, maybe partially. Who concepts such Things there? 50 knots must fall soon. Minimum 45.

[@zurraspa1]

Nowadays many people are way faster using Chubangas and Levitaz

[@heivazz1]

First☺️

[@autisticguitar666]

sorry but would love to see more doing and a little less talking. Really great vid nevertheless

[@autisticguitar666]

@Stutter of the House I´m not trolling anyone

[@autisticguitar666]

@Stutter of the House Take it as you want, I meant exactly what I wrote, might have come across as too harsh tho

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Autistic Guitar: I’m with you old chap. Those cheeky fcukers with the stupid names could be designated trolls too.......
