Looks like fun. All the "real soul surfers" (whatever the fuck that means) are all butthurt because they have to paddle out in the time it takes this guy to catch 2 more waves. Waaaaa

Vee Diamond - 6 years ago

Real soul surfers surf for the love of the ocean and riding waves without a care what it's on. All these tools complaining aren't soul surfers let alone surfers. Just whiners that complain about shit and just have to paddle out on occasion.

The pumping looks super stupid , those old fashioned ones are so limited ..the motorized ones are cooler

MeesterVegas - 6 years ago

This would be great for Texas waves.

Lame! Less is more!

Ross Ennis - 6 years ago

The pumping up and down looks stupid. Like embarrassingly dumb. Good luck boys.

Michael Kirst - 6 years ago

How about you do you and let others do them? Or is that too much to ask of your enormous embarrassingly dumb ego?

These things are a real injury hazard to everyone. Solid aluminum blade that is traveling real fast and deep. If you get run over - your fuqed

"I hope these boards don't get around, the damage they can do in the water to other people is ridiculous. Stick to normal boards everyone, " Share and like this comment so that people can see

lolWT nick - 6 years ago

boards and people scare the wildlife and damage the ocean's natural waves. stick to standing on the beach.

grakkerful - 6 years ago

The dangers surfboards have to swimmers in the water is ridiculous. Stick to swim fins everyone.

Oscar Hollywood - 6 years ago

no, dont think i will

Adam Fletcher - 6 years ago

no.

Here ya go, Laird Hamilton, Foil, and Teahupoo.

BLACK05GO1 - 6 years ago

The only good thing I see about the foil board is a good leg work out. I've never seen the pumping over flat water to get back out. But a regular surfboard is just so much better for everything else.

Leonardo Vici - 6 years ago

you're*

melon scope - 6 years ago

except on a foil your FLYING

Michael Crumpton - 6 years ago

Except you can foil a wave that a regular board can't.

Trixter808 - 6 years ago

lol must suck when you hit the reef though

Michael Kirst - 6 years ago

Reef in California? Yeah that would not only suck but be really surprising since it's mostly deep sand bottom in Cali.

Could you surf mavs when it's not breaking?

Cruz Magee - 7 years ago

Why are you at old man's lol that's a slow wave church or lowers and uppers was a little drive down is a way better wave

Trixter808 - 7 years ago

foot strap's would help to flip and for the big air's

Floyd Rudolph - 7 years ago

So the paddle into the swell is obviously assisted by the foil. Looks difficult.

Bon Summers - 7 years ago

Unreal,… what is this, what are we seeing? I remember Laird using these years ago, but, I didn't really think much of it. I'm wondering about shorter height hydro foils….?

WiliS S - 7 years ago

I love the paddle back out !!

Crap soon all the good sea kayak breaks will be crowded.

capowacko - 7 years ago

Yeah well how do you catch a wave on that little skimboard? I can't see being able to paddle into a wave on it.

Final - Restarting - 7 years ago

I think it defeats the purpose of surfing.

Michael Kirst - 6 years ago

What's the "purpose" of surfing Big Kahuna? And why would you assume you're "purpose" should be that of everyone else?

Christian Kidzspeed - 6 years ago

googles definition is this: the sport or pastime of riding a wave toward the shore while standing or lying on a surfboard.
it qualifies.

Scott - 7 years ago

well, it doesn't qualify really based on the definition of surfing. You aren't on the surface of the water--thus NOT surfing. Looks kooky and soulless to me. 0 feels on foils

Hal Heywood - 7 years ago

give me the chance I'll do it . right on bro . .way cool . . like a try that thing at The Rockpile in North Laguna or maybe even the big Corona Jetty when it's all giant that would be a trip. . old dogs can learn new tricks

genki007 - 7 years ago

Kai,

1st thank you for the great vid!

Didn't see you take off on any waves only riding. I am 5'8", 195lbs and like you I prefer to ride small boards but looking at how small your foil board is how difficult is it to get into the wave?

What kind of foil is that???? Doesn't look like to Gofoil.

Zander Rabbit - 7 years ago
