Not sure how to post a link! maybe someone else can....or already has..But if you have the WSL app there is a video atm on the home page of Kai Lenny showing what is possible on a foil. he paddles into the first wave, then doesn't stop. Just bunny hops back out the back straight into the next wave. pretty amazing, no kite needed. Wonder if a thruster foil would work for beginners.
I don't think this is the video you mean but pretty much the same thing, I can't see the direct link for the other one.
The other one is in this link.
