This is a one minute clip of a 2.5 min wave on a foil on open ocean. (it was cut to fit instagram) , not Sup but just showing what is possible. The foil is not a fad. I'm not sponsored by anyone this is just some tools in my shed.

i think this + downwinding will be the future of foiling

i think this would be bulk fun, dont really see most of the surfing videos so far as being fun

Of course, a lot of people said a few years ago that this new fad called SUPing didn't look fun on the videos...

This is where I see benefits in foiling...not so much at surf breaks...

North of the Seaway you need right swell direction and tide and these lumps just pop up , we have also got some runs on the 12 fathom reef line.

Originally we were just towing to test the foils , with full intention to paddle in only , but the tow in just opens up a whole new world.

I dont know about that, their are uncrowded waves everywhere suitable for foiling, I just come back from a session only a few hundred meters from one of he most crowded spots in The Alley, caught some great fun waves on the foil and didn't need to bother anyone , everytime a few surfers got close I just moved out wider. Foiling is nuts, getting back in through a shorebreak is a bit sketchy though ??
