I want to try one of these. Video is pretty wild http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/13526-the-sup-foil-board-for-small-waves
When they use phrases like, "excels in knee to head high waves" and "accelerate and perform," it makes me wonder if they've ever surfed. Plus... I wouldn't be able to ride waves constantly hunched over like that... But, go for it, Z!
yeah, it looks like it performs well in mushy surf. Anything with a wall or lip is probably not advised.
I'm just wondering, can I take these things out in the middle of the sound and ride open water lumps?
That looks like a fun rippable wave being ridden on a surfcraft that makes it about as hard as possible to actually surf the wave the way i would want to surf it.
waves like Jaws are actually when those hydrofoils make the most sense to me....lifting you above the choppiness on the wave face when those big divots and ruffles can buck you off your board in front of a mountain of consequence. And you're not really doing rail to rail surfing then anyway.
Wow someone found out how to make Sups more Gay, wearing a helmet ta boot. Where's his knee pads, elbow pads and wristguards? What's next, a sit down paddle board with a dildo attachment?
Ribbed for *my* pleasure when I turn it inside out. When I saw that thing, the first thing I thought was that right now somewhere, Lard Hamilton is nutting all over himself. To it's their own
HA HA, I wouldn't buy one, but if I was at the beach one day and someone had one and was going to let me try it, I def would.
