Perfect Pumping Hydrofoil Board for Lake Foil Surfing?

You probably have a little extra air resistance with the larger board too which adds to wasted energy. But extended mass is likely the dominant cause of the wasted energy.

Have you tried the 80 cm Naish microchip?

It's probably fun, but it looks so dumb. ...boing, boing, boing. hahaha

Where is your pfd

As a poor college student, I don't think I'll be able to afford even the cheap ones for a while 😅

Nice experiment, thanks for the info. Looksl ike a fun sport, have you thougt of getting a windsurf wing to use the wind force?

Been dock starting on my oes Australia prone boards, which are thicker than these..... Both are 42l, and I wing in them too. The second one is lighter, thicker but 3" narrower. The difference in pumping into the wind is off the scale, tho I'm not sure if its the width reduction or the 400g weight saving, I'm suspecting both.... 1150 foil.

Wait this R 1000.00
Hmm I thought they were REDICULOUSLY expensive at 12500 now I'm not sure y I thought that

For a mere $12,500.00 everyone can enjoy this practical everyman's enjoyable fun. So take out a mortgage & come have fun

Hey cool video! Do you need to pump if a river has enough flow?

Wait, what's wrong with using a skateboard deck? I was gonna try it

Should've said "its nuclear powered"

I am an amateur. Do any of these pumping foils glide if you stop pumping or slow your pumping motions

Memahami alat selancar air ini bekerja sangat penting,siapa tau saya juga bisa bikin alat selancar ini suatu hari di tempat kami,dan menguasai nya, semoga.

Love that you shred all seasons, Rain or shine! Or Snow 🤘🏼

Are these so expensive because they don’t sell many?

I'm always surprised by the speed you can reach by pumping!
Basic efoils need a 3kW motor. Our legs cannot provide more than 500W for a short time...
Is accelerating suddendly a foil (what we do by pumping...) more efficient to provide lift and speed, than a motor (and blades) which maintains a constant speed of the foil?

Describe pumping using a credit card and some sand on a flat surface. Angle the card as you push it through the sand and it moves. The sand represents the water and the card represents the wing. That's how I finally understood lift and how angling a snow plow pushes the snow to a specific side

where i find these products lonched India please

This is going to be my new sport. I am so tired of crowded surf lineups.

... pumping it like an animal. lol

You should try liquid force nebula

done by me

I don't pump but kitefoil. I have to say though I enjoy your videos. I appreciate the detail, thoroughness and effort and the narration is top shelf. Please keep it up.

"When I pump with my legs, the foil underneath the board performs a dolphin kick" (Not entirely sure this is correct, but sounds pretty good)

Pumping like a dolphin?

Fastest way to describe the movement is “much like a dolphin moving its body to push me forwards “ or you can loop around them again and give them the “there’s a little airplane down there that helps me fly”

So how many pounds is your favorite board and foil added up.

is it possible to get a full foiling setup for under 1000 dollars

Im beginer 70kg, which size of wing foil fit me. Thank you so much.

Thank you for posting. A great report with little wasted time.

Thank you for the review... No wonder it is so hard to pump my 112 liter Reedin board!!.. lol... As a wing foiler, it is NOT as important, but still it matters... I will not even try until I am at the level of wing foiling with about 20 liter range board... 🙄☺️

Can you launch these things without assistance or do you need something to tow you to get going?

Have you given any thought to using some kind of handlebars on your boards? If you had one handlebar on the front and one on the back, it seems like this would allow you to pump harder. The bar stem could either be rigid (like a steel tube) or soft (like a rope or cable).
(I say this as a former skateboarder who experimented with all different kinds of set ups back in the 1970s, including screwing a T-shaped handlebar onto the front of our boards, making them behave somewhat like the two wheel Razor-type scooters that came out about 10 years ago. Doing this certainly made jumping on and off curbs easier. It also made it more difficult to fall off the board.) I hope you'll consider giving this a try.

“Pumping it like an animal” 😂 perfect response!!

It moves sort of like the tail of a dolphin.

That's mean it's batter for begginers too👍🏼📢❤️

I’m trying to purchase a full setup from axis using all your suggestions. I’m struggling to find a board thats close to your 10 liter advice on there website. I’m 160 lbs and looking to do all the activities you discuss. So my cart consists of wake thief addition foil package, but I’m not sure if 24 liter board “the smallest I see”will work fine. Do you have any thoughts on my conundrum? Your videos made this sport something I can visually grasp and the confidence to pull the trigger and make a purchase. Thanks.

Pumping it like an animal 😂

do you thing you could get the slingshot (your favorite board) up and flying with a wing?

Planning on hydrofoiling a racing kayak, any foils you would recommend

Hey I really enjoy your videos!
I plan to get the Axis 1150. I weight 58 kg and I heard under 60 kg the Axis 1010 would be better?
I want to dock start and surf little waves.
I want to use the 3'7 board from Indiana with 24 litre volume. Do you think that is a good idea ?
Thanks for the great videos :)

Like a dolphin kick!

I think this guy is doing some pioneer work, I enjoy his videos, and I'm sure we are going to see a lot of improvement in the next time ... I was wondering if a twin foil would make any difference

I would not have said, "I'm pumping it like an animal." Probably lost a couple prospective boarders there.

I'd (hopefully) have said that my up and down effort was giving it the effort.

But anyway.

I'm pumping like an animal left her speechless 😂😂😂 whoah that was funny lol

that looks tiring... i wonder how much weight you can lose with this lol

This looks like so much fun. Whats the top speed? Also, wouldn't you just need bigger/ wider wings or whatever the things under the water are called for longer distances? Lol can you tell im a noob? Wicked video tho 🍻

I consider it the water version of a ripstick
