It doesn't look easy for sure so great job there! Were you flying with Googles or just the controller?
Was also referring to the surf btw, I've done a little bit of normal surfing in the past and this looks awesome too
Yes, from what my friends, who are experienced surfers tell me, it's a bit of a learning curve.
You catch the wave in a different manner, you don't need a paddle but some use them.
However, young guys as well as older guys/girls are foiling these days.
It's gaining in popularity. Some have told me they'll not go back to regular surfing!
I also know there's a bit of controversy in that regular surfer are a bit wary and cautious around foilers...for obvious reasons and some are a bit hostile too towards the sport.
The cool thing about it is in certain condition for example, where surfers struggle to catch waves, foiling is actually easier. I find it all very interesting!
I'm going to post a revised video one of these days.
Good luck in your flying and surfing exploits!PS: flying with the crystalsky...not the goggles.
