Josh Ku has the SoCal foiling experience visiting the famous San Onofre. Los Angeles Foil Club or more famously known LAFC had a community day where all foilers united and played in the water. Was super fun seeing all the different disciplines such as prone, sup, foil assist and tow boogie all playing together. Thankyou Roy and Karen from Kaohi Leashes who made this day possible

This is another episode of a friendly challenge Sim from @voyagerfoiler5976 and myself did at the spot known as MOKES on the North Shore of Oahu. We tried to flat water out of the lagoon and send it down to the finish. It ended up turning into a playful surf run Thanks Christian for the Drone work

This Downwind run is one of the longer runs you can do on the island of Oahu. I was lucky enough this day to join up with locals Ryan, Brian and Aaron. The run reminds me alot of the Maliko run in Maui and the most special part for me was coming in at Mokes and seeing the beautiful mountains on the shoreline.

Great storytelling! Great story! Thanks for sharing the stoke.
Amazing video !!! 🎉 31km/h average speed 🔥 What app do you use to have these readings?
10/10 very nice!
@@jcrean853 Thankyou
Also impressed you were able to make this considering you got turned around at the airport, imagine if you were there, a whole aspect not covered in the film is that Jimmy was missing his Ku this last year.
@@patrickrebstock200 hahah yep that was a challenge
Stoked I could finally watch it! Thanks for bringing us along and next time bring the groms!
Well done Josh 👏. Well done to Jim also…inspirational stuff🤘
I'm in one of those weird positions where I don't see the appeal to downwinding yet. I've accepted this feeling and one day I'm sure I'll get into DW. I'm just so stuck on prone at the moment. Good footage as always, thanks Josh.
Good story ,welcome to parent hood 🤙😎
Really nice lifestyle story edit! Love it! Mahalo for sharing.
Awesome Great Footage = I've just ordered the 8'6'' x 17'' @ 120L AXIS 👍🍺🌊🏄🏼
why not just wingfoil? I get that its in the way when wave riding, but it seems you need a ton of wind to do without and then you are back to an extreme condition only sport.
@@cadthunkin I do wing but I don’t prefer doing it when downwinding , wingings fun for other types of foiling in my opinion
OMG
No kidding. Your summers are amazing for DWing. Nice work Perth. Congrats to NSW FC on a great event.
@@boardmeetingusa9405 thanks Roy
Nope I'd rather dance with my grizzlies back home.
No worth it
I hope you stay alive long enough to make more. That area is full of sharks though I never saw any seals around there…nice!
I remember this dude spearfished a stingray in the middle of summer decked out in a frogman suit drags it up on the beach puts his on it to keep it still the tail came up and straight through his leg it was piss funny 😂
Sick 🤙🤙
Not a really good idea even if you have a spear, what happens if you ain't go no time to lose and big Shark is going you are lunch. Very risky to be honest.
sitting in a boat with a beer is more my style these days
Hats off to ya Kuey! Don’t think anyone else was vlogging and racing that hard… I sure was gasping for air the whole time 😂
@@jordanscales7582 hahah cheers
fusaki is the best cpt in california
what Front wing were you racing on mate ?

Great race Josh!
“Pretty sure I’m coming first right now” 😂😂 What an epic edit of racing and doing it on the West Coast!
@@kotwot89 hell yeh
Great footage from start to finish! Thanks for sharing 🤙
What is an approximate elapsed time for a race like this?
@@myroccbox8877 it was 12 km and I was roughly doing 2 min a km
So good to come along for the ride with you. Cheers
Great vid Josh. Taking us right into a race. Could see from flags at end that wind was pumping!!!
Wow Josh that has to be the best footage I've ever watched of a Sup DW race. Prop's to all the dry hair competitors and awesome effort to film and still do so well. Thanks mate. I learned a ton from that.
@@Piros181 cheers Piros ! Was one of my best races and I was filming haha , shows that maybe if I’m not focusing so hard I go better
Sick edit, race, and connies! What a week 🤙🤙
🎉🎉🎉
Its amazing how little fear/respect you have for sharks lol.
This one was fun. I'm guessing the cool kids don't buckle on their vaikobi? :P
@@Hdip no their was a lot to think about and I forgot to
🤙
Which one would you go for 83kgs? I've been testing an 8foot by 18' wide sunover and I just can't get enough power to get up. Is the extra 2' wider enough width? Im a good sup surf paddler but shit on down wind foil boards!
@@leylandroberts4820 8’6 should be fine , but if your worried you won’t be able to balance go the bigger one
Awesome riding rad filming 🤘🏽
These things take surfing to another level. Amazing.
🎯🔝
Awesome edit bro and got me even more frothing to test one out! Appreciate the safety rundown too, I can see how people would easily get too confident and get out of their depth!
When we look back on the growth of Down Wind foil we will look at Jimmy and his passion to grow the sport. We will look at Dave and his want to build a community and we will look at kuey and his want to take his shirt off when he is in shot :)
Wouldn’t it be quicker to catch a lift on the JetSki? :)
Nice vid brother and in my home town no less. Lovin the tunes in this one too!
Foil beta would be interesting, what are they riding?
cool video 🤙
We all know that Mr Casey is the man but Hugh is ripping! Sick vid
