Well I'm from the 1940's and it looks like magic to me. Absolutely hard to comprehend how such a small hydrofoil (located so far aft) can create so much lift with such small waves.
Dear Kai: I admire everything you are doing, I’m just an old longboard surfer, used to like to hang 10, and that’s not very hard to do compared to what you are doing. You are a bad ass dude!
Kai makes it look so easy! If he keeps up that pogo motion he'll soon have thighs like a big oak. The balance it requires to handle a foil is just nuts... and I think lavapix's comment is right on the mark!
Incredible, but obviously real !! I don't know which way I'm more impressed : the way you ride the waves, or the way you "pump" your foil to fly back offshore. Completely amazing ! Thank so much to share so nice videos !!
Very inspiring. Reminds me of when I used to paddle into and stand up surf on a body board ! At my age now (61) I'd be good for about 6 pumps. I'm looking forward to electric powered hydrofoil. Kai for president !

I'm right behind you. Crazy how much surfing has changed. After four decades of prone, stando changed my life and kept me in the water. I thought that was the big innovation of the century. Appears not -- this foiling stuff is insane. I'm not going to get there, but it's sure fun to watch the kids do stuff that looks like flippin' levitation to me.
Wow. Looks like an Armstrong Foil Great work Armie Armstrong - follow your passion and make your dreams come true, you are a talented designer /builder
Looks like it requires so much more work than standard surfing though lol, he was probably dead af by the time he got to shore. Or at least an average person probably would be lol
@@jefftroy4518 surfers hate everyone ... usually because the others are doing more fun stuff like that, or wave kitesurfing, or wave windsurfing. ..... usually while surfers sit there and pout
Hmmm...reminds me of dreams (I used to have) of me flying...Also, his action in going back to grab a wave makes me think of a sea gull...maybe not the most graceful in take off but riding the wind (wave in this case) is undeniably graceful. 'Must be an incredible work out. Good job..good video
he recently switched to electric motor and no longer humps the air. he just goes through water with zero effort, and with some pilates he can super charge the motor for extra boost, he now just flies through the air and pretends he's surfing, in fact he wears his business suit as he never touches the water and just flies in to and from work on lunch break
When hydrofoiling one has to certainly watch out! There has been an accident where a snorkler has been beheaded by some guy riding a hydrofoil But on the other hand: One should definately not swim where people are surfing! I experience it aömost eve4ytime I go out kiting in summer - some swimmers just enter our designated kite-zone and even after being talked to - refuse to leave the area where fast kiters and windsurfers speed along... I regularly show people at the beach near the kite area my kiteboards and my hydrofoil and let them touch the mast and fins which have been sharpened to razor like sharpness by years of dragging them through the sand or ground contact when tide is low ;-) Most react quite shocked and did not seem to know or ackknowledge the danger when swimming in the surfing zone. We do not kite/surf in the swimming zone so swimmers stay out of the Surf zone. Which are marked by swimming buyonts at my local spot.
Swimmers beware! Dont swim in a surf zone. Theres all sorts of bad things that can happen. Boards are pointy and fins are sharp. Dont be a dumbass. Lol
Hats off bro'. There is so little in the water, yet you control this contrivance. At first I didn't get the humping & bumping maneuver & then I saw that this would be like a dolphin using its tail flukes for propulsion.
A Look Into The Future: Nobody paddles, everyone is zipping around the lineup like Kai, longboarders lose their advantage in paddle speed to hydrofoils Lol can't wait
Adam Carr No, it’s spelling not grammar. If you had gone to school you would have discovered that lose and loose have very different meanings. It might be worth while learning to check up on the difference between spelling and grammar too.
imagine showing this video to someone from the 60s.

"Surfers hate him! Learn how to ride multiple waves with this one simple trick!"
He is undoubtedly a real surfer playing with his hydrofoil.
I want someone to make an animation of surfers trying to beat up a paddle boarder or a hydrofoil-er but they are just to fast
@Full Natty Vegan yes
Good one 😂
Dear Kai: I admire everything you are doing, I’m just an old longboard surfer, used to like to hang 10, and that’s not very hard to do compared to what you are doing. You are a bad ass dude!

More like throwing out your back
Your adrenaline wont let you think about the burn. But afterwards, yes..
I’m exhausted watching him 🤗

Dont worry. Almost anyone can ride a longboard. 99.99% of people will never be able to do this

I'm liking the idea that this will bring very productive/fun sessions to folks with poor quality breaks. Loving your stoke Kai.
It is dangerous. I hate this shit
They have an electric option that brings “surfing” to those without waves. #gamechanger

Wow. Looks like an Armstrong Foil Great work Armie Armstrong - follow your passion and make your dreams come true, you are a talented designer /builder
The surfer guys must be jealous he's having all the fun while they're out there sunbathing like suckers waiting
This looks awesome. Cant wait to try it out. Excellent video
sick vid kai!!
Just when you think you've seen it all.
I feel like I exercised just watching this!
First person to hydrofoil across the english channel ! Keep thrusting dude !

Funny nontheless, how they look at him enviously
and what happened to that other hyrofoiler @3:51 , he vanished
You make it look ridiculously easy man..... Bossing it!!
Awesome invention..just beautiful
You are the god of water sports kai
This shit sucks ass.
Dude this looks 1000 times better than just surf!!
😂😂
Nice. Very well done, fella 😉
you are clearly having much more fun that the other surfers sitting on their board further out waiting for ever to get a good wave !
Rides wave - “SICK”
Bounces to next wave - “erm...”
I love it because he's above all the sharks

When catching a wave means getting a rest! Wow, thats a workout!
Hopefully no one ever duck dives under one of these on a wave by misjudging the kind of board it is.
