@@nomadhabit I hate to break it to you, but it's "sharky" almost everywhere but the odds of an attack are extremely rare. You're just going to have to face the fact the music is melodramatic. My comment stands uncorrected.
I know it's freaking hilarious!! He doesn't get within 50m of the breaking part of the wave and it's about 2 foot and fat asf!! Really warrants that epic background music! I'm still waiting for whatever it's supposedly building up to to actually happen!! lol
I'm of two minds about this foil surfing. On the one hand, it's awesome that you can surf the waves long before they start breaking, and it looks like you're floating in the air. So way easier to find waves that are rideable. On the flip side, it looks less satisfying than carving turns directly on the face of a wave. Considering I'm not a great surfer and I don't get to surf too often, learning to foil surf might be worthwhile. It does still look like fun, and once I get a handle on it, I would appreciate the longer rides.
It gives one the sensation of big wave surfing when only smaller waves can be found. And with significantly less risk..so it's actually quite pleasant and satisfying in it's own way.
Been surfing 26 years and I would guess that foiling is more fun that it looks. I have absolutely no interest in watching someone foil a 3 foot wave that's not even breaking, but like I said I bet it would be fun.
"Less satisfying " you need to include in your equation the fact that in order to get satisfied, you need to compete with an army of surfers that want the same satisfaction on YOUR wave. Much of that is not very SATISFYING at all.. Notice that all that is gone here.
I want to dial in a couple of good, low rockered longboards and surf that place someday from way out back. But foils really open up a lot of wave face that goes unridden. Cool video.
With that music, I kept waiting for him to fight a giant sea bear, decapitate some druid boogieboarders, or maybe just add the last tier to the world's tallest super tall house of cards ever made atop the nose of a foil. You let me down, Laird. You let us all down.
Yes, they have. Mostly started around 2010, and now they are everywhere and dropping boatloads of lame surfers on the point, ruining the amazing experience that was Chicama. Pre-boats (post zero crowds), the wave handled 400 surfers across a day no problem, mystic walk back, everybody got waves, no hassle. Totally unique experience. Unless it's over 15ft., you don't need a boat
Big props to Laird as one of the god fathers of foil in the surf but I don’t understand why he is on a sup? He gets taken back to the top via zodiac so he could ride a 4’ board with the same foil by having the zodiac tow him in. Seems like he is leaving a lot of turns on the table by riding the sup. Killer footage and wave regardless of the board.🤙
The zodiac is apparently just a taxi and judging by the spot where he takes off, it seems like it would be pretty hard to use a 4’ board without being towed in. In the end, you ride the foil, not the board anyway…
@@aschwa5 It makes sense when towed in or with a kite to use the smallest board possible but, when paddling into bigger waves, I will personally pass on the tiny boards.
this guy's haters are wack. he did it, you didn't ... get over it. Oh, you paddled where he towed? You paddled along the trail he blazed. Just saying, due respect where respect is due. Guy is a pioneer with the skills to make new things happen. No disrespect to those who come after. But keep the chronology correct.
Not bad for a guy, 3 years till 60, with a hip replacement and a host of decades injuries! Music, smusick, try to see the forest through the tree, Lee !
Ya know ya kinda get the feelin like no guy lives like this guy. What kinda of a james bond mission impossible wave wisperer is this guy anyway. Touble is he make it look like you could do it to. ;)
Hey Laird, good see you are still ripping, you look like a big dude, I'm a big guy in weight, 120kg or 264 pounds I think. I got a nice point nearby my place where i reckon i could get some good rides on a foil. What would be the minimum boards or gear i could use, can you tell me about your gear? I am aware it is a difficult sport, and I already surf, paddle board and body board, at an intermediate level for all 3, I am looking to expand my surfing possibilities.
@@Bark3rd You never know, besides, i was more thinking maybe someone knows what he rides and they would answer or guess reasonably accurately, I suppose that never occurred to you simpleton?
You'll definitely want the biggest production foil to start with smaller waves and slower speeds. Something in the range of 2500 sq cm surface area. Larid is on a good size wave riding fast meaning he'll get lots more lift out of a smaller foil, probably about 1000 sq cm here.
Legend has it that he is still riding that wave till this day
Some say when the moon is full you can still hear the sound of slicing water.
And he's not even surfing the pocket!
How rude
Surfing a foil is like riding a bicycle on a flat and smooth road. You'll either fall asleep either get yelled at by your stomach.
@@dggfghh1447 I fell asleep just watching
The drone footage is incredible, brilliantly shot and framed.
But the music is dumb.
@@roncruiser Couldn't agree more.
Great footage, funny music. The music sounds like it's shark infested waters and any slip means certain death. LOL
It's pretty sharky out there, lot's of sea lions that attract them...there is even evidence from the inkas that this coastline has many sharks
@@nomadhabit I hate to break it to you, but it's "sharky" almost everywhere but the odds of an attack are extremely rare. You're just going to have to face the fact the music is melodramatic. My comment stands uncorrected.
To be honest I think that's sorta the effect they were going for, suspense! Irregardless of sharks that was still pretty rad!
@@mccoybyz1099 Yep, either way I loved the footage. Great stuff.
I was thinking Benny Hill music would be more appropriate.
This guy never stops… love him
Damn good job to whoever was controlling that drone! I surfed Pacasmayo with Laird a few years ago, he is such a cool down to earth dude.
What's with the music? You'd think he was defusing a nuclear bomb, or just about to cure cancer.
I know it's freaking hilarious!! He doesn't get within 50m of the breaking part of the wave and it's about 2 foot and fat asf!! Really warrants that epic background music! I'm still waiting for whatever it's supposedly building up to to actually happen!! lol
"In a world... of infinite lefts... one man... one foil... one paddle... will destroy prone surfing forever."
@@thomasscoville1148 lol 😂
I kept waiting for something really awesome to happen and it was just Laird just cruising back and forth.
Its Laird, comes with the territory, always trying to make shit more dramatic than it is.
What’s with the music? Is he foiling the ring to Mordor?
Lol 😂
Yeah, beautiful place but the music is ugly.
Best yet 🤣
This comment made my day. Thank you.
Nice how the foil can easily stay in the wave despite wave being quite flat

answer this what's more fun fat flat waves or sucking hollow barrels?

@@tormarquis Wouldn't that be the same if you were surfing? You'd still have to compete with every surfer in the lineup to catch the wave.
Amazing. To quote an old surfing movie, “that ride is so long it’s not surfing-it’s transportation!” 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Bloody shoulder hopper! I think he crossed three time zones and really he should have been made to show his passport at each border!
Grande Lair, siempre te sigo, saludos desde Marcona-Perú
That looks so weird, surfing without a rail in the water.
I want to dial in a couple of good, low rockered longboards and surf that place someday from way out back. But foils really open up a lot of wave face that goes unridden. Cool video.
I surfed my old 9'6" Wingnut Noserider (Surftech) at Chicama. So much fun.

The back drop is sick, he is flying!
He shoulder hopped the shit out of that wave!
As a Peruvian it was an honor to have this guy surfing in my country
Music is not a good choice!
However Laird is foil legend
🤙
Agreed. The music is a little too dramatic. Ok its way too dramatic but yes anything Laird does is still cool.
If he was beating back a hoard of great whites with his sup paddle it would have been spot on :)
Have to disagree. The music choice is very appropriate for Laird. The music is dramatic and horrible nontheless.
@@Putocurioso Yeah O'l Laird is pretty horrible and dramatic!
Nice would love to try. This guy looks familiar! Oh yeah Lance Burkhardth from the Movie north shore.🏄🌊👍
Dang I’d like to ride that wave on a normal long board. You could have a picnic.
Excellent music choice, it's not just some dude fun cruizing, it's Laird Hamilton rinding the longest wave in the world, epic!
Music is so epic, might be best suited for Nazare, not a mush burger forever chill foil
That's the most gorgeous longboard wave I've ever seen...
No, a bit too flat. You would be able to surf parts of it but like this. A foil is the only way to go for a really long ride.
@@powskier True. I bet it fires with more size, but I wouldn't know.
@@agangofkooks4913 it does
Amazing camera work!!!
The El Hombre of surfing .........
Some very nifty operating. Well done.
I want to Go Surf Peru now! Looking for a Killer Left Break as a Goofy foot this looks Sweet.
Its amazing, all year you have waves here!! You are welcome!
you need to wait a big swell to see it works
Los lobitos had better waves in the 3 months I was there 10 years back.
With arms widee opeenn!!! thats your music video right there Creed! what you guys waiting for!!!!
What's up with all the boats! in 75 we walked to the point....oh yeah surfed there for 2 months alone......wow times sure have changed...
In 75! That historical surfing 🌊.
Yes, they have. Mostly started around 2010, and now they are everywhere and dropping boatloads of lame surfers on the point, ruining the amazing experience that was Chicama.

I like these. I would like to see more.
King of shoulder hoppers.
This sup board was a 7.0 ....? Please, tell us about the equipment he has used...Thanks.
Excellent piloting!
Excellent Laird!
Sub'ed and Bell'ed amigos.
I’m
Happy if I get a ride lasting 30seconds. Wow that was insane
If laird makes it seem not that easy….must be hard
What ended first?
The wave?
The Drone Batteries?
Laird's legs?
Your brain

@@dialy1 yeah but smaller board is a lot more fun, carvier. It comes down to swing weight. On the kite I'm now riding a 36-in...
@@aschwa5 It makes sense when towed in or with a kite to use the smallest board possible but, when paddling into bigger waves, I will personally pass on the tiny boards.
Legend, much respect!
What powers that gizmo it looks like great fun how do you get it started it super coolio
What’s with the Harry Potter soundtrack ?
Hi there, I will be visiting Chicama next May. I love this video. We are looking for a drone videographer…are you available?
What kind of board is that? It is not on top of the water. Really crazy. Is this for real, or just a simulation???
Professor☆☆☆☆☆
Parabéns pelo trabalho*
*The battle drum music was silly, but Laird was very cool, smooth, and stylish, with this unique way of surfing.* 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WHATS WITH THE DRAMATIC MUSIC,IS A UFO CHASING HIM.?
love everything about this but the music
Still leading the way
Somebody knows which music is it ? I like it
I met Laird Hamilton in Nicaragua, he was a tool.
I've heard that from everyone that's ever met him.
What board is he riding?
Did he paddle or was he towed?
En lima hay playas así?
Master and living legend!
Did he shoot the pier?🤔
A regarder ça a l'air facile = Oui mais c'est Laird !
Seems to be easy - Yes but it's Laird !
I surfed a river wave for over two hours once and it would have been longer but I had to go to work.
That must be fun. Go Laired
What's with the music? It's cool he can still do it but it's not mission impossible.
Don't come. You are not welcome. This is our wave
@Boat Docks fine one less kook
???
I'll wait till I'm 70 to surf this mushy mushburger.
@@tyson9419 yeah, the wave is crap. Don't come, go to indo.
th-cam.com/video/dmOlUJNsEZo/w-d-xo.html
you can have it.
I wouldnt be caught dead riding that death mobile
Not even a surfer and thanks for posting mega cool
It’s like a James Bond movie
Foils are king now for sailboards and kites, at least in the Columbia River Gorge.
Electric board?
What's the paddle for anyway?
Why do foilers stay away from the break, the critical part of the wave?
Foils are not welcome in the crowded lineup. They're really Dangerous
Not bad for a guy, 3 years till 60, with a hip replacement and a host of decades injuries! Music, smusick, try to see the forest through the tree, Lee !
my legs hurt just watching. his thighs had to be on fire.
he's not doing much the foil takes the energy from the wave, it not like pumping a rail.
I was able to finish my business in the bathroom watching Laird ride this one wave
😂
Ya know ya kinda get the feelin like no guy lives like this guy. What kinda of a james bond mission impossible wave wisperer is this guy anyway. Touble is he make it look like you could do it to. ;)
Do we really need a boat to surf a wave that starts at 200m from the shore?
Juste The King 💪💪💪👏👏👏👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Catch the bus back to the line up?
What name this Music in your video ?
Is this really Laird?
You have to take the bus back this ride is so long
If it wasn't for the Coffee coloured water it be perfect!
Wow that looks fun.
Its odd, Laird didn't look comfortable on the board...
lol @ the music
What is this wizardry and magic.
Malabrigo la ola mas larga del mundo wow corri en esa playa
“This summer……. one man……..Will Ride………..A Wave”
the wave is beautifull
Dramatic music for pretty chilled footage lol
Rad footage 🤙
he didnt pump back out?
No, its too far to pump back to the point, its like 4 kilometers. They have taxi zodiacs boats
@@dronesurfperu293 he still should have pumped back out tho
@@greg.ocallaghan pump it. …pump it real good.
@@dronesurfperu293 it’s called sarcasm
That is frick n cool!
Nice film, but poor choice of music as it doesn’t match well with the visual content.
I wonder if I could wavestorm that wave
This is how we're supposed to travel.
burkart is a legend, turtle knows cause this isnt a arizona wave poool brah. this is chicamas hydrofoil to defeat the boss
I want to do that!
Amazing !!!!
Magnificent
