Well, what's the point of any recreational activity? ....

Having fun I guess :-)

so you can use your 'race-length' paddle for surfing?


(wouldn't be too keen on this at crunchies on the low tide)

Mad...he could pretty much ride swells with no shape yet. Pretty impressive.
Not for me but I'd have a shot if he offered.

Awesome! Surely down winding would be unreal with this? No bumps, no chatter, endless silent gliding, linking bump after bump almost without the need to paddle through the troughs
Someone needs to downwind this fin ASAP and share the video

Exactly what I was thinking, those waves he was catching looked pretty slow. If possible downing, no more $4000 boards either

It is because it is Bruno André, who has been practicing foil on windsurfing / SUPing for years, a true pionneer.

His SUP foil design is also specialized for low speeds.

I wonder what the size and weight limits for riding foils are? Looked like a pretty small board and the rider was no goliath either

There would be a lot of drag paddling one of these things at non planing speeds I would imagine.
