A short but sweet video. Nice to see the foil underneath the board in the clear water.

Thanks for sharing the video.

Am I the only one? 

Having been on/beat the %$#@ out of myself on an old school air chair foil on flat water- I understand how uber-touchy and difficult a foil is. The videos out there of SUP foils of CP, Kai etc make it look way easier than it is.  But.... the whole foil thing is one of those things that... looks like it would be SUPER fun on outer reefs, down winding etc , but to my sensibility, it ain't much to look at. Can't help but think every time I do... know he's having a blast but it appears slow, plodding and almost always lacking grace/flow. I'm sure as the whole thing progresses w/ equipment and skill that WILL change.
