SUP foiling in the Gorge.   

It would have been really interesting to see someone on a downwind board for comparison.

Huh.  Well it looks like they are on relatively tiny boards that would be really hard to ride DW bumps on, so foiling opens the unridable realm for smaller boards.

For me the intro and soundtrack seem out of sync with the  conditions, had it been a low key intro with a mellow fun tune I suspect the video would work better for me.  After the I intro I was expecting overhead cranking conditions with 1000 yard rides.  :)
Aloha, I welcome and appreciate all responses of positivity and good feeling.

Are those kids or adults on the foiled sups?

Looks like propeling a sup foil is more about pumping than paddling.

It's all written for you in the vid.

Alex is the adult. Go foil.

The first kid, Finn Spencer, is 12! Big bro Jeffrey 15 i think. They rock. They've been in a few foiling vids.

[edit to add] thanks for making me rewatch it.

Is that windsurfer's yellow helmut a full face!!!???

I would love to give that a try...though they look very wee. At 255 - 260 I think the SUP foil tech is going to be a while out for us clydesdales.
