Kai Lenny Downwind SUP Foil

SUP foiling in the Gorge.   

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

The windsurfing looks more fun with less work !

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.

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!!!???

Those Spencer kids are pretty good...
Just got a higher wind front wing for my foil...can't wait to give it a go...

I think I'd still keep the paddle though to fend off those big fish.. 

[clay]

Wow!  This whole DW SUP foil action keeps blowing my mind

[magentawave]

Now that is super cool.

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.
