Foiling on boat wakes and standing waves thread

[yugi]

Poor quality video but this guy is getting a super long ride on a boat wake:

do you think you could paddle into that?

I'm hoping so...
so my real question is what board would one need to be able to get up to foil speed for such a wake.

our future is so awesome!

Winch foiling:

From Kai Lenny's FB page:
What a blast it was doing Hydrofoil River surfing!
interestingly, it feels as though you're going so fast but when you look to both side of the river everything is stationary. Never felt that much speed in my life without actually moving forward! Can't wait to do more of it.

shit quality, average wave, heaps of fun! definitely need to install foot straps and i think lose a little angle on the tail foil, I seem to be running alot of negative incidence compared to go foils etc

[surfcowboy]

I really want to try this. What speed were you running the boat at?

I'm gonna try to not comment on the rope thing as I hate nervous nellys. You're a grown ass man, to quote Cedric the Entertainer.

Is this a home built foil?

that was 7 - 8kts. a rope is ok as long as it stays slack! much easier to fall off the wave and pull yourself back on with the towline than to spend the whole day doing circles picking people up! yup full foam core/carbon home made job

Excellent!

Very good ! What angles are you running in the wings

[surfcowboy]

So good man. This is something I'd hoped was possible. Looks like work to keep it on the wave but I'll bet it gets easier over time. Congrats

Sweet!
I had a tuttle box put in my smallest shortboard, really stoked to try this behind the boat.

the rear foil is about -1 degree or so and the front maybe +4 or 5 degrees, you dont need alot of angle with these big fat foils

its not so much trying to keep on the wave, theres plenty of power there its just super twitchy with all the disturbed water off the boat and it was no where near as calm as it looks, every other bloke and his dog was out on the water too

another quick vid, not sure why the qualities gone bad ??

nice, looks like your foil is working well.
