Wing Foil Videos

I upgraded my camera gear this year and shot video at 120FPS, so here is a my collection of Johnny Heineken footage in slow motion.  I have been enjoying seeing all the little details of how he pulls off each move:

Thanks Clay! This is much better than the YouTube slomo feature I had used before to watch your JH footage. Any chance you could post it in mirror so he's a regular foot???

Lot's of late season swells this year, some good days at Ft Point:

Sick Clay, the swell looks awesome. One thing I appreciate about this spot is how clean it can be, where exposed spots in 20+ knots down the coast can mean gnarly surface conditions.

One of these days I'll run into you between MRY-SF. I don't know if racing is your thing but the parking lot vibes are great. There's one at Crissy later this month.

Right on, I often find myself there unknowingly on race night.

New video, impressive to see so many people sending it.  Having seen some epic days here, I can imagine what a really good day at the gorge looks like.

Summer on Oahu is the best: long days, south swells, tradewinds and beautiful sunsets, what more can you ask for as a wing foiler?

Stunning Robert.  Great video.

Thanks Beasho!

Here is today's video:


The Molokai 2 Oahu Race was cancelled again this year and a shorter course on Oahu took it's place- The BlueWater Hawaiian Classic.  The organizers set up a special, shorter course for SUP foilers to be able to race in the bumps- from Portlock Point to the Windsock at Kaimana.  They also opened the race to Wing Foilers and we ended up having the biggest field yet of foiler racers on Oahu gather at the start off of Portlock Point.

The video voiceover touches on the history of the race, training, participants, equipment used, technique and strategy, results and more.

A little humbling -- Balz Muller's repertoire.

Certainly their best effort to date, incredible footage. What a life this Mathieu Fouliard has though I felt a bit sorry for his wife

Winter is here and the first North Swells are arriving on Oahu's North Shore.  Riding these big, moving walls of water is always a rush.  This is a compilation of videos from various videographers, thank you for sharing the footage:

The rider on the big wave in the beginning was Brian Sterns, Eli Maihoho was the one hitting the whitewater and Derek Hama is the one doing the crazy carves.

Thanks Robert. Awesome swells. Warm water. No crowd. Paradise.
