Pono when the wind is blowing the bike path is relatively clear. It is a fairly wide path. Plenty of room for everyone. I blow past the Lifeguard head Quarters and have never been stopped...these videos were pre shut down...

Wetstuff. with the slick pneumatic tires they are like racing slicks and really stick. You can control speed with the wing and it slows down pretty fast if you go to luff. The only sketchy part is around buildings as the wind gets jumbled up and can flip the wing..

Wetstuff, There is quite a bit of pull I need to counter and compensate for slight changes in slack to keep it even.
Especially when whipping around turns.
The hydrofoil can often go faster than the boat and I need to go almost 90 degrees to the pull. That requires for me anyway a lot of upper body and core strength. I am gassed after an up and back run and need to switch out..

The Bike Path is open...
You can wing, ride, or walk in.

Idiots aren't picking up their dog poop. Makes for a shitty slalom course..
