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 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.

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

Thanks for the suggestion HBsup.

I just posted the second interview with Sam Loader of PPC foiling, lots of interesting gear talk, my impressions of the PPC Soar board, and much more, enjoy!

Yes, front foot pressure is key to process in wing foiling.

I will keep the interviews coming, in the next interview I will catch up with Sam Loader from PPC.

I thought the "Top 5 tips for Wing Foiling Beginners" in the interview with Alan Cadiz were great, so I made a separate video and a blog post, please share it with beginners that want to learn to wing foil:

I'm stoked you liked the interview with Adrian from Axis foils.  This next interview was with Clifford Coetzer, the founder and designer at Unifoil who designed some of the first high aspect surf foils.  We go over tips for wing foil beginners, his background, how he started making foils and started Unifoil, foil design evolution, construction, stiffness, tradeoffs, testing prototypes, foil characteristics, and more, enjoy.

In today's interview, I speak with Adrian Roper, the man behind AXIS foils. We get into some tips for beginners, talk about his background and how he got into watersports at a young age, and then we talk in detail about foil design, how to set up the foil properly, how different aspects of the foil setup affect how the foil performs, new designs he is working on, the mast, importance of stiffness, the fuselage, the angles of the foil. So many cool technical things. I learned a lot from this show. I hope you do as well.
This new Axis brochure has the shim guide Adrian mentions on pages 41,42: http://www.axisfoils.com/current-brochure

Welcome to Season 2 of the Blue Planet Show.  It's been a while but I'm planning to put out more great interviews this summer.  Starting off with a group of 5 of us talking all about wing foiling with tips for all levels of wingers.
We talk about wing handling in onshore waves, jumping off the lip and landing back in the wave, back loops, getting up on foil, equipment tips, and tips for beginners and those getting started.

This is an older thread but we just posted a video on how we like our footstraps and you will notice that Derek's is quite different from the setup Eli and Robert use:
