After seeing kai’s video pumping the foil like fool I knew it was coming…Get F’n ready.

I wasn’t quite sure what I was gonna do with the extra 5k I had sitting around, but man! Once I heard that sound track! Sold…
They could always market the video as a cure for insomnia!
I’d rather have one of UncleD’s fishing SUPs or a 14 ft aluminum Jon Boat with a 25 hp Merc.

Agreed, the video is dumb, about as exciting as mowing the lawn, and the cost is out to lunch currently but Seriously? do you guys need red bull or kelly slater to spoon feed you a better video before you realize the potential of this?
Foils can carve…amazingly …like riding in a meter of powder on your snowboard
tearing around on something like this has enormous wave count potential

as well as hitting previously unsurfable unpaddleable, or uncrowded spots.
SUP’s are shit for carving. boats don’t carve…It needs to hit some G force to excite that pleasure center in your brain…this has that potential.
Give me a great wave and I’ll take a surfboard any day of the week but 99.9% of the waves on this planet are barely surfable.
Maybe I missed something. But it looked like they were riding motor-powered hydrofoils in a harbor in the first video posted. No waves.
I just threw up a little bit in my mouth
three things.
“kai concepts” - did they just rip off kai lenny’s name for search traffic reach? no one named kai is the video description
“oops, i ran out of juice, gonna be a long paddle home.”
no wake zone is meaningless
end of the world is getting closer with this and surfing in the olympics.
First near death experince already happenned
warning - graphic photo
Another dopey watertoy with a huge carbon footprint made for those kuks with more money than sense.
So it has stupid marketing and a sky high price but as a recreational rental…that would be awesome. Maybe 30 bucks for an hour or something. Perhaps as date activity it could be a lot of fun, an option to renting a Jetski. I would try it if I could rent it out of my local harbour. Although the liability is probably to high for that to ever happen.
