pretty epic! its neat that he can ride that knee high wave that doesnt look like it has enough push for even a longboard. i dont want to imagine what collisions look like with this board in a crowded lineup though :shock:

That would work for Acadia at 0.5mHB, 500 meters out at 9 ft tide edge of sand bank produces waist high waves that roll for a distance. My floaty windsurfer can get at them for a while but it's too much drag. I should get an old surfboard and modify, foils are expensive for what they are.

You'd need a steep section to get up on foil though. I'm pretty sure that knee high wave he's riding was breaking on a reef farther out and that's where he paddled in to it.
