While flat water hydrofoiling is still quite a ways off for stand up paddlers, hitting the surf with one is knocking on our doorsteps. The guys from AHD released a video this week showing what can be done with one of the new windsurfing foils, when strapped to a stand up paddle board, and it's by far, the best footage of surfing on a SUP, with a hydrofoil on the internet. Move aside Laird Hamilton, who also has footage online of SUP foiling. Move over Damien Leroy, who tried a year ago to do the same thing, to much less effect. Ever since that old movie "The Billabong Odyssey" came out in the early 2000's, surfers have known about the hydrofoil idea. There's a shot in the movie of Rush Randle surfing an unbroken wave on an old aluminum hydrofoil. He's pumping along an unbroken wave a few feet over the waters surface, talking about how dolphins use the energy under the water to surf for hundreds of miles at a time. "The future of big wave surfing" were his words. Bruno Andr? has it sussed out though, with fluid turns and smooth dismounts. The foil looks incredibly stable, and provides enough lift at super slow speeds to allow him to ride unbroken waves with ease. All needs now is a longer paddle! How long will it be before hydrofoils are common place in the racing scene? Have your say in the Seabreeze.com.au stand up paddling forums.
