The e-unicycle of Surfing (w/hydrofoil)

Recommended Posts

Well now we got the 'e-unicycle' for surboards... 

adding foils to regular surfboards is the new fad going on.... Gives new dimension to old sport, and they don't mind the 'crappy' waves anymore because the foil can ride on smaller 'less satisfactory' waves. Whole new challenge and mounting and handling boards, and of course you can add a motor, too....

With regular board you can 'walk' the board, but with the foil, you only have one fix place to stand and you need to be one with the foil post at all times...

I have seen some of these. I think I saw a video of the inventor actually going up and down parallel to the beach with no rotor just pumping the board with his legs catching just small currents that I would not call a wave but more like an eddy current ripple effortlessly. It looks magical.
