Just last month-Laird and friends foil huge Nazare

Worth watching. Beautiful and really shows the potential of foils for tapping a wide open source of ecstasy.

Epic Big Wave Surf Foiling in Nazare w/ Laird Hamiton, Terry Chung, Luca Padua & Benny Ferris

•Mar 6, 2020

Amazing.  Looks so fluid.  

For the first time, it occurred to me that foiling is pretty much unaffected by chop in these really big waves.

Yeah by the time it’s choppy enough to be a problem, you likely couldn’t get the jet ski out

 Laird is surfings SUPERMAN , that movie just goes to show that foils have no need to be in the lineup .

Awesome!   Thanks for posting that.  He’s more confident out in the open ocean than he is driving from one side of Maui to the other after dark.

Could actually be safer!

Yeah when I lived on Maui, that was the story going round.  He wouldn’t go out to the Westside to Honolua Bay etc unless he could leave and get back over to the other side before dark.  Too many "head ons between Lahaina and Maui OGG.
