I love trying new things. Especially if they're on the water. This is Wing Surfing!

This is going to be the next big thing, I just just feel it. Give this sport 5 - 10 years and it'll be as popular as kiting and windsurfing

On a planet with overcrowded kite surfing spots, back to a solution that doesn't need 25m of rope seems like a very very good idea!

Wow!! The gear really has come a long way. Back then (only 4 yrs ago) that wing was probably top of the line. It's floppy, flappy, and loose!! It took a lot of wind to generate the power needed for what he was doing. Look at the gear now. Ocean Rodeo's all Allula (AA) line just came out and it's stiff as a board and 4 times as light. You can Wing now in wind that you could only kite foil before. Amazing progress!!

This guy is just Awesome! Watching his video’s on here, there is nothing that involves the ocean and a board that he can’t do and make it look beautiful..and effortless. He looks like he belongs to the waves, it is wonderful to watch, thank you for posting such incredible natural talent.

That under - fin should be clear, to give the appearance of hovering just above the water with that kite!

No ropes to get tangled with other riders. I’m on board! Love it!

Back in the 80's a friend of mine experimented with something like this, which at the time he was calling a 'wind weapon'. Although I'm sure this newer form is more advanced, from what I recall my friend's had a similar kind of 'wing' design but it was attached to the board via a kind of mast with swivel joints at either end to allow for articulation of the wing. He was particularly excited about it's potential to effectively 'glide' through the air if one turned the wing horizontally during a jump, a bit like a glider's profile. Looked wild then and looks wild now... super cool !!!

Do you want flaying like a bird ...no no no 😂😂😂

I started water sports with wingsurfing and, even though it was a lot of fun, after trying kitesurfing once I switched over to that as it's much easier when you learn it properly in my opinion. Also cheaper as there is a large 2nd hand market for equipment.

Incredible skill. Why doesn't the video show him water starting in bumpy surf.

I read a kids book about an inlet only flying boats could get to. Nice to see it does exist.

For the confused and the haters: New versions for surf are inflatable. Robbie Naish and Slingwing have versions that are really well thought out. The idea is "Less is More." Kitesurfing is a rat's nest of lines and equipment. Yeah, good kitesurfers are gonna rip more with their actual KS rig. But throw this in the water with a SUP, especially without the foil, and you have the easiest possible combo to cruise around and have fun on. People who have zero chance of mastering a windsurf or kiteboarding rig could cruise around and have fun. If you're against that? Nothing I can say will change your mindset, I guess. I know what Kai would say.
