Wing Foiling in Big Waves: Joys and Perils

Surviving in big waves with an inflatable wing- the joys and perils of wing foiling.
A big advantage of the wings is that they can be completely de-powered when riding a wave. The big downside in bigger waves is that they get dragged by waves and it's impossible to duck under whitewater. When the wing gets dragged by a big wave, a broken leash, or worse, a torn wing is often the result. Derek Hamasaki demonstrates how to deal with this situation with style and self rescues his wing.
I also demonstrate how the wing can be flown over oncoming walls of whitewater while waiting for a break in the waves.
Thanks for watching, Aloha!
