Cre8ing a colorful life.
First Time Prone Foiling
Jeff Yates takes me prone foiling for the first time and here’s how it went…
Success! …well sort of… I come from a lifelong surfing background and in the last 3 years have really taken to wingfoiling. I winging because of a nerve issues in my neck when paddling prone, making surfing very difficult.
Using a 70 L 23 inch wide board, 1400 low aspect foil, and a 70 cm mast I was able to get up and ride 3/10 waves!
On one hand, I thought for sure I’d be able to get it based on my experience. On the other I knew it was very different to surfing and winging.
My old surfing instincts kicked in and I wanted to paddle into the peak, but new better. Seems best to start by just catching the rolling foam, and like Jeff said, 'Go straight.’
The first several attempts I simply popped up too fast and did not keep the board (and foil) level. As soon as my feet were planted I was already leaning into an unrecoverable angle.
After a few times of the same thing happening, it really sunk in that I need to slow my pop up and make sure I was keeping the board level. Then it worked!
By the 4th attempt I was able to activate the foil and glide a little. Each wave after that got a little better and by the 10th wave I was able to pump and glide to the beach! Stoked!

It is difficult to express the deep feelings of gratitude I have for the experience of crossing the Pailolo Channel with @samnokaoi @molokaiholokai It is an incredible privilege and honor to do an inter island, open ocean foil crossing, and to be invited to such a powerfully beautiful, sacred and protected place that is Molokai. There is nothing else like it. Here is a quick highlight reel, whi...

The wait is OVER! The new line of KT boards are arriving and WOW… 46L Ginxu 2 Pro Carbon… love at first glide! Their new boards are completely refined from their previous line with even more exceptional performance and durability. Bravo @ktfoiling for having the courage to try something different with the original step bottom Ginxu designs and to have stuck with it into this year’s line. There ...

Nice job!
Thanks!
Love it.
🤘🤡🤙
Yes!🔥
What were the pros and cons for this wing? Are you still using it?
Thanks, I did one like the sunrise but made a few changes.. thank you for the inspiration!
Wonderful!
Can’t wait to receive my Osprey 1250! Hoping to find a foil that excels in the wind bumps.
That one should do it! I’ve been very surprised at how well the 750 and 950 pump, and even can catch up to swell in Hawaii.
This is awesome! I’m doing this for my girlfriend’s birthday! I’m curious- how drastically does this affect sound quality?

thanks so much Na Pali Coasters! that was a lot of fun!
Gigabased
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
❤❤❤
I did the same thing with my personal hygiene products
Great piece of art!!!👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
😂🤙
I am going to try it on my Snowboard. I just got a 7.5M wing. Go Kauai!
I have been wanting to try that too! Let me know how you go!
I also want to paint up my Ukulele... your work is amazing 🤩
Thank you! I hope you create something fun too!
"promo sm" 🤪
this shit had me gone bruh
glad to help
Click bait title 😒🤨👎🏼
Wow! What great footage !!! ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
This is super amazing😮
Always awesome seeing ocean critters out there!
pinting ukulele doesn't change sound or not
czcams.com/video/UZjoJmp-9xQ/video.html ⬆️ This is a video I made based on that question. It really depends on how much paint you put on it. With the thin layers I use, there is no notable difference.
Nice review, Seth. Also a big shout out to Unifoil for the big beefier M8 Torx screws that don't strip or back out for the mast to fuselage and mast to board connections. Also have been impressed with the stiffness of the Katana masts!
Thanks Jeff! And I totally agree!
Yeah Seth. Charge um but tie those shorts good.
Way to Go, Seth!!! ❤️
from Aunt Louise☺️
Thank you!!! Love you!!
The Bih Kahuna. Nice bruddah
Thank you 🤙
You're track looks like it ran over a boat?
🤮🤢you in the bathroom
You the one watching 👀
Lmao. I swear that's my cat!!!!!
My cat does that too😂😂
Cut and good job
Shouldn't matter as much on a cheap ukulele I suppose but wouldn't want to attempt it on a better quality one when you're faced with dulling the sound.

Dude this is an amazing “how to” video! Answered every question I had and gave me some ideas. Thank you so much!
Very glad to hear it has been helpful for you!
Very cool...did you sell these Uke's?
Thank you! Yes, these all sold long ago 🤙
That is my school
Nice video. Love the skateboard in bare feet.
Thank you, no shoes and skateboarding is not ideal, but when in Hawaii 🤷♂️🤙
impressive jump on the flight attendant 2, what did you liked the most the foil or the wing ?
Thanks and great question! I’ve been really stoked riding the Reedin wings and foils. All made well and ride well. I’m regularly on the Flight Attendant 980 as it’s very versatile for surf and freestyle. I’ve been hammering on this set for a few months and it’s still holding strong. The wind wings have great power, even more in the Superwing X. The regular Superwing seems a bit more balanced when flagging in surf. I’ve been lucky to try lots of different stuff and all around, their gear is solid. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you’d like to get connected with a dealer or demo. 🤙
@@sethcre8s im in France =) thanks for you answer tho, and the north wing did you liked it too ?
@@youdigsurf bonjour! The new North Mode wing is a step up in power and performance from the Nova. The Nova is still good, but Mode has more power and a more versatile wind range.
Nice! I'll be riding there again soon.
Thanks! Stoked!
Super cool vibes coming thru the video! Did you use the harness that much? Or did you need to?
Am STILL feeling the vibes from that run! Used the harness a few times but definitely didn’t need to. Riding the open ocean bumps allowed for plenty of arm resting. As well, the run can be done in less than an hour.
Thanks Seth for another Kauai Beauty! The time lapse really shows the planning. I just enjoyed passing (without honking) during your work on this of this island favorite. I appreciate your work, daily on my island travels.
Great angle! Love the shallow reef jump and slide outs
Do you think 100 grit sandpaper would be fine for sanding?
Sanding when first painting that is, my uke is one of the cheap ones with a gloss finish (mahalo 12 fret).. if that has anything to do with it. Also, would it be okay to paint the fret board if you’d like? Thank you!
@@ohmbhatt257 aloha, I think 100 grit might be a little course and could leave scratch marks. If that doesn’t bother you then go for it, the paint will definitely stick. I don’t recommend painting the fretboard of you plan on playing the uke, as it will wear off. If it’s for decoration, then by all means paint away! Hope this helps, good luck and have fun! 🤙~Seth
@@sethcre8s thank you so much!!!
We did it this past Saturday with no issues. Took 8 hrs including hanging at the wall
Absolutely love your work. I've just got into playing and making my very first ukulele. Won't be as good as yours though 😊👌🏼
🤙🤙🤙💯
Looking forward to some more test runs and will get some more photos for you too!
This is amazing. Could I also add some gold-leaf?
Thank you! Gold leaf would look amazing! I don’t see why not!
@@sethcre8s Thank you. I got a hold of a few batches 24 carat gold leaf many years ago and after watching your video I thought that adding some of that would look great. I just feel the world could do with a ukulele adorned with gold leaf. I know that I can't use any varnish on gold leaf, but I get special advise on that.
@@libelle8124 awesome! I’d love to see how it comes out!
Hey man I just want to say great vid I’m wondering can I do this with paint brushes and acrylic paint
I was really hoping you were gonna stick that one-foot landing @1:35. Totally emotionally invested!
Meee too!
