    There is the Wing-In-Ground (WIG) effect, the board essentially flies close to the water surface while supported by a field of high-pressure air beneath it and above the water surface. This creates the impression that it's simply gliding above a cushion of air. Drag is amplified by the posture of Kai standing up and height above the water surface in relationship to reduce the WIG effect , more drag is addes by the foil size. But Kai is ballzy as ever.
    The WIG effect can work for and against you

    • @robinjones7373
      @robinjones7373 Před 2 lety

      For the wing in ground effect to happen the wing needs to be near the ground or in water the sea floor, so being just below the surface doesn't cause this.

Watching him bouncing off waves & doin' 360s comin' down the face of those waves in Hawaii I thought he was one of the best surfers I've ever seen.

I think I would credit laird with that one, although others did attempt to put a hydrofoil on surfboards in the 60's with limited success. I rode waves (barely) on my aquaskipper hydrofoil which is a human propelled device many years ago.

      In Portugal you have alternative roads to avoid tollls.
      You only pay tolls in some the largest highways. He from Airport in Lisbon to going to Nazaré need to catch the A8 highway and the cost from Lisbon to Nazaré is about 7,05€ (~10 USDolls).
      Time is money if you choose the alternative roads need at least 2hours and half to reach Nazaré (but the view along the sea is great), you pass inside small towns with lot of churches and small castles.
      Using the highway no view only hills but is faster only 1hour and 40 minutes (very careful with speeding in the highway, if you enter the highway (they have cameras that regist the time) and you when you let the highway and the computer make the calculation based in kms you run through and the time you took you to do it, and if that calculations is >132km/h (max speed is 120km/h but they give a 10% of tolerance) you going to have a speed ticket/fine.
