Awesome job! I was escorting Roy Young and we were just north of you most of the channel. I kept looking over at you trying to figure out what looked wrong, then realized you didn't have a paddle! Soo Good!
Fantastic accomplishment. Really appreciated the video footage. Would like to hear more about the paddle gloves. Now for the big question. Any idea when the AMP JET AND AMP MAST will be available? I've been holding off buying a foil drive in anticipation of your product release. Please give me some kind of an update. Aloha, Don
Yeh stoked. Can’t believe I made it! Pre-orders for the AMP will go live on their website on September 3rd. Keep an eye on your email if subscribed! 🤙🏼
I’m getting on in my years, I’m almost 52 years old. Imo this activity called foiling is amazing just by the sight of it never having tried it. It’s amazing this is possible.
It's not too late! I started wake foiling at 62, wing and prone foiling at 63 and will be turning 67 in a few months. Don't miss out on this incredible sport! I haven't cracked the DW mastery but have not given up yet. Foiling is amazing
That’s amazing! Yeh there’s a couple of guys I tow with at home that are 70 years old and they are out every day. They swear it’s making them feel younger!
I started at 63 with a wing. not so sure about downwind channel crossing, but riding waves like Mr. B in AUS sure looks cool. I'm starting to ride some breaking waves after only 3 months winging.
Incredible that you did not have ideal training conditions back home prior to the event. Looking back now would you do anything differently to prepare? Too bad about the Boat Wash which seems to be a complaint from many of the Competitors (perhaps everyone can wear tracking devices so the Chase boats can keep their distance). Do you think the Organizers will create a new Category for Handpaddle SUPF in the future?
Well, I did have really good prone waves every day leading up to the event for months so I was foiling a lot and trying to make a point of pumping around a lot to get the legs conditioned. So that probably helped a lot. Nothing more I could have done really besides just going foiling everyday. Yeh I think it would have been fine if the boats waited the 15 mins they were supposed to wait for. One of the boys suggested that the top 30/40 guys shouldn’t need a boat as long as they had trackers, phone, epirb etc. we did all have trackers on us so they could have found us anyway. I hope I can inspire some people to do it with hand paddles and maybe one day they’ll create a seperate division. I’m just stoked I could finally do the crossing and I made it! It was so rewarding making it across the finish line! 😀
The story telling and footage is what sets this apart.
Always an inspiration! And music on point 🙏🏽🔥
Thanks man! 🙏🏼

Haha sick. What an amazing experience!
Epic footage. So good to document the crazy boat wash at the start.
Yeh it was hectic!
Epic. I bet 62km brings on the legs cramps. Thanks for sharing dude!
Yeh legs were cooked, but actually they were worse after the 43km Maui to Molokai 2 days earlier. They weren’t too bad after this one!
Epic. And love to see the Milos coming in handy for comms with your crew!!
Yeh stoked on those things. They made it super handy to communicate with the my support team!
Bloody dead set Legend , great video Thanks. How's the boat chaos at 4.30min OMG
Man it was so gnarly. So glad I could stay on foil 🤣
Well done mate! Inspiring.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I think about that almost every day. It’s unbelievable what we are able to do on the foils these days!
It's not too late! I started wake foiling at 62, wing and prone foiling at 63 and will be turning 67 in a few months. Don't miss out on this incredible sport! I haven't cracked the DW mastery but have not given up yet. Foiling is amazing

Legends love you❤
Love ya mate. So fun!
Keep those vlogs coming 🤙. What gloves are those?
Roger! They are @darkfin power gloves 🤙🏼
Nice Mr. Bennetts, what gloves do you use ?
They are the Dark Fin power gloves 🤙🏼
@@misterbennetts thanks Adam, You are the most responsive
🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
👍🍺🏄🏼
Yew!
I'm not this good yet but I will be one day 😂
✅✅✅
I imagine it is nice not to have to carry a paddle with you. The gloves seem like a better way to go.
Yep 100%. Although the paddle can help you get through some dead decisions, it’s nicer for sure!
Malahini get more kolohe every time
Haha I never realised Kolohe meant naughty 🤣
@@misterbennetts your an animal bro for doing this 😂
Haha thanks bro. Stoked!
