What do you love about hydrofoil compared to other watersports?
What I love most about hydrofoiling compared to other water sports is the freedom and advantage I have. I love that I can replicate different sports for certain conditions and disciplines. An example is when I’m wave riding and I use my Wing to do my bottom turn and top turn, I’m replicating windsurfing style.
What's your favorite trick or riding style?
My favorite feeling in Wingfoil is perfectly slashing the lip on a wave using my wing.
Which are your 3 favorite spots for foiling? Why?
Kanaha
Ho’okipa
Lago Di Garda
