Haha. I just hope I get to ride mine for 10m straight!

Jumping a heavy board is fun until you don’t anticipate its pull back down! I was towsurfing a lead-weighted tow board once and did a backside air. Going up was great and then the board changed direction and I didn’t anticipate how hard it would pull your legs back down (strapped in)…hello strained groin…queue physio on groin…

BUT

I cant deny it would be pretty epic to see a backflip on a efoil!

I remember seeing air chair riders doing crazy flips at Sea World many years ago. Check this video out…insane.

Nice idea to intake water at nose section of foil and spray it out at the end of the board. Will work, tested it once with small tube/pipe but we needed massive power, drawing massive KW…:wink:

I tore a few muscles just watching that video! That must take some serious core strength!
