Anyone who has tried it knows. There\u2019s a reason why you don\u2019t see a whole pile of people who are really, really good at it. It\u2019s because it\u2019s hard. Adam Bennetts, however, is one of the best foilers in the world, and that\u2019s because he puts in the time. It\u2019s also because he\u2019s got a solid surfing background, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinertia.com\/surf\/adam-bennetts-foil-surfing-cold-therapy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">once he figured out how to ride a foil, he never looked back.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The video you see here, courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_jc_KRzE7Jc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Mr. Bennetts<\/a>, is a great example of how a surf foil should be used. Not only skill-wise, but you\u2019ll probably notice that Bennetts isn\u2019t surfing a croweded point break. Instead, he found himself a fun, empty wave, and proceeded to do what he does best: absolutely tear apart every wave he\u2019s riding.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you\u2019re as good as Bennetts, foiling looks easy.
