He has great skill.

What kind of foil is he riding?

On some of the foil shots, he's riding so smooth it almost looks like he riding on a green screen!

But Shawn, this is how hydrofoils behave, all of them ?

Especially in flat water as in the video - awesome :D

Of course he is one of the best, or THE best, which also makes it even more smooth, no doubt.

But being able to ride smooth and soft even in chop, is the very reason why hydrofoiling is the best feel (IMO it is not because of speed, which is not interesting for me)

That will be the new Airush Monaro hydrofoil. Hopefully out in April in the US...

Julien is crazy good with boards. He always tears it up in Airush videos no matter if he is on a Sector, race board, TT, etc.

I got see him live at Lord of the Winds 2015 in Los Barriles, Mexico. He slayed it. First in course racing, second in slalom, second in freestyle, first in big air. He is fast and was jumping massive with foil board and kite. More impressive is he competed in freestyle with foilboard. He was able to do unhooking tricks including a 313. Mad skills and talent! It really doesnt matter...

A quick google search resulted in this. It looks sick!

Glad you didn't go with the new sector colour scheme :thumb: The red/black is by far one of the best board schemes i've seen.

Interesting wing design, and the slant back mast. Airush kicking it up!

That is not even a photo of the real product, just a drawing.
Just as Shmidy said, on hold.
