Enjoying a cigar on the hydrofoil

[Henrik78]

Eating a snack and drinking some champagne!

You were so busy that you barely had any time to ride!!

It's a neat trick and clearly showcases your hydrofoil talents, but I can't think of a worse way to ruin a nice clear clean-air day on the water than drinking alcohol and smoking a foul-smelling cigar. To each his own!

Liquor... Cigars... What's next?

.....Maybe a few lines and a hooker?

Agreed. It's a bit of a stupid instagram fad, and I wonder how much rubbish it ends up contributing, what happens when they fumble that beer bottle?

Look, I’ve been kitesurfing for well over twenty years, and even though I never excelled at anything, and I only just got into hydrofoiling a few years ago… I’ve been working on this sort of trick for a very long time.

Actually, quite a bit longer than I would care to admit…

Having looked at all possibilities from all possible ways, and trying to keep the maneuver within a pg-13 rating, there is only one possible outcome as far as the ultimate trick.

I call it, “The Fying One-Eyed Pirate,” and I believe it is the ultimate light wind hydrofoiling trick, despite the fact that I have never actually mastered it myself…

Nevertheless, and just because I like You, I am happy to describe every single step in detail at this point, in numerical order, no less!

1) as you are sitting on the board, produce a shot-glass, a slice of lime, a salt-shaker, a fifth of tequila, and a large-denomination bill.

2) unscrew the cap of the salt-shaker and pour out a line of salt, just as you are rolling the large-denomination bill into a straw-like shape.

4) carefully fill the shot-glass, to the brim, with tequila.

3) take the slice of lime, and squeeze it into one eye.

4) immediately after step (3) use the large-denomination bill as a straw vigorously to inhale the line of salt (as described in step (2) into one nostril.

5) consume the tequila.

6) stand up on your board, make a bee-line for the shore, ditch all your gear, and run as fast as you can towards the nearest circus.

And that’s it.

I know it is sort of a technical trick, and maybe there are a lot of riders out there who don’t go in for that sort of thing, but after many, many trials, I almost have it mastered, except for step (6).

Somehow that step (6) always hangs me up!

The cool thing about this sport, is that in the end it is a personal thing, and you probably wont get much out of it unless you are doing it for yourself!

I really do not undersand negative responses...
vast majority of adults consume alcohol and/or smoke on boats (google Elon Mask ) or on solid ground, but you are picking on the guy with a hydrofoil?
Is he poluting more that some billioneer with a mega yacht? I dont think so.. All I see is maybe a lost wooden cork... well, it will biodgrade, unlike tons of plastic that is beeing dumped by "normal" beach goers...
Nothing wrong with having a cold one while chilling on a foil, from time to time, imho..

Whatever floats your boat (as they say).

Beer!?!?? It was prosecco!
(No rubbish was left in the ocean)

Haha that sounds like the trick to rule them all!
