Really really good video.

Nice to see a regular tack too, almost foiling :thumb:

It all looks so easy, but it is not :roll:

Amazing and make you feel good to watch :naughty:

Such clean style. Flat water really is the closest you feel to powder snowboarding, maybe even a better feeling.

Turns out it is possible. Fully foiling regular tack (back to wind) at 1:50 in this video. Never seen this before.
