E-foiling is the best way to learn how to foil because they weigh 90 pounds, the E-foils do. Like a high-performance big wave, a high-performance foil will... The whole setup will weigh four or five pounds. Really? Yeah, I mean, E-foil, you have a battery, it's heavy, and you've got electricity to learn how to, to learn foil dynamics.

You can paddle in, but if you're towing in to bigger waves, you're on a small board. You're getting towed in behind a jet ski, whipped in, and then you're just riding. It's epic. It's frictionless.
