The Mystique and Counterintuitive Aspects of Surf Foiling
1:04:08 - 1:10:29 (06:20)
The speaker describes the counterintuitive aspects of surf foiling, such as needing to put pressure on both sides of the board, and how the sensation of riding a foil is the closest thing to flying while being in the water. He also recalls a great wave he surfed in Central America that was later ruined by the 2011 tsunami.

In contrast to regular surfing where leaning on a rail generates a lift on the other side, learning to foil requires equal pressure on both sides as pushing on one side generates lift against it.

Summary
In contrast to regular surfing where leaning on a rail generates a lift on the other side, learning to foil requires equal pressure on both sides as pushing on one side generates lift against it. Foiling provides a unique experience of flying on the water with minimal resistance due to the board being elevated off the water entirely via the use of a larger foil while the efoil is useful for beginners to get a feel of flying on the water by having the board's motion partially assisted by a motor.
