Seaworthy
From flat water to open ocean swell. Riding in all types of conditions is not a problem with the eTow, as it's designed with optimized proportions to self-right automatically in case of capsizing.
Smooth and consistent pull
Works as an extension of your arm and allows for easy maneuverability. Riding, controlling and progressing have never been easier. The eTow is very intuitive to maneuver and although equipped with a powerful engine it offers a very soft and consistent pull.
Minimum effort
Minimum maintenance required and easy to operate. Compared to a jetski and similar watercraft the eTow requires very low maintenance, is easy to launch in water and very simple to operate.
Safe and easy to use
Operating the eTow is very intuitive and allows for anybody to have fun with it.
Double battery
The eTow is using 2 batteries which are compatible with your Takuma Efoil.
Twin jet propulsion
The eTow is powered by two jet propulsions unified in a V jet system. The powerful V jet system delivers an extremely smooth and consistent pull even at high speed. Coupled with an innovative aqua dynamic shape, the eTow delivers the best progressive and efficient foil take-off.

The eTow is designed to give you full autonomy from 60 to 85 minutes And up to 45km/h.
Rider remote
A completely new way to ride, it can be directly controlled by the rider using a small handheld remote and can also be controlled by an instructor with a more heavy duty coach remote* , making it the best way to learn foiling, give lessons and progress with. The remote control of the eTow does not interfere with the frequencies of ships and/or other watercrafts. *With generic compatible remotes, you can control the eTow in a distance of up to 1,5km.

The unique conditions at the gorge create great swells for downwind SUP foiling- the wind blows opposite the river current which makes the waves stand up more. Downwind foiling has really been taking off and the longer, narrow downwind boards and better foils make it accessible to more people. Don't be fooled by how easy Kane is making it look though, even with the best equipment, the takeoff can be very challenging and so is connecting the swells. Watch and learn.

This is the gear Johnny is using, in his words:
That's a 3.6m ozone proto/aluula flux. I was riding the ML700 with 96cm mast. Funny that you got this session cause it is the one time I tried the 700 in the two months I was up there! It was fun for the lighter breeze that afternoon.

So really stoked about that. Finn recently won the Maui to Molokai race and the Molokai to Oahu race, even though he had a major infection on his foot. So congrats on that. And they are both amazing athletes, not just in wing foiling, but also downwind foiling, prone foiling, surfing. They do everything.
Welcome to another episode of the Blue Planet Show where I interview foil athletes, designers, and thought leaders. I talk not just about the equipment technique and so on. but also try to find out a little bit more about their background, what inspires them and their plans for the future and so on.
You can watch this show right here on YouTube or listen to it on your favorite podcast app. Just search for the Blue Planet Show.

And then Jeffrey gave me your text your cell phone number. So finally getting you guys on the show. Stoked. Yeah. Thank you for having us. Yeah. So you're on Maui. I'm on Oahu. And on Maui, just, since the Molokai race and not too long ago, I was in Lahaina like right before the Maui to Molokai race and everything was fine and now it's all gone.
So can you talk a little bit about the fires on Maui and what, and. If you know anyone that got affected by it totally, yeah, we we had this storm that was passing to the south of the islands and it was like, usually it's not too concerning because it didn't look like it was actually going to hit us.
But what happened was it ended up generating extremely crazy strong winds, like through the whole thing, but there was no rain or anything. So it's just. Like the most windy it's ever been, especially over on the West side in Lahaina. And they're just not used to having, that crazy amount of wind.
So tons of stuff was getting knocked down. And I think just in the chaos, like the fire started, it was, there was ones on both sides of the island. There was some up country up in Kula and then also in Lahaina. So it was probably pretty difficult to be able to actually like. Control everything, especially in that amount of wind.
It spread extremely quickly. And yeah, it's pretty devastating, but yeah, most the entire town of Lahaina pretty much burnt. Quite a few places up country as well, but look, it wasn't as bad up there. Yeah, it's not as densely populated now, at least but yeah, I was just reading in the paper this morning that there was some like live video of the power lines getting knocked over and then just falling into the grass and just like a line of fire starting instantly.
Stuff like that. And then yeah, the wind was so strong that day that it just spread super fast and I guess people didn't even have time to. To get away, it's pretty, pretty tragic. It's like probably the big, the worst fire in, in recent history. Yeah. And then, so do you know anybody that got affected by it or lost their home or?
Yeah. A bunch of our friends on the West side that we know and grew up with Santa paddling and foiling and surfing and just lost everything like lost their homes and pretty much everything. Yeah.
Anyway, yeah, so if yeah, and then I guess I talked to Zane yesterday who lives over on that side too and Zane Schweitzer, he, and he said like they don't need more clothes and stuff like that. Everybody's been sending clothes, but they just need like certain things like VHF radios and containers and things like that.
They need it quickly. So because shipping stuff there, it takes a while, so anyway. Probably the best way to support Maui's is by making a donation. Absolutely. Yeah. The best way is like supporting the families directly. If I know personally, like the Clayton's and the flex from paddling, they're good family friends and there's tons of others.
We're able to find them on there, especially social media has been a really good way for people to communicate through all this and the Maui strong foundation as well as a really good resource that they're able to take the funds and use them wherever's most needed at the current moment. That's another really good one to donate to.
In this interview we talk about technique, strategy, conditions, gear, the possibility of holding foil and paddle events on separate days in the future, and thoughts on escort boats etc. Please let us know what you think about these ideas, we need your input to present to the event organizers, thank you!

"Find us at the end of the Rainbow Bridge"
From fisheries.noaa.gov/species/hawaiian-monk-seal:
The Hawaiian monk seal is one of the most endangered seal species in the world. The population overall had been declining for six decades and current numbers, though increasing, are only about one-third of historic population levels. Importantly, however, the current upward trend is in part due to NOAA Fisheries recovery efforts.
Hawaiian monk seals are found in the Hawaiian archipelago which includes both the main and Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and rarely at Johnston Atoll which lies nearly 1,000 miles southwest of Hawai'i. These monk seals are endemic to these islands, occurring nowhere else in the world. Hawaiian monk seals are protected under the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and State of Hawai'i law.

Big Mahalo to Lucas Purcell for getting the video and editing this fun trip. Please also watch the interviews from after the race, and lots more footage coming soon.
Okay. So after a three year break for the pandemic and so on, the Molokai race, It finally happened again in 2023 and for the first time it had a wing foil division. So I was really excited about that and signed up for the Wingfo division, as well as a bunch of us from Oahu. And a couple weeks ago we went over to Maui and winged from Maui to Molokai, and then did the Molokai Holokai, and then Molokai to Oahu, a little training run.
A couple of weeks before, and then the day before the Molokai race, we flew over and stayed at Kalua Koi, at our friend Eli's place. Beautiful place, right on the water. Here's Derek taking a little cruise on his bike down the path. And at Kalua Koi, the wind is pretty offshore, so the water's smooth on the inside.
And the day before the race, the wind was pretty light on the inside, but once you got a little bit offshore, it was pretty strong winds. And Eli and Derek were decided to use our new prototype wings. We had a six meter and a seven meter version of our new wings and Eli was using the seven and Derek, the six meter.
And then I opted to choose the, my tried and tested seven meter alien wing that I've been using. Here's Nani. So we're just warming up a little bit the day before the race, getting out there, feeling the water, and so on. Of course on the inside it's pretty smooth, and then once you get further out in the channel, the the water gets a lot rougher.
So the evening before the race, there was a little race meeting, everybody meeting on the lawn. at Koala Koi and then they served up a nice dinner afterwards. So for us the energy at this event was amazing. People come in from all over the world, a lot of people from Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Japan.
It's great to see everyone again after like years of not having this event, to see all the top paddlers and foilers from all over the world. It's really cool and to see familiar faces from previous events and so on. So for me personally, this was I think it was like the 11th or maybe the 12th time I did this event.
I did it, mostly on stand up paddle boards, or all on stand up paddle boards. I think I did it eight times solo, two times as a team, and then this is the first time I did it as a wing foiler. Derek Hama was collecting signatures for his poster, so that was a really cool idea, and he got a ton of signatures during the event.
And this is Terry from Virgin Islands, Alan Cadiz from Maui, just hanging out, chatting, and getting excited about the next morning. And then you can see water is... Pretty calm nice sunset, of course, lots of escort boats. Usually the evening before, escort boats will come close to the beach. There's no harbor there you have to swim out to the boat to get your equipment.
Usually the boats take over the equipment. come over from Oahu on the boat. But I usually opt to take a plane because that ride from Oahu to Molokai can be pretty rough when you're going into the wind and into the chop. So it's a pretty rough ride, but many people come over on the boat, but I always prefer to fly over.

Interview Transcript:
Aloha friends, it's Robert Stehlik. Welcome to another episode of the Blue Planet Show, which is all about foiling. Today's video is basically a recap of the Voyager X Wet Feet downwind race here on Oahu. It was probably the biggest foil race we've had here on Oahu anyways, maybe anywhere. I'm not sure, over a hundred participants.
So it's cool to see so many people entering. Standup paddle racing has been shrinking, but foiling is definitely growing fast. I'm talking with Brian Tricario and Derek Hamasaki. Who finished first and second in this race, in the wing foil division. And we got some really great footage from many different people filming along the way, so I really appreciate everyone submitting their footage, sending it to me so we could put together this video for you.
We have the first part, which is a quicker recap of the race, put together by Lucas who also was flying the drone and so on. And then the second part we go into a little bit more detail and showing a lot of footage of the race itself. Harold was in a dinghy following the whole race with this camera, so got some good footage from along the race, so I hope you enjoy it.
Without further ado, here is the Voyager Downwind race.
Aloha friends, it's Robert with Planet Surf and I have Alex Aguera with me here getting ready to get on the water for the maybe the biggest down wind foil race ever. What do you think? I don't know about that, but it's got quite a lot of participants. I heard there's a hundred people competing today, so it's big.
Yeah. And it's all foiling. Standup foiling, wing foiling, and then also some guys are doing prone foiling from Cromwell to the finish, which is by Suicides. Yeah. What are you using today? I think I'm gonna use a 6.5M and a 600 foil
96 liter board. Good float board. There you go. A big combo. Yeah. And then the wind, it's windy today, so that kind of is good for a bit heavier guys. Yeah. Hopefully I don't get lit up too much. Sometimes I really light guys like Derek are really good at light wind. But then, I don't know, Derek. You say something too.
What were you talking about? Talk about your equipment. What you got. Oh, I got a same like Alex 600 front wing hand wing is six meter and a 10 inch tail. Trying to go as fast as you guys. They should have a category of their own, oh yeah. Listen to you. It's called oil company owners.
So yeah. We'll add that next time. Oh yeah. So we see you. And then hope you enjoy the race.
Okay, so I got Derek Kawasaki and Brian Rio here with me, and we're gonna do a little voiceover of this race. So thanks for joining me guys. Yeah, no problem. Awesome. Thanks for having us. Yeah. So we're gonna talk a little bit about. The race. Do a little race recap, talk about who is in the race, the equipment strategy, technique, conditions, training the upcoming races in July.
And then also, how, how standup foiling compares with the wing foiling. And the first part of the video is a shorter recap of the race with some cool drone footage from several sources. So we got Lucas filming at the beginning for some. Water shots from Derek and also Jeff Chang.
And then Harold is the guy in that dingy who's, who filmed the whole race with his cell phone. So we got some cool footage of the whole race. In the second part of the video, we're gonna show a little bit more detail and go into like more detailed stuff about racing and winging and. Standup foiling and all that.
I tried to get Kane to Wild on to join us too, but I didn't hear back from him, unfortunately. So I'm trying to get this video up by tomorrow, Saturday, a week later after the race. Pretty exciting. So maybe you guys talk a little bit about the start, right?

Aloha friends, it's Robert Stehlik. Welcome to another episode of the Blue Planet Show, which I record right here in my home office and talking to wing foil athletes, designers, thought leaders, anyone who has something interesting to say. And today's interview is with Olivia Piana. She's an amazing world class athlete, not just in wing foiling and surf foiling and downward foiling, but also in standup paddle surfing, standup paddle racing, wind foiling, kiting and more.
She has several world titles in her name. She talks a little bit about the challenges of competing as a woman in these male dominated sports and her about her goals. And then this summer, the moca Oahu race is coming up. We talk about that she's entered to race in that one of the few women doing the downward foiling.
I'm entered in that race as well, so I'm looking forward to doing more interviews. Talking to athletes that are entered in this race before and after. So hope you can join me for some of those interviews. As always, you can watch it right here on YouTube or listen to it on your favorite podcast app. Just search for the Blue Planet Show.
So without further ado, here is Olivia Piana. Okay, Olivia, welcome to the Blue Planet Show. It's great to have you here. Thank you. Hello, Robert? Yeah, so it's you're in Portugal. I guess it's 7:00 PM for you, for me. It's eight o'clock in the morning and Hawaii. Yeah, thanks for joining me and from the other side of the world.
It's pretty cool that we can talk like this on Zoom, yeah. I've never talked to you before, so it's good to meet you virtually. But can you talk a little bit about like, how. Start from the very beginning. Where were you born? How did you get into water sports and what, how did you get into what you do today?
I was born in Marsai in south, south France. Then I grew up in ban a very small city in the beginning of the Alps. So I was an hour and a half away from the coast, from the Mediterranean Sea. And I, so I grew up on a very natural place with the mountains and I play many different sport.
When I was kid, I had the luck to have my parents that really gave me the opportunity to discover many things. And my mom is a windsurf fan. And when I was kid she brought me on the windsurf and yeah, I just totally fallen in love to a windsurf thing when I was 12 in in the Mediterranean Sea.
And I wanted to dedicate my life to it. It was my dream to be wind surf for pro and to compete around the world and to win titles. And I had my my like some champions that I really loved. And yeah, that's that's how I discovered the patient for the ocean, the wind and the wave and wind surfing is my first sport.
Okay. And then, so like you started at 12 years old and then you got into windsurf racing right away or like competing with windsurfing or, yeah, I started with windsurfing P dub race, slalom race. And so I went with my mom. My mom helped me on the competition and she really loved it too.
And I start to travel a bit more. I never compete a lot on the wave, even if I really loved the wind surfing on the wave. But I guess, racing is much more easy to compete than wave riding. And when I was from the Mediterranean Sea in France, it's not really wavy. So yeah I had more opportunity to race and to do slalom...

Thanks to Ruben Tapia (Kromentum on Instagram) who suggested the pen for foil repairs.
To order a low halogen marker pen:
blueplanetsurf.com/foil-repair-low-halogen-marker.html
The proper way to repair deep scratches or gouges on a foil is to use two part epoxy filler.
For smaller scratches, this is a much easier and faster way to repair your foil:
I'm using it to repair some scratches on my foil, the front wing and the tail wing. Basically, if you're foiling in Hawaii in the waves you're going to scratch your foil at some point. It's really hard to avoid scratching your foil unless you stay in the deep water all the time and never catch any waves.
The effects of small scratches on performance are very subtle, for most users I don't think it has a big effect on how well the foil performs, but of course for high speed performance, a smooth foil is better than a scratched up surface.
The pen is like a thick crayon that fills the cracks. You can apply it over all low spots that are kind of white and scratched up looking. After it dries, you can apply a second (or more) layers to make sure all the low spots are completely filled in. Once it is completely dry you go over it with some fine grit wet sandpaper, the paint is wet sanded off the surface so only the paint filling the scratches remains.
I’m happy to report that repairing scratches on your foil makes a noticeable difference in how smooth the foil performs, especially at high speeds, I definitely recommend giving it a try.
Aloha and see you on the water,
Robert Stehlik

For more information on Jimmy Lewis boards:
jimmylewis.com
from the website: ABOUT: JIMMY LEWIS
I’ve been shaping and building boards for over 50 years now. I started out shaping surfboards in 1968. I’ve shaped surfboards, windsurf boards, kiteboards stand up boards and now foilboards, there isn’t another shaper on earth who’s had the same success in all of these different sports that I’ve had. Not only do I shape, but I can build any of these boards from start to finish, doing all the steps in the construction process. I don’t have a staff of “designers” in charge of putting out new shapes for each season. I do all of the prototypes and plugs for production myself.
Many of my shapes are timeless. I don’t do “new” shapes each year for the sake of selling more boards. Some shapes in my line are not going to change. They will do what they’re made to do just as well today as they did when they were first introduced. Some shapes evolve but they don’t just disappear from the line because of the fact that I don’t do gimmick shapes just to get the publics attention and fool you into thinking I’ve got something that’s going to make everything else on the market obsolete.
My shaping style is to do functional designs, and that involves a flow and blend of all the curves and contours of the shape. Those being the outline, the rocker line, the deck line and thickness flow, the bottom shape, the deck shape and the rail shape. When all these curves blend and flow together you get the GOLDEN RATIO and I’ve been able to come up with that GOLDEN RATIO a lot more often than most other board makers.
All of these shape factors determine not only how a board goes through the water, whether it’s riding on a wave or cruising across a lake or plowing through choppy waters..
My boards , whether they are surf, kite, stand up or foil, fit on the water more naturally and with less effort of the rider than many other brands’ boards because of that GOLDEN RATIO that I get in each and every one of my shapes.
JIMMY LEWIS: HISTORY
I first started playing around with foam, fiberglass and resin when I was 11-12 years old and in the 6th grade. This was in 1962-63. My oldest brother, John, who was 14-15 years old at the time had just gotten into surfing. So naturally my other older brother Dave and myself got into it too. I don’t know why making surfboards interested me at that time but somehow or another, I can’t remember, I got a hold of a small piece of foam and some fiberglass and resin, most likely from the “hobby shop” as they were called back then, and made a little scale surfboard that was about 10” long. I cut out one of the top brands’ logos from one of John’s Surfer Magazines and put it on under the glass to make it more authentic looking. I made two of those since the first one turned out so well.
After high school I moved to Maui and for the next 10 years I was fully involved in making surfboards! I would shape, glass, sand, and finish each board I made as well and I did a lot of glassing for other shapers so I became equally proficient in doing all of the construction techniques that are required in board construction. Around 1978 a guy named Mike Waltze came by the shop I was working at on Maui to see if we could make him something called a “windsurfer.” So I shaped him a board that was about 12’ long and that was my introduction to making windsurfers.
Aloha and Mahalo,
Jimmy

Note: My biggest complaint about the eFoil board was the flexible carbon mast. I was informed that Waveshark now also offers a stiffer aluminum mast option.
Lucas Purcel shot this video and was getting some drone footage when it crashed into a tree and was lost in the water, so no drone footage, sorry.

Partial transcript:
Aloha Friends, it's Robert Stehlik. Welcome to the third season of the Blue Planet Show. I started this show a couple years ago in my home office, in the garage during the pandemic, just to get to know other wing foilers find out more what drives them, what inspires them. And as always, I like to find a little bit more about their background and just get to know them a little bit better and learn for my own benefit.
And I'm stoked to be able to share it with all of you. I get people coming up to me all the time saying I'll watch your shows all the way to the end. So I'm one of the 5% that watches the whole thing. So stoked to hear that. And I know many of you are also listening to it as a podcast while you're driving to the beach or going foiling and getting stoked or just listening to it while you can't go in the water because it's too cold, or you're traveling or whatnot.
Stoked. Always to hear that kind of stuff, super stoked. And today's guest is James Casey, who also has a great podcast. So if you haven't listened to that, it's all about downwind foiling. You should check it out. And he also has a coaching club that you can join to learn about downwind foiling.
He's an amazing athlete. He holds the record for the most kilometers foiled in one day. And a great coach for any of you who want to get into downwind foiling. And he also invented the sport of winging upwind and then deflating and foiling downwind. Really cool stuff that he's doing and pioneering also designing and testing equipment and so on.
Without further ado, here is James Casey. Okay, James Casey. Welcome to the Blue Planet Show. Yeah. Thanks so much for having me. I've watched a bunch of these shows and yeah, it's cool to be on here myself now. Yeah. And I've been listening to your shows while I'm driving and getting stoked and motivated to do more downwind foiling.
So thanks for doing that. A lot of really good information on your show. And I want to get into that, like Doman foiling, your Casey crew or the coaching crew, and then also the Moloka race, and then your announcement about joining Code foils and all kinds of stuff. Your record 213 kilometer record on a foil all that kind of stuff.
But before we get into all those things, let's talk a little bit about your background. Let's go into a little bit like where, where you were born, how you grew up, and how you got into water sports and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. So yeah, James Casey. I was born in Sydney, Australia, and it's basically the east coast.
And my mom and dad both surfed as a kid. They took me out surfing and like a boogie boarding first and then surfing. And I think I got my, I remember vividly actually gave you my first surfboard when I was like, probably a bit of a late starter compared to people nowadays, but I was like 10 or 11.
I got like this PCUs, four Finn, super nineties board, skinny nose, like super pointy, heaps of rocker. But that was my first board. This was just one of my dad's old boards that he didn't use anymore. Yeah, this is your board now. You can, you can take this here, this out. And yeah, pretty much surfed all through my teenage years.
I competed in like board riders, so I was I won the juniors movale board riders season sort of competition. But then I got 18, 19, I started getting worn in my rugby union. So I was playing a lot of rugby. Played for the, I guess the local club, the Ringer Rats, and was, I played a couple games in first grade, but I was basically just too small to be to be, following that dream as a, as an athlete in rugby.

At Blue Planet we have two options available if you want to try a board before buying it:
1) Try any of our rental boards at our rental deck in Haleiwa to make sure you get the best board for your needs, a two hour rental fee applies but we will credit this fee towards your purchase if you buy a board after demoing them.
2) The second program is basically a lease that lets you choose any new board on the racks in the shop, pY 25% of the new value, use it for two weeks, then either pay the remaining 75% balance and keep the board, or just return it to the shop and we will deal with re-selling the board at a discount. This is a great option for someone who wants a nice board to use during a 2 week vacation but does not want the hassle of trying to re-sell the board or transporting it back home.
If you want more information on how to choose the best board for your needs, also watch:
