He paddles up before it breaks - which is my point that SUP is good in micro surf, don’t need broken wave to chip in like prone.
Once on foil you only need 40-50cm of water which is plenty

Several points to be made:
- General wave theory tells us that waves tend to break when they approach 1.3 times their height. Any experienced surfer will tell you that this depends a lot on other factors. Some reefs are shallower (way shallower) while others might sit deeper.
- Those waves are not at all that small. Any average beachbreak with that size will have enough depth to be foiling comfortably.
- It appears the whitewater is dissipating, probably meaning an increase in depth after the wave has broken. Even if the depth wasn’t enough to foil at the peak, it increased afterwards.

This video is on my Bookmarks bar so I can click on it whenever I want. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve watched it. If I could emulate anyone’s style it would be Pedigo’s.

Haha! Same. Have two videos bookmarked that I watch all the time trying to break down and copy elements. First is that Pedigo 10min run, second is this Kane SUP clip. So good.

Like Matt said earlier, perfect example of why learning to SUP is a great idea! Super fun in surf.
