The Inertia

When it comes to riding a foil, there aren’t too many who make it look as easy as Adam Bennetts. Known as Mister Bennetts on his YouTube channel, the guy does it better than anyone else.

Like (probably) all foilers, Bennetts grew up surfing. He got into it after a stint living in Bali as a professional surfer, and he saw a few videos that his brother posted online. At the time, he thought it looked kind of boring. “I was living in Bali,” he told The Foiling Magazine. “Getting barreled, surfing pumping waves most days.”

But then things changed. Bennetts thought that he’d give the foil a try when he returned to his native Australia. And as soon as he did, he charted a new course for his life. Now, he’s one of the best — if not the best — in the world on a board with a mast on the bottom. Need proof? Just hit play on the video above.
