When you think of the coolest, most stylish kiteboarders in kiteboarding. The legends. The greats. The ones with magazine covers, interviews and highlights reels on brand videos. The guys and girls with signature model boards and kites and bindings. You don't think of hydrofoils.

But low-and-behold, here's two of them out there on an exploration session in Antigua, sporting helmets and sunscreen and wait for it; footstraps! Yep, that's right, they're hydrofoiling and totally stoked on it, talking about how incredible it is to ride upwind so easily to explore the islands. Marveling at the birds, and the reef, shouting and smiling at each other - talking effortlessly into the camera thanks to the silence a kiteboarding hydrofoil provides.

Bet you can't guess who they are?
