Surfer Chuck Patterson rides his foil board on a morning swell off the coast of Del Mar, California on May 23, 2018. Harnessing the “foiling” technology more typically seen on racing catamarans in sailing's America's Cup, the surfboards appear to fly above the water thanks to a fin attached to the bottom of the board.

Surfers carry their foil boards down to the beach before riding the swells off the coast of Solana Beach, California on May 23, 2018. The foil is like a wing that extends into the water under the surfboard. Acting much like a wing of plane, it causes the board to lift out of the water as it gains speed, propelled by an ocean swell.
