As the country sat back gobsmacked at Team New Zealand's ability to get up on the foils and crush Oracle in the 2017 America's Cup, surfers nationwide are getting up on their own foils.
Foiling surfboards are now a thing and it's taking the country by storm.
Incredible footage has been captured by AZP Photography of keen surfers foiling along the coastline of Pauanui.
"Hey guys here's another video of the foiling guys doing their thing in Pauanui this time! Awesome to see so many foils in the water," they wrote on Facebook.
Surfers and paddlers are seen catching waves above the waterline with a paddle in hand to help steer, change directions, propel themselves forward or slow themselves down.
