Equipped with hydrofoils, San Francisco Bay water sports enthusiasts chase container ships' wakes for an exciting ride.
Hydrofoil boards lift above water, reducing drag, allowing foilers to glide smoothly using wings to convert wind into momentum.
San Francisco architect Steve Bodner praises foiling for simplicity compared to other water sports like sailing, with fewer equipment requirements.
Bodner describes a ship's wake as an endless wave, noting it's safe as only a few foilers pursue this thrill without reported injuries.
