Austin Kalama has taken fishing to an entirely new level—literally. Combining his passions for hydrofoiling and fishing, he pioneered a thrilling new sport: wing fishing.

In his viral video, Austin demonstrates his innovative setup, skimming a mile offshore on his hydrofoil board while dragging a lure through Maui’s deep waters. Then comes the real test: a monstrous 30-pound Giant Trevally strikes, and the battle is on. Balancing on the hydrofoil with the ocean’s force beneath him, Austin fights to reel in the powerful fish, an intense clash between human skill and nature’s raw strength.

I invented a new sport called wing fishing. I combined my two favorite things hydrofoiling and fishing to drag a lure a mile off shore on Maui Hawaii. In the video you see me explaining my set up and fighting a 30 pound Giant Trevally a mile offshore.
