North Sails team rider Noé Cantaloube takes wing foiling, prone surf foiling, and dock starting back to the heavy reef passes of Tahiti and Bora Bora after three years away from home. After leaving French Polynesia to study in France—and eating nothing but pasta for a year just to afford his first carbon hydrofoil mast—Noé returns as a professional waterman to charge overhead Polynesian barrels and reconnect with his family. Subscribe to @North_Sails for more elite hydrofoil progression, aerodynamic innovation, and ocean adventure films. --- Growing up between French Polynesia and Réunion Island, Noé Cantaloube’s life has always been dictated by wind, swell, and reef passes. Filmed alongside close friend and videographer Eric Wittkopf, Homecoming documents Noé’s emotional return to Tahiti and Bora Bora—this time armed with a complete quiver of North hydrofoils, wings, and boards. From dodging shallow coral heads on the North Sonar UHM80 carbon mast and Foil Drive Assist MAX to boosting high-wind aerials with the North Nova and Mode Pro wings, Noé adapts his setup to whatever the Pacific Ocean delivers. Between heavy outer-reef sessions, the edit captures the raw rhythm of island life: dock starting off rocks and channel buoys at Vaipoopoo, swimming alongside humpback whales and manta rays, horse-towed wake skimming across Bora Bora's flats, and reuniting with the family who raised him. Whether you are trimming a grand prix yacht across an offshore swell or banking a high-aspect carbon hydrofoil into a breaking Tahitian reef pass, mastery on the water comes down to apparent wind management and hydrodynamic efficiency. The same load-bearing composite engineering and low-drag foil section research that power North Sails' fastest racing yachts are built directly into the North Sonar carbon foil system and our handheld inflatable wings—giving riders like Noé instant lift, rock-solid pitch stability in turbulent whitewater, and uncompromising structural stiffness when the consequences over the reef are real. --- CHAPTERS: 0:00 – Wingfoiling Heavy Reef Passes & Humpback Whales in French Polynesia 0:25 – Growing Up Between French Polynesia & Réunion Island 1:20 – Landing in Tahiti: Family Reunion & The "Pasta Diet" Carbon Mast Story 2:06 – Rigging the North Sonar UHM80 Carbon Mast & Foil Drive Assist 2:32 – Beach Log & Vaipoopoo Buoy Dock Starts in Tahiti 3:52 – Prone Foiling, Foil Assist & Wingfoiling Heavy Tahitian Reef Swell 5:09 – Crossing to Bora Bora: Sailing with Uncle Pascal & Family Life 7:01 – Horse-Towed Skimming & Bora Bora Lagoon Wingfoiling 8:46 – Manta Rays, Sunset Buoy Pumping & Reflections on Coming Home 9:20 – Post-Credits Blooper: "North, Send Me a Bigger Foil!

Competition day arrives at Club North FeelViana, and Jazz has to face the kite alone in Round 1 just days after a heavy high-wind crash. With £5,000 and a trip to Red Bull King of the Air on the line, can she conquer her fear and pass the rigging test, or will her injury force a shock exit from Wings & Waves Season 2? --- Training is officially over for our four creators in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, as the scored rounds of the Wings & Waves Season 2 kiteboarding challenge begin. Whether you are trimming sails offshore or launching a kite on the beach, wind awareness, line preparation, and safety checks are everything—and today, the judges are putting those fundamentals to the test. In Round 1, the creators are scored out of five points on solo kite rigging: pumping and positioning the kite in the wind, unwinding the bar and separating the lines, connecting the lines with clean knots, hooking into the chicken loop and safety leash in the correct launch position, and overall confidence. Stepping up first on her own, Jazz battles strong wind, twisted lines, and the lingering trauma of her earlier launch accident. Once the adrenaline fades before Round 2 on the water, a painful rib and hip injury forces an urgent consultation with the physio—leading to an emotional turning point for the entire group. 💬 Join the Conversation: What was the hardest part of rigging or launching to master when you first learned to kiteboard or sail, and how did you bounce back after your first big wipeout?
