One local in Largo is gliding across the water on an electric surfboard every single day, and we are totally inspired.
If you live in Pinellas County, you already know that our waterways aren't just for pontoon boats and kayaks. Every once in a while, you spot someone out on the water who makes you pause, reevaluate your entire life trajectory, and ask yourself why you aren't currently levitating over the bayous.
That exact energy was caught on camera recently over in Largo, where one local legend was spotted hovering effortlessly across the water. As the host put it, he is "100% living your best life."
Flying Above the Water at Whitesell
The clip catches this local cruiser gliding across the surface like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. If you've seen these around the Suncoast lately, you know they look almost magical.
"Now, I've heard these things are called hydrofoils or electric surfboards," the video host explained. "There's another There's another name for them, too. I don't know exactly what it's called."
Whether you call them e-foils, hydrofoil boards, or magic flying water crafts, one thing is for sure: this guy has mastered the art of cruising. Spotted around the Whitesell area in Largo, he wasn't just riding — he was floating along with effortless cool, completely in his element.
A Friendly Wave and Daily Motivation
What makes Pinellas County water culture so elite isn't just the wild gear people bring out — it's the attitude. As the camera zoomed in, the rider didn't just zip past; he took a moment to acknowledge his audience.
"Look at that. He's giving the wave, man. Dude, this guy is awesome," the host cheered.
It turns out this isn't just a one-time joyride either. Word on the water is that this guy has turned hover-surfing into his daily routine. "Uh this is in Largo at Whitesell, I believe. I guess he's out there like like every day doing this."
Honestly, isn't that the whole point of living in the Sunshine State? While the rest of the country is sitting in traffic or staring at spreadsheet screens, Largo's favorite hydrofoil rider is out on the water, throwing up waves to onlookers, and soaking in the Florida sunshine day in and day out.
