so you check the stevie kite cam and you see kiters out, you race down and find it light wind! damnit! dangler tells me he was "foiled" when he saw me and joe out riding he came down and realized we were riding foilboards! so when you check the cam, make sure you see a roostertail on the water or you better bring a big kite LOL
wind was in the low teens and we rode 10m kites with these foils and were able to ride upwind. pretty impressive ride gliding above the mini chop.
anyhow if you're wanting to experience the foil, I'm game. these are in development and I can't really loan them out, but if you happen to see me on the water, I am happy to switch boards with you and stay upwind of you and coach you on how to get up riding. they can be fun, some people figure them out right away and others take a bit longer, but the wing I currently have is so easy to ride.
anyhow just throwing that out there, and no the foil boards are not for sale. yet.

Was fun to watch. I tried to go on a 12m and a fat surfboard and could only stay upwind on the OR side. Impressive light wind performance. |
