Come out and try a foil board. It's a feeling like no other.

Foil Board Training
Nice John, i've been fiending for an off season dose. This may be just what I need. I never got the feel with my few attempts with the kite. A few pulls behind the boat should do the trick. I'm down to go out whenever.

Re: Foil Board Training
Yeah Jsin,
Towing behind the boat is the way to go! So much easier when you don't have manage a kite simultaneously. There guy at the end of the video has never kited (only surf/snowboard background) and he was getting some good steady lifts toward the end. We'll get there out for sure, I'll get a hold of you.

Re: Foil Board Training
It took me a year to become efficient at this & now it is the greatest thing since first taking up kiteboarding .
I now love the 12m kite 10 to 12 mph to get started ,all the way up to 7m for 25 to 35 mph winds .
& it just stays smooth sailing ...
RIde a Carafino foil & it great to learn on ,with a board top speed of 22 MPH, now looking for a foil that will go faster ..only ones I can find are in Europe currently & they say top speed of 50MPH ,which scary to me ,but want to try a faster board .

Re: Foil Board Training
How much for a foil board? Can you find any second hand? Looks cool.
