Man looks like a lot of fun, tricky tacking though through the transitions?

Kinda want one..... talked to Damo about foils at the expo and he believes they are here to stay and will take kiteboarding into the future, also can kite in light wind and point much higher and only needing 4-6 mph with a 9-11m kite. That sounds like allot of fun for the weedfree lakes that have a launch capable. We also talked to the Lift foil board makers out of PR, they will take you out if flying through San Jaun and help get you riding, understand the first days are pretty brutal on the body. The foil on the lift boards hardly weigh a thing so its nothign like the skyski/airchairs you see behind the boat. Jason can add some first hand knowledge to the foilboard subject...

These foils are sick, I saw damo ride one of these babies in 8mph with a 12m and he was rippin'. It was last fall down in Fort Walton...pretty cool stuff.
