It was about 'Foilsurfing'

I saw some foil surfing when I lived in California, and I have recently wondered if you could combine it with a kite...?

Check out this page....www.hydrofoilsurfing.com/

It would appear you can...

haha imagine running into a sand bank with that keel! or watching your mate boost a massive jump only to get wacked in the head with the steel keel. nature instigates design and that thing just does not look natural.

I reckon put it in the motorised wave ski, flow board, and mono ski basket!

David, I am sure people thought the same when "flysurfing" first started. While it will probably remain a rare novelty in kiteboarding relms (Cant see me ever getting into it) it does open up many opportunities in big wave surfing, breaks that are too cut up and windblown for regular boards will be ridden on a foilboard (eventually). And the drag ur ass behind a boat scene will begin to embrace them too (not to the degree of wakeboarding obviously). Remember that "Airchairs" have been round for years and are relatively popular, limited only by their high entry price.
