IMHO, the 'industry' is stalling on the windFoil gear because brand (and most rider as well) completly missed the easy going style opportunity. They focused on high end performance.
Uhm, remember the time where almost any freeride windsurf board suddenly had a "foil approved" box? The brands did see the opportunity I think, but not sure if the market interest was there.
Apart from the fact that it might not make much sense to stick a foil in a normal windsurfing board, the brands pushed hard.
True, but that was before they realized there was way more profit[/b] in selling everyone a foil, a dedicated board, and a quiver of (fragile) wings-rather than just selling a foil to use with the boards and sails we already owned...
