The idea of foiling did not appeal to me much in the past but got inspired by watching some cool boosting sessions vids. Then the concept of kiting in low wind - anything below 14kn is not useable for my quiver and level of skill. Why not to try it I thought, took me 3 sessions to switch from tt to strapless surf board, foiling must be similar....
Nothing further from the truth in my case. Total frustration, went twice one hour at the time, could not ride 5m on the board without even attempting to try foiling. End up downwid very quickly and the fu@&$ing gizmo is heavy to carry back - not a flat tt with a soft handle. Each time said to myself, the hell with it, I am wasting beautiful wind, I could be riding fast and boosting high!
Need some inspiration to keep on trying - please tell me your lack of progress frustration stories so I dont feel like the only looser on this planet that can't do it :-)
Honestly, how long before you could ride the bloody thing without even foiling, and how long before you get your first 100m?
How long when 100m becomes 1000m?
This thread is only for those with VERY slow progress - if it took you 2 hrs to foil your first 100m I don't want to know about it :-)
Just lost my job - finishing at Christmas, plan to devote the whole summer only to kiting
