After 20mins and one walk of shame failing to get anywhere, I scored my first short run on the foil and was hooked! 2 hours later, and I was getting pretty consistent 100m on the foil including slowly going downwind (up-wind was easy). I think I spent most of the time in the water, but I'm now checking forecasts for anything more than 10knots. Fair to say I'm hooked!
If anyone is thinking of trying it - do it!
Gear was Shinn Jackson (130) with Airush Core Foil (1000cm front wing) and 9m Airush Ultra - Highly recommended!
