We got some GoFoils at Blue Planet and set up a SUP with a tuttle box. We tried it behind a jet ski on Sunday and I paddled it into a few waves yesterday and was able to foil a bit. It's super fun and I'm so excited about this sport but everyone should realize that it can be quite dangerous and humbling to learn how to foil.
Here is a video and some photos of the setup:

Yes, it's very challenging but that's part of the fun I guess.

Does any one know if anyone has the go foil or the starboard go foils in stock in Australia yet?

Yup, I guess a kayak helmet with a face grid is a safe investment...
