Cool vid, what was the experiment for?
I don't get why strapping a sup board to the already setup kite board when towing? Just using the kite board like at the end of the vid is perfect.
Ive done a tiny bit of foiling behind a ski boat using a kiteboard foil set up and its awesome fun. But even better fun but alot harder is the foil chair. I managed to get up and jump wake to wake but sketchy. Buddy who was teaching me was doing double back and double front flips in his array of tricks on the foil chair. So smooth so cool to watch the air they get is like nothing else.
Funny you should mention the foil chair.
I was talking to a kiting mate during the week and the subject of foiling came up.
I said I was surprised he wasn't into it because he always seems to be at the forefront of any new ideas. (he was one of the original kitesurfers in Oz)
"Was doing that years ago" he said, I should have known.
Anyway I have now got an old foil off one of the original air chairs to play with until I can get my hands on a new carbon one
It's alloy so pretty heavy and I am not sure how much lift it will give but hey as they say you never know.........
