i thought the best feature in kiting was the ability to go in shallow water?

Apart from looking completely stupid this is pretty cool.

I tried in the slight wind, not obvious at all. As more water is a big key was gliding sensation. pretty great. I am only debutant in foil and windsurfer. I miss the mast and boom to equilibrate

wrong forum but just to bring some nice pics....



I sail with that guy, the ability of those boards to go fast upwind is just unreal, simply check how he distances the other kiters after the buoy...

No Benjamin is more often on his windfoil atm

Here's some more of these weird contraptions. They say when you stack it, it's like falling off a ladder at 30kph and then having the ladder run you over.

The rider there, Johhny Heineken, is more or less world No 1 racer. I think he disappeared for a month or so and swallowed a lot of seawater in secret, to reappear and pull tacks and jibes like that vid (of him training tacks/jibes). He was immediately +20-30% faster than the rest of the field & they are scrambling to catch up. Those foils are now the hottest thing in kite racing and have a 3k price tag and a long & growing wait time. (so I heard...)
