The NEW Jimmy Lewis Surfboard Foil (shaped & designed by his son Marlon....Foilboard extraordinaire) will be arriving in October....Just got the new graphics & lengths will be 5'4, 5'10 & 6'2....Taking orders now as there will be limited numbers in the first shipment....More info to come...
When I was in Hawaii every man & his dog were calling up Marlon for his foil boards (even pro-riders from other companies)

hmmm, no leash. is the idea that it's better to get away from the foil after a wipeout? but then, what about others in the path?

No I always wear a leash....Marlon doesn't but only if there's no one else out....Not that he ever falls :)

At the speeds reached by the foil, the drag of the leash becomes significant and can be annoying by the jerks on the leg as it bounces off/in the water. It deters from the flying experience.

On a SUP, you are forward enough and do not move around much on takeoff so that there are many solutions that work (waist leash, leash tucked in shorts or under the cuff, ...). On a surf, not so much.
