Awesome, smashing past all the old school crew, looks like fun, foils have made windsurfing waaay more efficient and exciting compared to the people mowing the lawn that you usually see, thanks for posting.

Maybe you didn't notice over half the "old school crew" are still teenagers. I've never even seen that many teenage kiters in one spot before.

^^^^Wasn't talking about their age, just what they were floating around on.

You can't just decide to race a foil without learning some skills beforehand, they may well decide race foils down the track, if foils get selected for the Olympics then that will increase the amount of foils racing massively. We will find out later this year, in the meantime the old school gear still makes for good racing.

I do get your point though, the foil is super fast around the course.

BTW the advanced "new school foil" rider just won the "old School" Raceboard Nationals a few weeks ago.

What sail size was that?

If you weren't such an arrogant d*ckhead, your tiny brain may be able to comprehend that just because you have a one-track mind doesn't mean that other people do as well. Plenty of people who are obviously much smarter than you like many other ways of having fun afloat. Maybe you should get over your self-worshipping arrogance and respect other people enough to let them sail what suits them, without childish bitching from a moron like you.

You have no right to decide that you are judge and jury about what other people should sail. Get over yourself.

Sure, but in that case he should be able to take what he gives out. He's spent years here abusing other people so unless he's a hypocrite he should just deal with it when someone snaps back.

I get the feeling he's actually the sort of person who bullies people but tries to pretend it's all in fun when they call him on it. Basically all he says is "unless you sail what I sail, your gear is crap". That's not exactly original or funny, so why does he keep on rolling out the same tired old schtick unless he actually believes it?

PS - it's not just me who is sick of him either - plenty of other people have told him he's a boring d*ck.

Awesome video.
Majority of people on the forum have positive opinions

Bah, get him to put his money where his mouth is n LINE EM UP. Show his skills in a lotofwind.

Much as I love the LT, I can see how much fun that foiler would be. Hell, I did the multi-rig multi-board thing myself for years and still do.

Sure, the sport may be more popular when we emphasise the simplicity of it, but can't we also support the high-tech high-speed end of it as well?

Banging corners after a while gets pretty boring, do those things stay on foils when tacking
