I used to windsurf (or sail board) but after a trip to the Maldives, I tried wing foiling. It's an interesting activity whereby instead of a fin, you have a hydrofoil (2) underneath and its purpose is to elevate the board above the water. Propulsion is from either a small motor or a wing (not a sail as in windsurfing or a kite as in kitesurfing). It is inflatable and attached to you via a leash.
What a learning curve! I have managed 3 extremely short flights before crashing. To say it's difficult is an understatement. However, I am a glutton for punishment so I am continuing It is a very good work out!
Apologies to those who have already responded, but I need to 'chase up' the rest!
I need, please, an indication from you all that you will be happy to pay your 'subs' again this year so that I can fix the amount.
NB
1) I do NOT need money at this moment. Paying before I have calculated the required amount will complicate things!!
2) Some of you have already responded, so thanks.
3) If you can also say which payment method you prefer that would be good.
Please respond by PM, and the tally plus info is kept at the 'Members only' thread at viewtopic.php?f=23&t=8718

Not necessarily a foil, but at least with a board, kite or wing.

Re: Wing foiling
I started on a windsurf board to learn basic wing handling.
Re: Wing foiling
I do strongly advise lessons. It will shorten the learning curve and get you going. Then, as I am finding out, time on/in water.
