Foiling in waves

Sorry I'm not a Techy so I can't supply the link but if you google " Ketos Foil Wave Garden" it should give you a link to Strapless kitesurfing page with some guys riding some decent waves in the south of France !

Great effort. That's the best wave foiling vid i have seen thus far. How many years of progression to get to that level of skill. I've just started, but foiling the waves is my end game.

I wander what kites they're using as it looks pretty windy.
Also does anyone know whereabouts in the South of France this is ?

I don't know, but would guess it is 5 or 6m2 - the most used sizes in this :naughty:
Much like our conditions here :D

Saintes Maries de la Mer, mediterranen side.

This would hardly be be called a 'decent wave day' on the Atlantic side.
I mean it for the quality of the swell, not for the skill of the riders, with one of our best, Marc Blanc among them.
