can you get out through serious whitewater on them?
Yup no problem - might be less susceptible to the loss of lift when you hit white water

Re: Seat harness for Hydrofoiling. Which are you using and why?

great topic - I found out I had a hiatus hernia recently and figured having a hook in my sternum wasn't the best idea - it might have added to the general irritation. SO I went with the Dakine nitrous HD shorts. as with when I tried boots to save my ankles - only to find it just made my knees hurt m...

big big wings

SO - I forgot an Allen key yesterday and it was either go home and get one or just stick my sup foil on a kite board and go ride. Now this foil is 1900 odd cm^2 - which you would think is ridiculous for a kite board....... but it wasn't. If like me you like riding swells and surfing stuff no-one els...

Re: Surf Foils for Kiteboarding?

up date - since I got the naish large - its pretty similar to the Shinn max K - really enjoying both - but I want to go bigger still and ditch the kite - Toby would a kite less forum be an oxymoron on kite forum ?

Re: 2018 Naish Thrust Surf Foil

anyone know if the wings are compatible 2019 and 2018?

I ride the Shinn mega K and the naish xl - and I want to go even bigger - btw these foils are great fun for kiting - esp when teamed up with the 12m ultra.

Re: Surf Foils for Kiteboarding?

Great thread guys - I am currently riding the Shinn mega k all the time - I have 4 foils and have most fun carving this one around on small waves. Does anyone have an opinion on the naish large? It would be great to be able to compare the lifts of all these foils available -I guess even dimensions w...

I assumed the slots would be in the right place - but even with the back strap fully forward and the foil fully back - the foil is way in front of the foot position! also its F***N hea...

WA - Margaret river first week in April

Any tips or opinions gratefully received. I do plan to take the foil so lighter winds might not be an issue.
