I just had a foil 2 days ago after a 7 week layoff. Straight line foiling felt surprisingly good with only 1 or 2 foil breaches/crashes. Gybes (on water) were pretty patchy but getting better towards the end of the session. Maybe 30% success rate. I have plateaued a bit now with my learning and need...

I've learnt to foil on a SS Hover Glide and it has been great. The short mast options offer a real benefit for learning too.

That's a sexy combo. Enjoy your new steed.

Shipping is $70 to here, but my Axis foil just arrived.

Plus 1 for the Dwarfcraft 54". I've found it great to learn on strapless due to the full deck grip. The slight concave in the deck feels secure and great for control. It feels compact when up and riding but it has the volume needed for easy learning. I feel as though this board will keep me happy as...

Generally it's only me at my most frequent haunt, but occasionally there has been 2 - 3 others out. There are quite a few racers (10-15) who go out at different spots to me. I can often see them training with their foil kites about 1km away but our paths rarely cross. I'm still learning so I stick ...

I'd try either 24-7 boardsports as they are just opposite IOW (they used to stock Zeeko foils although not currently showing on their website) or Blast Kiteboarding as they show Zeeko foils still on their website.

Thanks for the heads up. That's great.
