I may or may not look like a kook. I sort of cultivate the kook look in terms of sun protection and comfort and all that stuff.
I don’t own one but the boards look gigantic. Based on the fone site I would need a 180cm board. That’s a pain to get in my car.
Windsurfers will be in for a surprise. It is seriously not windsurfing. It is only vaguely like wind and kite surfing.cdbxyz wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 9:10 amIt just looks so uncomfortable and awkward. Like a terrible evolution of windsurfing where everyone looks like a beginner in poo stance.

Does look like a good workout though!
