Like this, just with a kite also, a dry hair and dry feet kitefoil session could be carried out

I bet there are already those that can air start. Withington et al.
Our launches are a hop in with a bit of a drag out, so you start wet. Would love to develop enough skill to hop start and stay dry, but for now am starting with a swim.
Have tried tossing the board down then trying to land on it and go but haven't ridden away dry yet.
As to dry hair.... Have had a few session where my wetsuit has dried after swim start. Always a bitch having to hop in and get fully wet just to exit.

Depends how hard you push yourself through the ride.
