Hi yall,
A friend of mine flies foilkites especially his 12m flysurfer soul and does insane jumps on it (15m) in only 18-23 knots. However he stricly sticks to flatwater/shallow spots which get insanely crowded in the spring/autumn times with beginners.
He refuses to go out into the ocean/north sea with it because of safety issues (kite bowties for example and cant relaunch) swimming 100 yards in those conditions is very different/difficult then doing it in a closed off body of water. So im curious how/where most of you guys fly, and if you share his opinion of not using a kitefoil in ocean/sea conditions
