We have wind, you don't need a foil
a foil can do pretty much everything a surfboard or twin tip can do.....only much better.
Favourite quote of the day.

Haha ! What is better ? More fun ? More skill required ? More equipment ?
I love human elitist nature, used to be windsurfing vs kiteboarding. Now foiling is better than kitesurfing that is better than kiteboarding that is better than windsurfing that is better than surfing that is better than SUP’ing that is better than kayaking that is better than canoeing that is better than relaxing that is better than working.

Toby should invest some of millions of $$'s he's making off this forum and dig his own lagoon. Add some bleachers and he could sell tickets to the world renowned "air style circus" !

That's the master plan.
But don't forget, with foil its the best ! Looking forward to see all my tricks done with a foil.
Will love the kickflips into face
Deliver before talking!

Hey! what about the spots south of Fortaleza?
very little is said about these places compared to the ones in the north of Fortaleza.
But probably somewhere in Canoa Quebrada, or Cascavel, etc could be nice with some SOLID light winds?
Please share your feedbacks thanks

There is good foiling in ocean south east of Fortaleza. Basically the whole coast until Canoa as far as I know. look for river mouths and you'll be able to foil to them and find nice easy waves have sand banks. No one else will be able to follow if they don't have a Hydrofoil. I was alone at River mouth SE of parajuru for 2 weeks last 2 years in late October. Have to skip trip this year.
I was on Hyperlink 9 and 7m kite and Moses 633. I kited 5 hours on water every day.
I launch at parajuru kite center, do 4-5 tacks upwind 2km then have Wave park to myself up there. Then kite down wind back to center. People working at the center and others plowing on TT and Surfboardd ask, where did you go??? I told them, and they still haven't caught on to it.
