I don't get that? Why isn't it practical with a wind foil? I haven't tried either ... but I'm assuming if you're on a really big wing riding toeside or switching stance, is relatively easy?joekitetime wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2019 4:37 pmA possible advantage (and big one for me) is riding toeside with a wind wing when it isn't practical with a wind foil (dang its hard to keep these terms straight).
It will be interesting to hear how it goes for you, given your experience in the related areas. One thing I am fairly certain of: even if you find it really fun, video of yourself will look lame and your performance is unlikely to convince many of the other general opinion on the beach people. (unless you happen to be one of those super freaks who make everything look WOW). Foiling in general and SUP foiling in particular, seems to be one of those things that looks slow and boring, but is a lot more exciting when it's you doing it. Maybe it's from being a few feet above the water surface, tricks your brain into thinking you're in danger or something.joekitetime wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2019 3:54 pmRecently (well, yesterday) I posted a "how lame is that" blurb regarding the wind wing thing. It has been my opinion and general opinion on the beach. However, I do keep hearing folks go on and on about how "fun" it is.
