I hear and read a lot about racing foils and which are the fastest. I'm interested in input on just straight line speed.
I do a fair amount of speed skiing and like riding really fast on kiteboards, but actual find I cannot go into "overdrive" on a foil board when the big gusts hit.
I've only been foiling for 1 year and know riding faster will come with experience, but is it just not possible to "bury the accelerator" when the winds kick in?
It would seem that a properly tuned foil board could actually compete for speed records with the right pilot.
I also know crashes at speed are crazy.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Bob
