Naish Windsurf Foil / Board

[Scott]

Just got a free copy of windsurfer magazine (thanks Doug) and it features hydrofoiling windsurfing style. Great article and I am excited about this new sport! First impressions looks like fun, very expensive, worried about weeds, and for sailors in western NY; lighter wind often means more boat traffic. Last year I was nearly taken out by a boat on Seneca that didn’t give right of way. I expect SUP folks know what paddling in traffic is like, expect I’d adapt, we always do. I do think this is the way to extend my windsurfing experience as I get older and my joints that have been beaten up by youthful over exuberance become arthritic and painful. I’m ready! Can I borrow yours!

I had caught this vid by Robby, but had not dug deeper on why his foil is so different.  Thanks for the enlightenment.  I bookmarked it in my brain in case I ever get a shot on one of these.  Maybe let Ken Altfather at Baycreak know that the Naish set up is curiously different and perhaps more atrtractive?

Thanks for posting it Freaky G.  Maybe we sail together this year??  Maybe?  The late fall Seneca nukers have been missing.
