Same problem : he says you need a big wide board, specific sail, expensive top end foil... and that is true for race winDfoil. But also this leads those who never tried winDfoil to think it's the only way : cumbersome, expensive, and for high end top riders. VS winGing that is still somewhat easier. No doubt this will keep winDfoil a niche sport.
Though, as some have seen the potential with foilStyle windsurfing, and used gear being available (a lot of race gear, but also some more freeride stuff), I have seen some new winDfoil riders at my spot (very few though).
The only problem is that most informations available on winDfoiling only talks of racy gear, and if not, there's a lot of 'not very good advises'.
