Surely everyone's seen the video of the wingfoiler getting bombed by a whale. Someone should post a link to it on this thread, I thought I'd find it on the wingnut forum but nothing over there.

It is still "technically" windsurfing.
Same Kiteboarding.
I bet the thrusting is much harder and more enjoyable when you wingbeat on a foil board.
Compared to the delay and elasticity when kiteboarding

Whales are intelligent creatures and understand that wing foiling is one step closer to the dark side of the force.

Pretty cool. But not as cool as being hit by a dolphin

Foils go upwind easier, work in lighter wind seem to go faster, but we should ban them because of climate change and whales.

The dude that got hit by a dolphin was pretty cool.
You should see if you can get his autograph hilly.
Been a while. Wonder if you can track him down. You know him well don't ya....
That went viral everywhere. I hope the victim made some coin out of that vicious dolphin assault.
