First time foiling today. Loved it!

After 20mins and one walk of shame failing to get anywhere, I scored my first short run on the foil and was hooked! 2 hours later, and I was getting pretty consistent 100m on the foil including slowly going downwind (up-wind was easy). I think I spent most of the time in the water, but I'm now checking forecasts for anything more than 10knots. Fair to say I'm hooked!

If anyone is thinking of trying it - do it!

Gear was Shinn Jackson (130) with Airush Core Foil (1000cm front wing) and 9m Airush Ultra - Highly recommended!

Went to Leighton (WA).

Well that answers the question if people can learn on a big wing or not.

Nice one!

It's the new fpr gear windfoil.
No board necessary.

Ps. I know ral inn gets it but If you haven't checked in on the windfoil 2018 thread you might not get it
