Airs on the wind wing are not really for me and i can maybe already see where this is headed. IMO it does look kinda silly jumping with a foil as it just has nothing really graceful about it but i feel the same when i see a kite jumping with a foil as it just does not look right and would much rather see the foil used for big flow turns and laid back feel for what foiling really has to offer.
Not against airs and its cool to see crew pushing it as that will only help set new limits and open new ideas into the future but i will be interested to see where this side goes into the next year or so. I would probably give a few a bash if i had a ACL but without it there is no chance my foil will be leaving the water.
To each his own...kite jumps impress me but i do not like them, too much like a trapeze act for my taste.
IMHO no sport will come closer to air mojo perfection than Christian Hosoi skateboarding a big halfpipe back in the day, style to burn :)
Anyway,as others have said, wingything is going to get burlier and very technical as the kite/wind foil younger crowd gets sucked in and the gear evolves.
I am 48, no ACL either, so i will be happy to just glide back and forth,learn some transitions,maybe a little chophop when i feel ready.
But the kids will play, testosterone is kind of unstopabble :)
