Watch this amazing video of foil windsurfing on location in Caribbean.

Amazing underwater photography! Look,s easy but it is not. Josh stone ledgenary maui sailor use to do it a few years ago but i don't think it took off.

how does he maintain his fore and aft trim without a wand and how does he turn it lol.

foiling revitalised the moth class but moths have rudders. I think I prefer old school planing but I think my knees would prefer to foil lol.

Beautiful vid.. They've been doing this for years and I've seen some great footage of them jibeing and turning without a problem.. I can't see a tack happening..

But that's gotta be nasty if that foil touches the bottom in shallow water at speed.. Even sand.. Far worse that touching your fin.. I can see a nice little over the bars or cartwheel thing happening..

Interesting the big hole in the bow of the board. Toilet seat?

Its difficult to film down there but can be spectacular.

"The AFS-1 board This board has a « window-opening » in the nose. This will allow researching a maximum foiling speed without letting the wind put you out of balance during the flight. "
