hmmmm final year at uni, probably makes you around 21-22ish...Gen Y......
Geny Y the hell do I have to do it when someone else can do it for me [}:)]
NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
well from your profile it says you're gen X, (even though from your pictures and lack of hair I wouldn't be surprised if you'd lied about your age and are actually a baby boomer) so every sentence starts with 'back in my day' or 'the youth today..'
why is it so unconceivable that a forum full of windsurfers might have more ideas as to how to improve the sport and equipment than someone who doesn't windsurf. I bet you'd be more than happy to buy or use something I designed if by some miracle it gave you a smoother or faster ride - irrelevant on whose idea it was
I agree - Gen"Y the hell do I have to do it myself"
Seriously you are a 3rd year uni student and you have to come here for ideas.???

OK you want to do a project about foils and combine your love of kiting with an engineering concept.
Blah blah blah...
GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN!!!
The original post said , very clearly:
...but I can't really just make it - I need a purpose or aim for it.
Anyone have any ideas??
Basically Im trying to find a way I can go surfing or kiting for uni
Poster wasn't asking anyone to make it nor design it nor come up with or suggest any design ideas at all. Read.
Poster needs a purpose or aim for it. i.e. Light wind hyper efficiency, ultra low cost, top end speed, indestructibility, etc.
They are my purposes or aims for it. Speed might be the most fun, and for a project like this you can make a scale r/c model for it.
