Does it have a hydro-foil attachment, can't tell. But looks like it's a smooth rider! :)

Doubt it somehow. Windsurfers are quick enough already without removing the tiny amount of drag you have.

My ethos on watersports is that if you cannot do it while drinking beer, then it's probably not worth doing. I also like to have the option of staying dry should I want to. So all boards are out. ;D



Not just that, the Atlanic is too dam cold.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Cheers SkyNoz. It sort of does, not exactly like a hydrofoil though.

Here are my fins. They 1stly stop you from going sideway, but once you get up to speed to provide lift which pushes the board off the water. So they pretty much do the same thing as hydrofoils, just without all the drag.

eek Freedomhays, i don't know what it is but im terrified of them! That said there were a lot of sharks out in Egypt, and when your actualyl sailing you don't tend to think about it...and i suppose it provides that little incentive to pull of a move ;D

So do you actually see these sharks regularly? :o I saw a crab once in Poole Harbour 8), about all we have to worry about!

nah it's not! If you wanna be a pussy you can wear a wetsuit and you will defo be fine, but most guys on the water just wear board shorts and a rash vest! It really is suprisingly warm. I was out in shorts yesterday, in late October and it still was fine. Well maybe a little chilly, but still fine ;)
