Kai Lenny Downwind SUP Foil

[magentawave]

I just got word from a friend of mine that certain unnamed people on the north shore of Oahu are working on a safer foil that won't slice or decapitate you if you get hit by it. It's made out of high density rubber. Swear to gawd.

It almost feels like the first time you heard about cell phones. Here you thought your pager was great. For those of you who know what a pager was:)

It might be safer...but, it will still hurt when getting hit by it...just like getting whacked Pro Teck fins...only an order of magnitude much worse...;-)
For some reason, I feel "safer" when I'm windfoiling than SUP surf foiling...even though I'm higher and moving faster...must be the unpredictable beach break waves...

Leashes are also PITA...no wonder Kai and da boyz don't appear to be using them...;-)

NORTH (Boards and More) are producing a "somewhat" safer Foil system

the KEY WORD is Somewhat!

So I guess excessive board pumping is now going to be considered good style?

Maybe the tail section of a 747?

And gawd help us if it is!
