Wing with a SUP on a lake? Is it any fun or just for learning or?

That makes sense to use the foil as the keel instead of the mast and let it generate lift upwind. Maybe I need to lean the board more than I have been. I will try it next time and report back if it works. It could be that my board has too much volume to sink the rail properly and I need a smaller board. Slogging upwind would be a very useful tactic for times when there's not enough wind to get up on foil and sure beats paddling upwind with your arms.
