surf foil? sup foil? wing foil?

wing can be done in vancouver. Surf/sup requires either ferry to vancouver island or drive to washington coast

pm me for more info if you like

Thanks Juandesooka, He wants to do Surf Foiling. Standup or Prone. I am guessing that he would be into winging. Ill have him come here and chime in when hes ready.

Thanks for the response.
Happy Foiling

sounds good, pm me or email juandesooka at gmail dot com for more details.

assuming he needs foil gear, the kite forums in bc are best place to start for lower mainland -- there are two, kiteboardbc and wtfbc. As well as FB groups.  Bigwavedave is best for south van island.

I recommend always that new foilers try to learn behind a boat...every session in the wake equals 20 in the waves. Especially for prone, as there is so much going on at once, isolate the variables. A competent shortboard surf who masters it behind the boat i reckon can be riding in the surf on first session. For him, the kite schools in squamish will be his best bet.   I have an acquaintance in squamish who is foil surfer with a jetski...maybe some sweet talking, never know
