iQ is of course a good allround set up but is by now a bit dated. New foils have better, and more accessible performance, even without having to resort to the latest and greatest. For a more allround experience I would also favor a board in the current PWA range (85cm wide), which is still plenty wide for doing some up/down wind sailing but is much more manageable on a reach.

Just to say: while iQ is still a valid choice, there are other, and in my view, better options out there.



Well I've gone mad and ordered a Patrick aeon foil not a do it all foil but think it's going be fun trying to make it work as all rounder 😁


Aeon is probably the best foil out there at the moment so you should be fine.

O am interested in a one board sail and foil for general upwind and downwind free race - probably some out of date race stuff would do or IQ ?


IQ is the best all round race gear that you can use to go fast upwind and downwind, or you can use it to just cruise around.

May not be mountains, but you're riding mountain bikes on steep bush tracks.





Obviously you guys haven't tried to ride anything like a decent mountain bike down some of the more extreme downhill single track trails (as opposed to 'bush tracks') in the dedicated mtb parks near Kalamunda, Dwellingup or Nannup (where they have the only double black run in WA) and unlikely you'd be saying "may not be mountains" after sending it down one of those trails!!! Fyi WA has some of the best most varied and well built mtb trails in the country and there's plenty of different trails to keep one entertained when there's bugger all wind! Also imo kayaking another good low wind alternative


Yep, some of those trails can be sketchy as f.. :P

AusMoz asked: Just out of interest- was Nicole Kidman in it?

Yes, it was Nicole, as per the credits.

Having spotted all of those windsurf-gear features, after a bedroom romp, I also spotted that she had a very nice posterior.



A young Nicole Kidman


Ive never found her remotely attractive. Jennifer Connolly from the 80s was much more my type back then. :)
