Foil drives are for old boys with cash to burn that are too old and unfit to prone/ sup in the surf or downwind.
Now I don’t criticise these old boys for doing it. A lot of the time they are having an absolute blast when they wouldn’t be able to otherwise.
And yes the majority of them are absolute dogs with zero surf/foil etiquette or recognition of the fact they’re on a motorised craft and are legally required to stay away from non motorised water users. Most of them have the funds available to fight the court case when they do eventually decapitate someone anyway so abiding by laws, etiquette or respect for the fellow human being is not high on their list but at least their having fun and good on them, thats all I’m saying!
sounds like you're the one who needs an attitude adjustment, or maybe it's just your youth shining through. you're correct in that I've seen fellow FDers go where they shouldn't, but those come in all ages, and in all disciplines. if they're doing bad at 25, they'll probably still be doing bad at 70. i've seen great proners doing great things on the FD. I could go on, but the bottom line is maybe a little less stereotyping and a bit more tolerance can go a long way.
