Anyone used a Slingshot very low aspect foil for kite foiling?
Seems some use successfully the SUP Naish foils for foil kiting.

You can always use a surf/large foil for kiting. Be prepared for heaps of lift (compared to your kite foil) and a much slower ride. The Naish Thrust Surf Medium works so well because of how stable they are, even at ultra low speeds. I actually use the Thrust Surf Large kiting, and it's awesome for playing on the swells with a tiny kite.

Give it a go and share your experiences.

Ride safe,

Can someone explain the Naish warning about using NOT using the SUP foils in the surf?
I thought that's the purpose.
