I think its to far down the track for Laurie do a back flip and have a dedicated all disaplin foil section.
Some guys kite and kitefoil and SUP foil some SUP and SUP foil while a few are venturing into windfoil as well.
Some use the same foil for all 3 - woops 4 counting prone short board foiling.
The foil is the common element and experience.
Some facts:
Many have stated its like learning all over again.
Foiling is mostly surfed in different conditions and is different in almost every way.
Some say its like mowing the lawn - try mowing the lawn on one leg.
Some say I'll never foil.
Foiling should have its own section on SB.

13...

and my axe..... oh wait, wrong forum..

I think there should be a separate Windfoiling thread in the windsurf section.

Windsurfing should have another section headed Raceboard ( this is not slalom race) as well. That could cover Long Raceboards and WIndsurfer LT
(the best selling windsurf board in Australia of 2018).

Laurie, it's 2018 and It's time !

+18 please Laurie

It would be great to be able to go straight to the foiling threads rather than sifting through other subject matter. And having all the threads together from the beginning sounds sensible.

And big THANKS to Laurie for looking after this site.

Come on, Lets go with this Foiling thread.

Please don't foil us Laurie, you are the windfoilers only hope.

I am not a foiler but you can be their messiah. The leader not just a follower.

There are many and more foils for sale on the "buy and sell" here so this is a growing market and makes a lot of sense commercially too. Could this be the world's first separate windfoiling thread in a comprehensive watersports website ? Laurie and seabreeze, the worldbeaters, always ahead and in front, the premiers, leaving other watersports websites in their wake.

Many thanks.

I am all foil it +1

Maybe just change " windsurfing general" to " windsurfing foiling" , as there is not many posts these day on the old style of windsurfing, its all about foiling which is obviously the future to keep windsurfing alive and maybe see some popularity return to the sailing sport.

The Tasmanian Kitesurfing Forum has generated an average of one post a week and about 1 new thread a month over the last two years so the standard to qualify for you own forum is pretty low. I figure that a quick name change is hardly going to be noticed by anyone or alternatively just start to use it as the windsurfing foil forum and accept that there will be the occasional kitesurfing post ( no different to the general windsurfing forum). ;-]

What about a Wally thread
more people sail wallys than foils

Agree
Laurie save time and just make a dedicated Foil forum (hate to liken it to 'Heavy Weather' but thats sort of the idea) for all disaplins.
'Foil' is the common element not what one is on to foil - many use the same foil for different allround enjoyment.
Even shortboarder foilers may mature and bond - joking

^^ Bahahaha!!!!

Maybe we should've had a foiling section for years ......
