Again, yikes, glad you are all right DavidM! I don't think I could be that calm about it, I hope the boater at least learns to pay a lot more attention.

or if you want something else for when your knees hurt but want a challenge, I hear knitting is good.

@ 130lbs probably won't even need a 5.0, 4.0 and 4.7

The GO is a bloody heavy board for foiling, and the straps are set inboard pretty far.

Maybe the best way is to refuse to choose. No self-limiting, vive la difference, chase down all the possibilities and take all the fun on offer. He or she with the most toys and the biggest smiles wins. Until you look at your credit card bill, than the crippling debt sets in, the low interest rates...

No chance a surf foiler, surfer, supper, windsurfer or kiter is doing more with onshore/side-on wind. Looks somewha...
