Tried to foil at bbay yesterday but the weeds were out of control and just kept sapping my speed.

I'm surprised how much weed there is floating on the surface already.

Kite, I'd be scared to windfoil in bbay with all the sandbars.

I beat the shit out of my old sturdy LF foil yesterday on sandbar after sandbar. With those windfoils and the full weight of the 130L board, mast and sail I think it would be game over if you hit a single one.
