Foil for both kite & windsurf?

You might be out of luck. Francis rides his Naish windfoil as a kite foil. He makes it work but it's not idea.

MAYBE slingshot with two wings?
How much do you weigh and where do you usually sail?

Yes I ride a naish trust foil and use for both windsurf and kitesurf as well
The foil parts are all interchangable. As Alton mention it's not ideal because I cheap out I only bought the extra front wing for kite without the fuselage so it's a little unresponsive and tough to maneuver,
It will work and I'm happy

I have a clone of the Slingshot H2 setup that I use for windfoiling. The wing is medium in size and aspect ratio. I have a two fuselages one for kiting and one for windsurfing. I haven't kited it yet, but it's similar to my previous kitefoil setup so it should be okay for me.

Jumping or going out in waves: The larger the surface area of the wing the harder it is on your equipment/fin box when you land.

Jumping?? It can be costly, I'll stick with my regular equipment beside
I'm too old for that:-)

Come on Francis, go for it!


I also have the Naish foil but have not yet been successful in getting it going. You can give me some tips this fall. I've been using it on the 4 in 1 starboard sup though so I'd like to try out your Naish Hover sometime if I can?

Instead of running use a bike.

OR

Get a rope and tie it around one of the logs or pier at the spit. Maybe the river current is strong enough to fly in place.

Hey Michael, feel free to try out my gear, if you see me out there just give me a shout, I usually foil at Jericho on NW wind or Nexen on inflow. Cheers,
