It's good, time will tell how long it takes to get bored of it, but I don't see it happening soon, it has exceeded my expectations in this regard. The setup isn't as playful as a kitefoil, but it works really well for super long reaches that I wouldn't normally feel comfortable doing kiting. It goes upwind almost as well as a kitefoil and steep downwind reaches are pretty easy, you can't outrun your sail the way you can with a kite. The setup has a lot of potential for exploring. I've found with trying to get on swells I'm outrunning them even with my relatively slow foil, but I tend to be rigged pretty big so that I don't have to uphaul. The hover sensation from kiting is definitely there.
