Anyone wakefoiling (or want to learn) in downtown Chicago?

Hi! Wing foiler frustrated with lack of wind/spots in Chicago here. Been getting out on my wake foil board behind various boats as much as possible this summer. Looking to build a little more community around this awesome sport, maybe meet some new people with similar interest/obsession with foiling.

Is it possible…

It knowing the first thing about foiling except it looks cool. Contemplating getting one and one only foil board, I want to be able to use it to kite when the wind is not quit strong enough for the twin tip AND to pump around on the waves when there is no wind. Is This a realisable dream ? Or is one board just going to to both jobs not so good? I have a feeling they are very single task specific due to the nature of the wing design and mast height and other stuff I am not aware of. Any informed information would be much appreciated.

Is a 15hp aluminum outboard enough to tow a foilboard?

I'm a 95kg guy planning to buy a north 1500r and either a slingshot alien air or an airush foil skate 142 v1 for kitefoiling. Is there any chance that the 15hp aluminum outboard we have at the cottage wil be able to tow me well enough to let me learn to foil behind the boat first before moving on the kite? Which of those two boards will give me the best chance at making it work?

Optimal Dock Start Foil?

I'm looking for insight on foil options for dock starts. What is an optimal foil front wing size, aspect, and weight? My understanding is higher aspect gives you better glide and larger surface area has more lift. So would a 1500cm2 wing that's high aspect be the best option for someone dock starting? Or is another size better? Does mast and fusalage weight make a big difference? I got a heavier set-up and my progress dock starting just tanked. I think it's the heavier fusalage and mast that negatively impacted my progress. Any insights would be appreciated!

Best foil board option for family with jetski

I (35m, 250 lbs) am looking for a foil board that I can use as well as my 9 year old daughter to foil behind a jet ski on a lake. Does anyone have any options that could work with a range of people sizes and do well with small jet ski wakes?

Axis Tray 94 or Slingshot Dwarfcraft 100?

Looking for one of these ultrashort boards for pumping and wake riding. Any opinions? My newer gear is all Axis but my masts will fit either. Thanks!

Haven't really found any good solutions for storing a fully setup foilboard, so here's my 20 minute rack idea.

? Hybrid 3:1 ?

I'm looking for new toys. Is a hybrid foil board a good idea ? Could it be used with a kite ?

I got excited after watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oawhc6AD3hs

Shredder sled V1 3:1 - with foot strap plugs - but foot straps not included

I have windsurfed in the past - long and short boards. wing foil appeals.

I plan to buy/ use a wing with Super light or Bic Wing . Before upgrading to a foil board.

I want minimal equipment that does it all . There is a Tabou Magic carpet . A hybrid 3:1 with footstraps .

Suggestions ? Comments ?

Thx in advance. David M - near Toronto

Submerged start?

Hi there , stupid question here , expecially because I've never tried foiling before, but I'm curious and I might start soon. Regards the start , instead of catching a wave and popping on the board , which looks really hard to do on a foil board, how about using a board with straps ( like the one for kitesurfing) and starting to pump under the water standing on the board submerged under your feet ? Would it not work?

Foil Profiles

Hey All, I made a quick and dirty hand shaped foil last year and am looking to make something more efficient for this summer. Does anyone have any input on foil profiles that might work for low speed high lift foils?

Foilboarding behind a boat, how difficult is it?

Wakeboarding all my life, no problem at all. Now im doing the same thing with a skimboard, not alot tricking and that kind of stuff but I get up for the most part on my First try and I can ride inside and outside the boats wave (dont know the proper term)

The transition to a foilboard, is it difficult?
