So, I have an interest in the hydrofoil boards.
Does anyone have any local experience involving seaweed, logs, and general performance as well as know how the learning curve goes?

Hi Mike,
We have a couple of these for sale at the shop (OR).
Give Kevin or John a call 888-544-4969 if you're interested. They definatly don't like weeds/kelp.

I think it must be pretty easy, as Gmac can do it (see below).

If he can do it, pretty much anyone can! :wink:

Yup,

I think I would be wearing my full hockey gear for the first few goes.
But then again, look at Grant doing it. Ahh nothing to it, just lean back!

Sit and be FIT! :x

The "Air Chair" is cringe-worthy for so many reasons though that's the best clip I've seen of one.

The kite foil boards actually look like they take some athletic skill to ride well in comparison.

That is intense air chairing! When you eat it on those things, you eat it hard. It's like catching your backside edge snowboarding on ice!
