- it's a gimmick
- looks boring
- it's no good if you can't throw a spray
- it's no good if you can't get barrelled
- could never be as good as double over head maldives glassy perfection. - can't see myself wasting my time it would never be as good as surfing...
These were all the things I used to say before I became addicted to foiling.....

anyone else got 14 shortboards in the garage they no longer use ??

Apparently this guy can surf proper short boards a bit too

Tom Carroll a young fossil, frothing on foil.
Worth a listen.
