Pryde Foils on the way

Not a surprise to anyone who's seen the videos.

Quote:
Team Pryde's Antoine Albeau had a rare event to forget in the slalom, but he softened the blow slightly by winning the exhibition foiling contest ahead of Gonzalo Costa Hoevel and Team Pryde's Sebastian Kornum. Team Pryde's Mateus Isaac was in 4th. This serves as a fantastic introduction of the NeilPryde foil package which will be available from early next year.

Re: Pryde Foils on the way

Now we just need an inflatable foil board for windsurfing. There's already one for kites.

Re: Pryde Foils on the way

I'd watch more of Randy's kite vids if he, too, used Euro house music for his tracks.

Felt like I was on Ibiza for a moment

AJ I don't see any way my video's can compete with a guy pumping up an inflatable toy so I won't even try, But you might try searching youtube for something similar.

I don't even want to think about what you might be referring to here.

Might have been something lost in the translation:

Ya probably want to pay with a credit card with a generous chargeback program rather than cash. Biggrin

(Actually sounds like the city with Super U, a supermarket chain, and the foil guys have the equivalent of short term lease. Someone in the house is a French minor but she's officially checked out of doing any brain work since last week.)

Re: Pryde Foils on the way

$1600
This is Alex Morales, the Cuban guy who windsurfed to 'murica. He says it's more stable (easier?) than F4, but F4 is faster. He is touting the shorter (-10 cm) mast as better, but I now get the once crazy looking, longer F4 mast– one foot above 1.5 ft chop puts the wings safely 1 ft below the surface.
