Thanks for sharing, FXloop. Fun videos, and neat to show the moths in with the kiteboarders. Anyone who is doing a windsport is a friend of mine. The foiling kiteboards look awesome as the most affordable foiling wind sport. A foiling race board $2-3K plus 2-3 kites at $1k / kite on closeout. It is the opposite of a one-design sailboat with virtually no rules limiting its development (well actually, a few in racing classes) We are seeing a ton of development and progression with new kites and boards every year.

At $4k-5k to get foiling in kiteboards vs $15-25K+ to get foiling in A-cats or F18's, kiting looks like a bargain.
Then, $4-5K buys a ton of boat in the classifieds here.
