Some years ago the biggest kite you could see around -except for out foils Flysurfer were 14 mts size kites. With the time, some tube kiters opted for bigger kite sizes, back are the times in which the biggest kite you could see around were 14 mts kites
The line to follow started to be the 17 mts tube kites, but, soon, that, probed not to be enough, that is why some of this kiters switched their twin tips for surf boards
The success on their rides were somehow noticeable though often you could see people with their 17 mts floating on the water as wind was on the 6 knots range and the heavy tubes were not able to fly
The next step in the changes I mentioned in the first line of this post came when some valients tried something completely new and newer seen before on our waters, the first foilboards
THE FOILBOARDS
Though it must be admitted that the differences in riding technique between a normal kite board and a foil board are huge, soon were a dozen of kiters which were riding with more or less success
While on a normal kite board, what you do is to stretch your front leg and apply pressure on your back foot, this method fails drastically if what you are trying is to waterstart on a foil kiteboard
