True that! The biggest reason to consider wind or wing foiling is the foil puts the board above the chop and is much easier on your knees and back, ONCE YOU LEARN. One friend in his early 70s was going to get double knee replacement and maybe a back fusion... and found wind foiling and then wing foiling has allowed him to get better and put off the surgery. Wind foiling is inherently safer than windsurfing because you do it with a larger board that is easy to uphaul and get back to shore in very light wind. Wing foiling is much simpler with no harness or mast and just the wing, board and foil. The foils go upwind so easily right over killer chop so they can have fun on days that are just brutal to try and windsurf. Another "downside" is they are so much more efficient that some sail them year round so you would never get time to catch up on chores, honeydos, etc. during the offseason.
