Didn’t think I’d ever go back to flying kites this large but the 12m Aluula Roam blowout I couldn’t pass on. Now if I only had time to get it wet. Screenshot

Three boards in less than a month? Houston, we have a problem. Consumeristic buyer addiction is a disease. Maybe I should join Board Buyers Anonymous? Nah, I’ll wait for a pill to cure me. Damn it! The deals were so good! Luckily only my girlfriend knows and the random user that might hit this page….

Learning to foil pump behind a jetski on the GoFoil M280 with the Maliko stab. 16′ wakesurf rope and a few pool noodles to keep it from getting sucked in. Works well but the noodles add some drag when riding the wake. The jetski doesn’t create a lot of wake and although possible to foil…
