Foils are just horizontal fins.

Or... are fins vertical foils?

I'd love to be primarily fin, but the wind here isn't good enough for much time on the water.

No it's not, but after about six years wind/wing foiling I'll do at least one short fin session. I must admit that I made same promise 2 years ago and year ago, but this time I'll keep my promise...maybe.

Winging has really taken off where I live. The light wind potential and ease on body parts being very attractive to a lot of people.

Still not sure if I should learn winging. I windfoil up to around 20 knots wind, then use the fin. Winging would overlap with windfoil, might be easier for travelling, but then after early stages would involve spending more money on proper gear.

Gestalt, windfoiling would replace sailing your LT. You like sailing your LT, so it's understandable that you have no desire to windfoil

Sounds like Gestalt is afraid he might like it.
If so, you should be.
my fin board doesnt get wet that often anymore.
Just try man.
You only live once.


I still love going on fin though.
