The level of STOKE about foils on windsurfers is off the charts
Bring on the new toys and lets get the rules of Foil Club established 
Never talk to your Wife or Hubby about Foil Club
We are not spending money we are just investing in the future
We are just keen to stay fit and healthy
Thanks to everyone that has posted, keep it up and keep the windsurfing foil news coming.
Cheers Russ

Ok TASSIE give me the real fungshwey , be honest , .... is foiling better than than skimming ? I could be spending a lot of money and a marriage , it's on your head , is it worth it ?
Excited to see the Naish foil board combo.will be interesting how they compare price wise to the Manta,Horoue and ADH boards.Would lucky to have been 10kmots in the vid and fully powered up with a 5.7

Didn't Rush Randle ride those things on the 90s.
No Rush had a much more modern design.
Some pics of the new Zeeko windfoil board.
115L 78cm wide 215cm long. Can use Tuttle or plate mount foils. With plate mount you can tune foil balance.
Those sails on the Naish product look simple in layout and bagged out for power. Short harness lines look like the go.

This has probably been asked before, but how fast do these things go?
25 knots
I think it is more about enjoying long glides in light wind.

Around 30 knots seems to be the peak at the moment. This is with a smaller wing, the larger ones are better for lightwind.
So what are kite brands (who have bashed windsurfing for years) now suddenly jumping on the windfoil band wagon. What works for kite foiling does not directly transfer to windfoiling. Lack of skilled testing teams will mean sub standard products. There is a desire to make a quick buck. I'll stick to reputable brands thanks.

How about a prediction for, say five years time??

How hard is it to learn? You wouldn't want to stuff up and run it aground! 
I just found Roos great writeup..

55 Knots
in rough water
Do they track up wind ok or just good for back & forth reaching.getting interested.
So the first video from Naish shows the Hover Windsurf, second shows the Hover crossover SUP/Windsurf.
The SUP/Windsurf ( above), looks good as it can be used as a conventional wave sup, foil sup and wind foil!

That is everything in one I am going for the Hover windsurf but I think the crossover would be best for most.

Thanks Sean
It will be good for the PWA to be able to hold the light wind events with foils and get results and keep windsurfing for the windy days over 15 knots where it looks like fun rather than a light wind yacht race.
Foils do look heaps of fun racing in 15 knots and under

Sure will so many are planning to purchase foils as a part of 2018

I thought you said Windsurfing had been cancelled.
