And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Now that's an awesome sport I had never heard of before.
When properly tuned, the major adjustment is being 18" taller. The foil will mimic the board when in the proper position - all the forces (sail pull, wind gusts, and direction) should be relative. The one thing that will be significantly different is the smoothness of ride, as the foil will eliminate any water friction and surface roughness.
Or so I've been told by a young charger with more desire than brains. His wife started thinking about it as she saw him zipping across SF Bay at 40 or so... he don't do that no more.
The skill sets involved makes me wonder how people transition from "pedestrian" to hydrofoil rider.
