Slingshot just emailed a link to their excellent “How to kite foil” video on Vimeo featuring the Alien Air:

How to Kite Foil – from Slingshot

Really useful to hear that it’s hard to get the board off the water with the foil at the back of the track, but this is the best position to learn the right stance.

I’ll keep it there for another session or 2 then move it forward 2.5 cm and hope for a bit of lift-off.
