Wang lordz, winging vs surfing as entry
- struggle vs linear progression
Voyaging vs circles

Realities of foiling

Prone
- a new board will feel better than an old board, this due to the rigidity going in the old board more than anything else
- your prone abilities are limited by your surf abilities. You are unlikely to prone better than you can surf (generally speaking)
- a pro can make anything work and should be wary of basing your decisions on their decisions
- equally, mediocre riders have endless variety of dysfunctions, and anyone giving advice is probably unable to truly understand all the variables at play, and so is making a few jumps in logic to get to their opinion
Wing
- You can wing in more marginal conditions than you can windsurf/kitesurf, meaning you'll try wing in places with shitty wind and end up in the same position, waiting on the beach, stuck offshore and with a pile of expensive rapidly depreciating gear
- The wings are near disposable and seemingly magnitised towards stabs
Downwind
- Downwind is incredibly sensitive to absolutely every variable, and getting ideal conditions to learn pretty much requires full commitment, and in some places it just won't be worth the effort.
- Logistics of downwind requires a traffic free road running parallel to the sea to really be worth the effort, and a crew of 3 who can drop everything to make it happen.
