To Foil or not to Foil? There is no question!

To Foil or not to Foil? There is no question!

Aaron from Hooked on Kiteboarding tearing it up with the Liquid Force Foil Fish

Ah, foilboarding. It's the latest craze among kiteboarders. It's something that everyone has seemed to chat about this summer, and the momentum keeps building for this incredible skill. In this video, Aaron shows that foilboarding is not merely gliding over the water. It's an art form that can involve twists, turns, and jumps. It may look challenging, but for intermediate to advanced riders, a simple lesson may be what gets you from touching the water to gliding over it like a deity. 

Now you're thinking, "Oh, man. I have to learn how to foilboard!" Well, that's great! Take a look at the Liquid Force How-To Videos!
