You can't let go of the rope?
Super challenging and very,very fun. This isn't the wake specific model but it's basically identical.
Video was shot about 60 seconds after I dropped the rope for the first time. I'm a little shaky! :)
We're all kiteboarders here and own several different models. They're all fun behind the boat. Great way to learn before you try it with a kite. And they're not the 50 lb stainless steel airchair foils from two decades ago by any means. My Lift foil and mast weigh in at about 5 lbs without the board. Youtube search Kai Lenny foiling to see where this is headed.
I realize this may look boring to some but it's way fun. I'm guessing by next year people will be nailing transfers and airs. They're crazy fun when it's choppy too. Literally like flying or riding bottomless powder.
Not sure how to embed a video.

Did anyone get drunk at the boat show and end up buying a foil?

Still looking to see how many of these have actually been purchased. I know dealers have bought them but have customers taken them home?

I think I have my answer with zero additional responses. :)

I think we will skip out on this new Hot market for foil sales for now.

Only way I would buy is if I could demo first.. wonder if you could get them to send you a demo unit for a few months?
