I’m wondering how they deal with unseen logs and kelp patches which one will invariably encounter. As a frequent kitefoiler these two things can ruin your day. Not only can debris damage your mast and foil but kelp and seaweed tend to aggregate and pretty quickly one can have tens of pounds wrapped around ones foil resulting compounding drag. Even with the momentum of the vessel I don’t see how it will be able to get on foil again after encountering floating patches of kelp.
