Go to FaceBook, search for, Laird Hamilton, (his vids are public, no need to be friends) scroll down and find the video "fly with me"

Watch it.

Now for my question, is it me or does his foil look familiar?

The first time I watched Laird & Rush Randle foil surf was circa 2000,
The set up included K2 “klickers, snow board boots & bindings, surf board & what appeared to be an airchair foil.

In this setup, it's high back snowboard bindings, soft boots, a modified surfboard and a foils that looks VERY similar to the work of Stringy.

U can ride the stringy foil mounted to just about anything - wake skAte, skimboard, surfboard, twintip. - fun/challenging in swell/waves somewhat death defying in pitching waves...
