I picked up a freebie 2019 Naish Thrust foil that I'm going to give to a buddy who is just now thinking about learning to foil. One difference between the Naish and the slingshot foil that I'm used to ... |

I have an Exocet Cross II 106 liter freestyle wave board that I've just used and used and used since buying it new in 2009 because it works so darn well for like 90% of my shortboard sailing and it ha ... |
