Kirsten had a kite-boarding lesson in Simpson Bay lagoon in St. Martin for an hour or so. After the lesson, she also wanted to try out the foil-board behind a power-boat. After a couple of tries, she got up on the foil and did pretty well. Then she asked if I wanted to try so I did. Very interesting feeling – while the board is in the water it is a very familiar feeling with friction against the board. When the foil kicks in and you rise above the water, the friction goes away. You’re also *way* off the water (at least it seems that way), so it is a little unnerving.
