Windsurf Foilboarding is here!
The future of windsurfing is finally here!
Who said you have to do the same old thing on flat water, or even in waves?
We already thought about it in the eighties, but - as usual in Maui- things aren't just invented in mind; it's being made!
Rush Randle known from his foilboards for big wave surfing, is owner of Rush Foilboards and developed the windsurfing foilboard.
It's is the only true functioning hydrofoil windsurfer available in the world, with no way to describe the experience of riding the foilboard windsurfer than "riding a cushion of air". Clearing the water's surface by 2 feet, you leave the rough ride and noise of the chop behind. Amazing, exciting, exhilirating...all adjectives that barely do the experience justice!
There is nothing else quite like it!
A sport still in it's infancy, each board is a custommade hand made board. Rush Randle's new patented extendable fuselage is the key to the windsurfers control without boots, and every shaft is modified by Rush Randle himself. The boards are truly hand made works of art.
The boards are made of top quality carbon and kevlar for maximum strength & impact resistance. Finishing is done with Ameron car paint for a beautiful but tough color coating. Sky Ski foils are all chrome finished or available in anodized coloring.
The 8'0" is still an experimental concept board, and it's still not known just how fast it will go...no one has been brave enough to take that test! But the potential is incredible. And Rush can even loop it on flat water, too!
The 8'6" is the workhorse model, handling sail sizes 5.4 up to 9.8 (no need to go bigger, as the efficiency of the foil will have a 9.8 powered in 6 knots!). Incredible range, and always enough volume to get you home.
Windsurfing will never be the same!
