Thanks for the heads-up, I for sure won't be in the market for a windowless wing.

I think this wing thing has a bright future given its foiling (fun) potential in light wind where most people in the world live. Its a solitary sport just like windsurfing. It can get going from a crammed launch and definitely not intrusive like kiting. The only downside is that it may not be the easiest sports to master. Since I already have a 10ft windsup equipped with daggerboard, the next...

I found a couple of short tutorial videos by professor Alan Cadiz on wingsurfing. It goes from land exercise, wing-windsuping all the way to wing foiling. Beginners may find it useful.

i think winging is easier than windsurf foiling. it is a little tricky to get going but once you learn to get up on foil, the riding and trimming part is less complicated. Lots of people learning both right now, and I'm seeing people go directly to wing foiling from all sorts of backgrounds.

Bobby, I have a used wing for sale Duotone Foil Wing 4 & 5m quiver. Will consider splitting it up as well, but having both sizes is nice.
