That's pretty amazing! I also watched the video of you foil boarding on a lake. What's your opinion on board length, and wing design for a setup that would work optimally on flat water in a lake? Obviously you'd want a bigger wing for lower-speed lift, but what would be your specific recommendations? Pumping would be important, but the paddle seems crucial too. I'm not sure it would work, but I'm wondering about sails to help with the launch, since there are no waves...
Impressive. I consider it impossible. How do you do/what conditions are necessary?
It's been an adventure in 2018. Since then foils have improved a lot. It would be lot easier now. 15-20 knots of trade wind is enough to make it fun.

Should you have a backwood wind? Vent arrière?
Thanks and congrats
If yes, I suppose it is easyer if the wind comes from the land so that the waves are not too big.
Thanks

Well done Eric! May I ask what size board (length and volume) and what size foil (it looks like the GoFoil?) you were using?
Greg Barker my board is a 6'6x23, 85 liters. The foil is Gofoil Maliko 200 with a 29,5 inches mast
