Wing foiling - it’s when you use a foil board with a giant handheld kite:
The feeling is incredible and even better than e-foiling (battery powered foil) when you lock in. However it’s still expensive where decent entry set is 2k usd at least and that will take you several tough sessions just to get up. After that the prices just sky rocket and some high end wings (the parts that are underwater and lift the board) can cost thousands of dollars and you probably want multiple for various conditions.
The main issue is really the perfect condition chasing. Ideally you want strong 5-10 knot wind at least with nice weather out which surprisingly is hard to get unless you live in places that have these perfect conditions. I highly recommend Hua Hin in Thailand if anyone wants to give this a shot!
