NICE ;
I "Like" it !!!!!

I got a project to plug my prosthetic(s) directly into the hydrofoil pylon, then

twice as long as they use on current weight-shift models for kite-boarding. Twisting
my rear foot can do the rudder ; got Good control on those functions when

Speed range 8 or 10mph to 30+ but not a bunch more so it won't hurt when i fall.

Any suggestions for a foil-airfoil ; i weigh 210lb so won't need a lot of aria.
