Saw a couple of the flying boards in the Bay of Islands this Christmas they looked fun without the racket and wake of jet skis and I was told about $10000.00 Kiwi which didn't seem too bad compared with the electric outboards that we sell. Mind you it was flat calm and I was more impressed by a guy zipping through our anchorage weaving between the boats on a foiling board just holding a small fixed wing as opposed to a windsurfer sail or kite.
Foiling really is coming on in leaps and bounds for small craft and the Americas Cup class will show people just how fast something that looks quite ungainly can go, for those that can manage them anyway...
