The location is at Sorobon Beach on Lac Bay in Bonaire. Lac Bay is the windsurfing area which also allows wing foil, but no kiting. It is protected by a barrier reef, so the water is calm. The deeper water for foil is at the very end of the road, just past Jibe City rentals.
How much do you weigh? I just special ordered that board in the hope that it will be a one-board option for me (I also windfoil). I ordered the 135L and hope it’s not too big 😬
I weigh 200 lbs. The 120 liter board had plenty of floatation and stability for me to learn wing foil. This board model also has a mast track and finbox and footstrap locations for windsurfing with fin or foil, but I did not try that. I never saw a board like this that can do both. I cant find a dealer in the U.S., otherwise I might buy one for fun all around that friends and family could enjoy too. If the 135 liter is longer than the 120 liter, the 135 might be better for windsurfing/foil. I think dedicated windsurfing boards are even longer, so the 135 may be a good choice.
@@derekbergener5267 Thanks, Derek. I got the RRD Pocket Rocket which is 120L but had just a heck of a time uphauling on it, and the volume distribution is so tail heavy, even by windfoil board standards, which is probably why I erred on the side of135L this time. Didn't bother trying to wing on it, since I've got other wing boards I like better, and ended up selling it to a friend. But, yes, Tabous are hard to come by here in the States. Yeah, I got mine from Sandy Point, so you might want to try them. They have the 120L still. I also like the MTE edition because I think it looks cooler and weight isn't that big of deal for me. Nice video and look forward to seeing more!
Nice job!
Good job! You finally did it. Also, I need to know about this mouth mount
Congratulations! What beach/resort are you launching from?
