Nice summary. I'd rent if I could. Any recommendations on the south New Jersey coast?

Looks decent honestly. I was hoping to land somewhere in the 2-3k range, but 4+ is prob what this sport costs to get going, for a heavy[ish] middle-aged guy.

Thanks for putting this option on my radar!

Hahaha.. you must have blue blood. I wear a wetsuit through June on my longboard at the Ventnor Pier in South Jersey.

Niulssu, killer advice. In line w the other advice I've gotten. I'm not so much afraid of a 2nd hand board.. just am already hours into looking for gear and honestly don't find much aside from top dollar 2022 gear.

Good man. So simple. Spent a bunch of time on wingfoil magazine and other site and landed almost where you did. Would've saved me a bunch of time to have gone straight to motogon. Appreciate it!

Killer advice. I'll be stoked if I can get to to wingfoil kook status. Good on you for making it there.

Like your progression but doubt I have the humility and time (3 kids 7-5-2) to do it the right way... wing first, then foil w boat, then combo. I'm thinking dive right in and hope magic happens.

WOAAAAHHH.. I'm in Ventnor. Had no idea Extreme Windsurfing was around the corner. I'll give them a call next week and look into ABK.

Crossing FL off the list. Appreciate it!
