OK... somewhere I saw a vid with a wakeboard and a airchair hydrofoil attached to it... was this a one off design? or is it mass produced. I did a web search but could not find anything on it... was I dreaming???

Theyre actually called tow-in boards and Laird Hamilton rides big waves with them... never actually seen one behind a boat or anyone doing tricks while being towed.

Thank you tyler BUT I googled Tow-n board and they are the right board BUT no foil HOWEVER... I DID find one called simply "Foil Board" http://www.offdalip.com/product_images/01-FOILBRDg.jpg

I saw a boat with one and a guy riding one on Lake Berryessa a few weeks ago. It was pretty crazy. But not too exciting. He was doing flips.

As far as I know, foilboard is the description wich is given to the Surf-, Kite- an Wakeboards with attached foils looking like the skyski/airchair foils. They been used randomly for tow-in surfing but seem to gain acceptance in kiteboarding. Very few behind boats. A freind of mine, skyski dealer, had one to try it out. Just riding an small jumps in the flats were pretty easy.

this is talked about on "billabong's surf odyssey" which is a pretty sweet vid in itself.

You mean something like this. . . hmm never mind the image is apparently too big, kind of weird it is a small file. Oh well, we have been playing around with this concept a little.
