I have been seeing these surf foils advertised? Any chance the industry will go through another major revolution with the impending death of surfing? Old direct drives with sports car handling will come back into fashion!

Looks a little deadly for me. I prefer not to take foils to the face

Agree. Surfing is very popular because it is less physically demanding than wake boarding/slalom and less risk of getting hurt. Let's face it, the price of boats has done more for surfing than anything. How many 20 or 30 somethings can afford 6 figure boats? Even the new SN starts at over $100k. It's us older guys in our 40s and 50s who can afford these boats. So until the price of wake boats come down (never gonna happen) surfing will be popular. The one caveat is if legislators start imposing laws on wake surfing because of big waves causing damage/shore erosion, etc.2007 Malibu Wakesetter 23 LSV, 1995 Cobalt 200
