This Crash happened last year….   and I think the comment was made ‘I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more of this in Slalom foiling!!!   Rider: Gonzalo Costa Hoevel
Well to be fair we haven’t seen it that much….   BUT…  we are starting to see a bit of Blood!!!

 

Update:

This is a pic from Marin Réaubourg…  

Nothing to do with the video above…. but it’s a Nasty injury from foiling… so be careful out there guys!!!!

UPDATE:
Marin:  The accident did not occur during sailing but at the beginning ! When I entered in the water, the foil was up, then a shore break turned the board over so the foil smashed my foot…

Marin comments on the picture and injury:
‘Notice to all windsurfers: I just realized the scale of the thing… you have to know that I don’t want you to change your mind about buying a new foil, the sensations are just magical, it takes You were testing this! Personally, I’ll get back on my foil as soon as my foot heals, it’s become almost a “drug” for me, like many other windsurfers!
I just want to warn you of the risks (possible) and precautions to be taken in connection with this practice: that is, helmet, vest, slippers, long legs, etc… safety must be given priority!
Anyway, be careful and have a nice foil session!’
