I owned one of the first Bladerders in the US. It was a blast in anything over 8 knots. If you are really good, then you're able to get it to start foiling in 6 knots.

I sold it because, it really was frustrating trying to foil in a light/shifty lake environment.

If I lived on the coast, I would still have it. But I sold it and went back to my A-cat...
