Hi Nico,

I think they're the pioners of foilkiting, if there's no info on these sites, try contecting the guys and they might just tell, ya.
Watch yer ankles.

Did you check those sites? There's some great photos of guys towing into Jaws on foilboards and other stuff.
There's also an ad for a small compressed air bottle to carry with you so if you get held under by a mega wave you'll have something to breath, if it don't smash ya to a pulp on the reef that is.
