Looking good 
I'm interested.
Is there any difference and advantage over the Carafino Foil
and the popular French one (sorry I lost my bookmark)

Re: Light wind alternative: the kitefoil by zeeko
Will these be available in the US? Any idea on price? I think other foils are in the $1200-$1500 range?

Well from what I can see the foil is much higher aspect than the carafino...so here are a few assumptions...moving higher into the wind, harder to control, little more unstable...might handle higher speeds better but not be as smooth turning(?)
Kind of reminds me of the high AR carafino.
....but I am not sure what the revolution is here since foils have been out for over a decade....be interesting to see what the revolution is
...send me one and I'll test the difference.

Re: Light wind alternative: the kitefoil by zeeko
Hi All,
firstly i would like to thank you for your inputs!
we are producing the foils, we will inform you about the delivery date soon.
The ZEEKO one a new kind of design, more performance orientated but still easy to use.
because fins are designed like a bow, it gives to the foil a very good stability.
The foil on the video is the first one which will be introduced, in the next month there will be beginner fins to increase the stability at low speed.
Riding with a foil is a new perspective of riding in light wind. With a foil you can go upwind effortless, with no noise (the use of a wtaerproof MP3 player is recommended) and with no effect of the chops conditions, with or without any straps.
You can go downwind easily.
Of course it requires some times of learning before being able to ride it easily. But when you pass this time, you enter in a new world or sensation: the flying carpet.
The Zeeko foil is a fun, easy to use one.
Ride high

Re: Light wind alternative: the kitefoil by zeeko
Not sure what you mean designed like a bow but I am interested in a high ar foil. Will your s be I.terchangable with carafino system? Or do you have to get everything so to speak?

Re: Light wind alternative: the kitefoil by zeeko
I mean bow is defined as the tips of the fins are more on the back than the center of the fin.
It makes the foil very stable in low and specially high speed.
The system is not interchangeable with the carafino, but it will be available to order only the foil without any boards if you have an old surfboard (a reinforced one) you want to use.
Ride easy,
