Slingshot lanceert de Foil Academy. Een gratis online course vol met video's en how to's. De kitesurf versie staat inmiddels helemaal online; de windsurf en wake versie volgt nog. De foil-frenzy gaat wel echt los nu heh 
Slingshot uitleg over de Foil Academy:
Kite Foil Academy is a comprehensive online instructional course designed for user-friendly foiling progression. The course utilizes Slingshot’s multi-mast Foiling Flight School system and Hover Glide foil. We break the learning process down to the basics, and in nearly a dozen different chapters we cover the skills you will need to become a proficient foiler.
This course is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to foil in a safe and structured manner. We highly recommend learning with the Foiling Flight School mast system, which allows you to start with a short mast and increase in size as your skills progress. If you choose not to use this system, there’s still a wealth of valuable information, tips and tricks to take away from each lesson.
