I’m a drift launch pro. Last I checked I could kite out of anywhere with 30 meters of water downwind of me. For me it would be 6.5 M kite, pocket board, foil, lines, pump. So one bag and probably half the weight. And most importantly it’s free at the moment vs buying an inflatable.
I’ve abandoned the idea of surf foiling while traveling. It never works out - and it’s just so good at home.
