I don't think it's "too soon".

So the insight I've gotten is that you don't need to go fast, like 15mph and you don't need to bother with ballast. Do it on a full length line. I guess it's a little counter-intuitive because we're used to varying the pressure on our rear foot, and this is better done with slight variations on the front foot.

I don't know anyone other than the guys at the boat dealer and the Slingshot rep that have actually done it though... I'm the only person I know that owns one (aside from our orthopedic knee specialist that's a kiteboarder and does foil kite boarding)

I've been waiting for a little bit warmer weather/water before I give it a try, but I'm looking forward to it. I've heard it takes a bit to get the hang of it and that you crash a LOT, but I'll let you know...
