Hi,

We are 5 students in mechanical engineering at the University of Sherbrooke
(Canada) engaged in a 2 years design project. We've decided to work on a
windsurf hydrofoil. We'd like to have your comments on the subject. If you can
take few minutes from your time to answer the following questions, we will be
gratefull.

1. How long have you been windsurfing ?
2. What do you like about windsurfing ?
3. Have you ever ride with a hydrofoil ?
4. Would you like to ride one ? and why ?

thanks for your collaboration

Team Levarius
