I demoed foils not too long back but I only used them for a day. Im a pretty light guy (6'0 145LBS) and I dont have the toughest legs around but I had no problems handling the foils. They are heavier than the skis that I use right now (the mad trix) but I guess it all boils down to how heavy you are and how much ski you can handle. I suggest demoing them so you dont end up with skis that are too light for you.

The Foils are light, and this is because they have a foam core, not a wood core like most skis.
