Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion
Thx 4j, yeah I pieced that mostly together and THEN saw the vid, good find and confirmation. The short fuse I can see making this a bit trickier but not impossible I think.
Not sure how the foil mast and turning fits into the picture but I’d think there is also a shifted “rudder” element/factor if ...

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion
The only thing marginal is the fuse length/spacing. As for winging my knees can’t do it I am thinking, wanna learn to be on foil before I try more

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion
….kind of need the different fuselage dimensions to make each work. ….
custom fuselages to get foils to ride correctly, .. harder when you don't know what correct looks like.
Something like a Slingshot PTM926 with both fuselages would be a good investment (probably better than a board) and is ...

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion
Yep! That’s the issue, no windfoil gear…or at least no fuse/space in front of foilmast/tuttle with plate not very adjustable :?
I didn’t want both kits! On the upside, I managed to move the foil mast ahead 3”, rear straps back 1”, Center of front foil now at midpoint. Longer fuse set for the larger ...

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion
:|
Big thick older low aspect foils have a ton of drag. They're meant to under constant low power. The second you let off the sail/wing/kite the foils drag takes over. Add to that the high board swing of an unpowered windfoil setup and the nose drops out. A wider stabilizer and longer fuse could ...

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion
Forget the 44" stuff, that's from 2018.
Where the foil mast is located is irrelevant. Put your front footstrap where you want it… lose the back footrap altogether,…
Cnter the front foil between your feet and adjust from there to try to get even foot pressure.
2000 is a big slow lifty foil. Get ...

Re: Windsurf Foiling Foil Set Up
I understand to start you want
-the sail mast 44” ahead of the front tuttle screw or 43” front of foil mast. When going bigger sail you move the mast base back??? In windsurfing it’s the other way?
-front foil should be centered between centers of footstraps
-foil mast should be perpendicular? to ...

Re: WINDSURF foiling
Interesting this thread started in July of 2018 and lasted until July 2019. Seems like when most doods started the WIND foiling and now the WING foiling is starting to possibly take over. I started WIND foiling in June 2020 so I'm a bit late to the party but trying to make up for my late entry ...

Wind/Session log stats
You used to be able to review individual stats, like gear they used most, etc. it seems the user handles are no longer hyperlinked to their stats? Has that been lost?

Re: Windsurf bag
Hey- I have a huge big (wheels) and a big (board, sails, booms) bag you can use. Also got quiver/mast bags. I’d expect beers if they get damaged
But….i’m at CB so if you sail Tuesday you could pick ‘em up
