Interesting video on doing a foil board
« on: November 18, 2015, 07:31:24 PM »
For kitesurfing, of course, but the technique and design are interesting. This is from the latest Fiberglass Supply newsletter.  I think he didn't get enough lift, pretty light guy and it doesn't come out of the water very well. And it looks a bit heavy, but it's his first go.

Foote 10'4X34", SIC 17.5 V1 hollow and an EPS one in Hood River. Foote 9'0" x 31", L41 8'8", 18' Speedboard, etc. etc.

Pretty cool. It looks like a ton of work, but really great to see the build like that.

Here's another one on kite foiling. I think they get plenty of lift from this video....
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

Ah yes, the old "If I'm really cool I'll get to reproduce with a symmetrical and genetically desirable female" ploy.  I fell for that in my early motorcycle days. All the ads promised hot chicks, but women crossed the street to avoid me and my cool motorcycle.

Cool foils though. Maybe if I get one they will reduce my current transparency...  ...totally invisible to women.
