Am I the only one who doesn't see the appeal in surf with these foils?
It's amazing how much speed Zane generates with just a couple pumps.

Aloha Alex,The board I am currently building is similar length to the sailboard that I am foiling on...and, I have ridden it as a SUP...and, know my foot placement...Your foil position is more forward of mine...and, there are a few other builders with more forward locations...is yours too far forward?BTW, I looked at the Manta foils and conversed with those guys...but, opted for lighter weight carbon...The mast angle and foil type, definitely is part of the equation...for safety reasons alone, I don't like it as far aft as it is on the sailboard I am using to windfoil...I have kicked it several times waterstarting...even though, I am trying to be careful...I have also studied most of what is on the www, and, came to the conclusion to locate the box where I have...this will allow me to place my rear foot behind the mast if I want, while I am SUP foiling...similar to what the AHD foil board is, and what many kitefoilers do...but, also use the board for SUP and windSUP when I plug the deep Tuttle cavity and use the US box option...Lastly, as this board is a proto, it won't be that big of a deal to R/R...reconfigure...the boxes if I have to...but, I don't think I will...plus, I am working on a windFoil with somebody who makes kitefoils...so, I will need to test the lift and stability...etc...in this position as well...;-)
