Anyone have an older gofoil 24"/60cm plate mast they are not using anymore? Doesn't have to look nice or anything. Will be using for really shallow spots. Thanks in advance!

Whoah! Nice pic and great job. Those are some bumps! On the flights, where/how are you holding onto the board?

Anyone have an old/beater Axis 660 sitting around that's not getting any use? Looking for one or similar small slow wing for red fuse for river foiling. Tried the 760 (and a larger wing) this past weekend & it worked but a bit too big for current high/fast flow. I'm in Washington State. Mahalo!

Wow, those look sweet & fast! Nice build. Hope you get to test sometime soon when weather gets better. Very curious to hear how they work and what foils you try out.

Admin- your boards are looking good! One question for you... how are you planning to hold on to the board when getting up on foil? My (limited) experience w/ boogie foiling is that it's essential to be able to grab onto something, either a rail or a handle like on Sam's yellow board. With the thicker rails similar to a prone paddleboard, might be easy to have something... a indention handhold, handle or to grab. For me, getting up on foil happens with weight transfer towards the back of the board & both hands grabbing the rail to help "lift up" the nose as the foil rises. Steering and turning can be done by shifting weight but it's nice to be able to hold a rail & lean into turns. Here's a few pics of Sam doing what he does on a short (less than 4' long) boogie foil. (pics D Nakamaru).

Those are looking sweet! Can't wait to see them finished and hear how they work for you both.

Will be following your board design and build closely as I'm interested in a similar thing for Puget Sound Dw's. One thing to pay attention to will be where you put your arms and hands when up on foil. When paddling, it's easy w/ a narrow board to just have them over the sides like a prone paddle board. Once flying, you may want some form of handhold or handle to be able to control the nose (which will be a lot longer than a boogie foil) and steer. On my board, it's wide enough and has a blunt nose so I can just grip it or the rails. One of my custom boards that Sam helped design has 3 handles: two at the rails and one on the nose. Those help for steering as well also provide something to grip and carry the board which is not light w/ the foil on. I'd imagine your foil mast will be in the last 1/4 of the board but not too close to the tail since it'll have a lot of nose length. In looking at photos of Sam and myself, the mast is usually under our thighs, with the majority of our body leaning forward. On your design, the extra length will be nice for paddle speed and getting up quickly. Once up in the air tho, it may be more conducive to longer, drawn out turns vs quick carves due to swing wt. On boogie foil, since almost all of our lower body is off the board (in air), we end up raising our legs to provide leverage and force the weight to shift forward. You can also pump & shift weight by lifting and lowering legs. Sorry, I don't have any video of that (mostly use a mouth-mount GoPro). Agree with all that power-assisted flight would be cool! And a way to get back in case there's no shuttle.

Have a good DW run... looks like a straight shot through, great w/ north winds! Would like to join you sometime Lee. Checked out golden gardens early this morning. Brisk north wind around 30 mph, looked like nice waves for DW. 2 kiters were out near the point... one guy getting some big air, the other zipping back and forth surfing the chest high waves.
