I can pump a little for help staying on a wave, but I don't get close to enough forward momentum to fly 50 feet without help from wave power.  I can't find any video's of Takuma foils being pumped back out or  pumped on flat water.  The videos showing this are mostly Go foils, or Naish.

Foil SUP / 8'0" L41
« on: October 03, 2017, 07:14:29 PM »
Hi,
After 6 sessions I can foil OK but I just can't stand on my board in any chop, so I am looking for a more stable board.
Would a Simsup L41 8'0" by 32" by 4.5" 135 liter be stable when just standing in the chop?  Thanks.

Foil SUP / Attaching plate mount with through bolts?
« on: September 14, 2017, 03:09:50 PM »
My foilmount is delaminating the bottom skin of my board after two sessions, maybe because i punched eight holes in the bottom of my board by using bolts which were too long. :-[

Since I know where I want the foil, I am thinking the easiest option, as I have no skills, will be to just bolt the foil to the board.

 How will I stop the board from collapsing when I tighten the bolts?  Can I just epoxy in four pvc pipes from bottom to top of board?  Maybe put big washers on top to spread the load?

Thanks

Foil SUP / bent Takuma mast
« on: September 04, 2017, 12:52:48 PM »
Hi,  Lot's of great info on here, thanks for that.

I bent the mast on my Takuma, do I need to replace?  Is it possible to bend it back?  Anybody been in this situation and fixed it?  I'll probably try to ride it like this but I expect catching waves with the twist in the mast might make it more difficult.
