THat is a crazy shape man. I love that foiling has thrown the rule book out the window as far as what is surfable and the difference between a board that's made to plane and one that is a launching pad basically.

Can't wait to see this one on the water.

had a good go at it today, the board barely doesnt float and the bouyant foil is a bit of a c**t so you have to hold on to the dock to start and be super calm while paddling. i took the straps off which made the baby steps heaps easier then put them back on once i could actually paddle the thing. coordinating a good paddle stroke with a good foot pump is the next issue!
got seriously close to lift off on flat water with zero wind but there was no one around to film it, hopefully tomorrow

forgot to add, yesterday getting towed onto it (via running down the dock with towline) was with the rear foil lifting and set at what i thought looked like zero degrees.
today i put it up the usual way and it felt alot more powerful in the pumps and no less efficient
