King's, "King Tut" deep tuttle box install on a 7'8" SIMSup

[Newps]

Received my board back from King’s with the “King Tut” deep tuttle box installed.  The install looks great and should be super strong.  Dave recommended foot straps, fili and glassing over the handle.  I elected to go with the straps but decided to keep the handle.  I want to be able to still use this as a regular paddle surfboard.  Without the handle, carrying this would have been a major pain.  Very happy that I have the handle now.  The last two days I was learning to foiling on some of King's test foiling boards.  I did not like the front strap for paddle foiling.  I need to move my feet around when catching a wave and the strap was always in the way.  It’s possible I may like them when I get better or being towed...so who knows.  I should get my King's foil in a few days.  Can’t wait, totally hooked.  I love a new challenge and this looks to be very promising.

Man, that is nice work. I saw one of Dave's out at Topanga yesterday and he's really got his finger in his paddler's needs. Dude had a 8'6" x29 that was super low volume and just tuned right.

Can't wait to see the video man!
