Oooh!  Saw this on Seabreeze https://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Stand-Up-Paddle/Foiling/Wingfoil-Wing-Design-on-Maui .  That is clean boom solution.

I like this design -- gets around the need for the line the Echo uses to keep the wing's shape.  This looks simple and clean.

Yup.  That is close enough.  Looks really solid,  a single carbon tube should keep it nice and light and it looks like it would inflate on so we could see super small packed sizes and one bar could be used across a range of sizes.  Come on F-One.  Join the party.

That does look nice, would just like to see a little more clearance from the strut.

Anybody else experiencing knuckle damage? Now at least I seem to be getting calluses but initially I was getting abrasion from the strut.

Yes, but I'd not heard anyone else getting it so assumed it was me, or the wing, or both...

Me too on the Ozone when I forget to wear gloves.  I think I get it when flying the wing depowered.
