Re: light wind surfboard VS foil board

The closest I can get to foilboards is my North Nugget 2013. Slightly more technical than the ones with narrower tail that followed, but can get going in 7-8 knots with a Sonic 15 when the tide is getting too low.

I second Peter's comment. Except his suggestion that the water might be cold where he rides. :lol:
See you soon Oyvind. :cool2:

I didn't preorder one. I preordered two. And I'm afraid I might end up with none. :jump:

We are getting super close to our shipping date - just a matter of weeks! Until then, here are some more important updates. New Partnerships In order to...
