Thanks revhed,

for keeping the list up to date. :thumb:
I think if there are small brands trying to do commercials with the shown douptful statements, thats one thing.

But it is more disappointing that there are still some big brands selling shitty super basic products for an even to high price, just as they may think it is necessary to offer everything.
Would be better to be so honest for a company to tell that you are not interested in this style and you have no experience as other big brands do, who have decided to stay within their known product lines.
Always disapointing to see people who have fallen into the trap to buy such a toy, which just holds the sport back. :-?

There is another Australian brand as well.

www.konradboarding.com

They have an alloy kite foil called the Versa.

This is a new surf foil that is coming very soon.

Quite interesting in fact RH, if you can get a better low end, and still ride in shallow spots :thumb:

Not interesting for the typical kite foiler no, but for TT riders that want better low end not needing huge kites maybe?

SPACESTICK
convertible surf/foil boards

Volcano / basalt built

Basalt cloth / epoxy
Eps core
Hand built in the USA near Seattle Washington

Using some of Teslas technology (basalt used for bumpers)
Basalt is stronger and lighter than carbon fiber.
Basalt fibers are made from volcanic rock

Boards all come with CushTech aero skin and urethane coated rails
Futures or FCS fin boxes

No dings

Even when basalt glass cracks there is zero water absorption as the skin doesnt allow it.
Skin tears or cuts can be repaired with over the counter urethane sealer.

Double stringer
6.5 lbs (5’3 micro convertible with tri fin and foil tracks)

Basalt cloth is 6/6 top and 6 oz bottom with reinforcement around futures or fcs fin boxes.

A carbon fiber plate is exposed for solid mounting of the foil.
(the only place there is no CushTech skin)

Taking orders for winter production

Pity they are invisible to anybody who does not want to log into Instagram. I get enough social media spams. Another social network is just overload.
