I have carbon two-piece wave board - a vanguard style board made by newind. The newer ones have foil mounting holes pre-installed. The maker says he can adapt it me (requires a spacer because of the large concave in the board) but I'd need to decide on position and spacing.
The things that make this tricky are my inexperience and the fact that I don't want something that won't work when I eventually upgrade my foil. Pretty impossible really, but maybe I can get something reasonable.
For position I would guess that my current position relative to front foot is probably OK (based on putting the centre of the wing at the mid-point between foot positions). If I eventually ride strapless (currently just a front foot hook) then I suppose it will not be so critical as long as the mast is not too far back. Is there any general advice for mast placement?
For the plate there are several possible holes Threaded 8M at 148x68mm, or unthreaded 6mm holes at 160x85, 165x90, 140x90
Which one would be the best bet? Or maybe the whole idea is not sensible?
