Masts : (...) the mounting holes do not run through the full-length, so not easy to cut down.

How did you guess that ? A screwdriver in the screw hole ?

Any chance you have an adapter in the works that will work with alu mast on the Lift Foil? That exists here but not sure you can get it separately... When asked politely, everything is possible :wink: :wink: If not, as it looks like a small KF box (ie tapered on the 4 faces), replicate the original...

The north speedster felt kind of springy to my crew due to the flex of the wing,

Dear kiteboarding company, I think it would be nice if you give me the results of all your development work for free.. that way I don't have to buy your product. Freeloader :roll: That's very 20th century in fact and unlikely to happen. In 2019, it is more fascinating than that and sad somehow. In ...

(...) Then there is this part inside us trying to understand how things work. That's how Spotz HF and...

@Bruno. Congratulations for your good work opening a new trail.
