Re: Beginner Board Volume for Kitefoiler

Yes, you can get by with a smaller board, but why? Problem is, you NEED a board bigger in volume than your weight, when learning, period. So much easier and more fun and faster learning. And no matter what, you WILL have to change down to a smaller board when learned. So it sounds nice to get "one ...

2021 Contra One Strut 11m Light Wind

Does anyone have any experience on using a Contra 11m mono strut for light wind hydrofoiling? Should it be ok in 8knots+ with a large 1200cm^2 foil?

Any reason why you think it won't work? Both single line flagout, both low split, even the pigtails are the same.
