Re: Foil quick mount

Why would one like to change track position once out? If you have different sized frontwings and different trim, you set the position before you go out. Even with footstraps no issue, in fact maybe even easier. Because as Bragnouff said, it doesnt take long till you know where each frontwing/foil tr...

Re: Foil quick mount

True - having tools is never an issue. On this point we are very different. I prefer just to have a small short unbrako one size, as it works for all kite and wing foil screws for me. But apart from that, always carry a full set of tools and lines and bridle lines and tape and fibreglass and epoxy a...

Re: Foil quick mount

I have chosen a 1 screw box for my kitefoils (masts and flyers always assembled), and leave the wingfoil on the board in the car, only change frontwings or base position if needed on a given day. Yes we are lazy, but once the fast solutions have been used for some time, almost impossible to go back ...

Re: Foil quick mount

Disagree... I have never seen anyone being able to assemble a board to baseplate in 1 minute or less in a track with loose T nuts. Sometimes it takes quite some time to get the T nuts placed correctly, and if one slides a bit it is a PITA and they might have to remove again to get it right. So when ...

Re: Hydrofoil bolts

Agree, drill or saw them out/off.

You can probably ride just fine with 3 bolts yes but why not fix it so you can take it apart?

Re: "Spin-out" with SabFoil Medusa Pro 869?

120 mm root chord. So, 0.118. Still a smaller number than your Gong (0.122). My point was simply that I don't think anyone who's held and felt a Medusa Pro would call it a "thick" foil. But anyways all of these measurements only give you a ballpark idea and it's pointless to use the numbers to tell...

Re: What size kit recommendations for 14 year old beginner

I think it could work yes.

An inflatable 100 litre board is big, but no problem and inflatables ARE usually chosen bigger than rigid boards, no problem.

I would just go for this combo and see how it goes :thumb:

Re: "Spin-out" with SabFoil Medusa Pro 869?

And what is the relative thickness?

Thickness/Chord is key as the absolute thickness is not important.

Re: "Spin-out" with SabFoil Medusa Pro 869?

Snip... @Peter, you can't compare the 869 to another wing with same size/dimensions and a different shape/camber etc. When I tested the 869 first time I was genuinely surprised that it had more lift than my North MA1200. Top speed I couldn't test unfortunately. I almost agree with you... But have f...
