Why do you want a front strap "surf" position ? It is not a surfboard but a hydrofoil :D Once back when starting 4 years ago, I thought the single frontstrap was good for waves and fun - I don't think so anymore. If it was a crossover board, of course it could be needed, but it is not. Maybe if you...

At 3:11 you can clearly see where the holes are in the Nobile Split board for their own foil.

I had bolted my original Fish Foil to a Victoria Skim Board and it worked quite well until I almost snapped the skim board completely in half and lost the foil. My goal in life is to find a board that will get me up and planing in the lightest wind possible (100kg!!) so I can then pop onto the foil...

Hi all, I was very interested when Nobile first announced the skimboard foil concept. I have never seen any on the water, apart from in the promo video, so wondered if anyone has any actual experience of using the skimboard with a foil? I also see that now the board shape outline is completely diffe...

My personal preference at the moment is my 25m line set for foiling. I tried my 21m set on a windier day than normal, but couldn't ...

I use both. Short mast - mine is 40cm You are less likely to fall onto the mast or wings if you fall off the downwind side of the board with a short mast - less scary start to foiling. Useful in shallow water spots when wind is light - water is normally smooth then anyway! Control of flying is criti...
