Wow, fantastic job!

Very beautiful, how thick is yours? What wood is made of? What is its weight? Thanks It is made from a glued wood plank, thickness is 18mm, I have made the edges and the nose thinner, also slight concave in the middle. The wood, I believe, is fir. On both sides I have thin fiberglass cloth in epoxy...

I bought this mast together with the M Pro Clear wing and 40cm surf stab, and I am very happy with my choice. I am about 80kg, the w...

They do have kitefoils on their website https://www.gong-galaxy.com/en/category-product/foil-en/kitefoil-en/kitefoil-en-kitefoil-en/ .
