Re: Need help with one-hand unhook

Been out in stormy 10-25knots on the 10m and tried the one handed railey/ one handed railey to blind (grab). I’ve approached the trick as following; -Riding in with good speed, as if you were attempting a standard railey (not too slow). -Index and middle finger of your front hand crossing over the d...

Re: Race - Foilboard Design

Thank for your feedback guys, expecially SpunMonkey. SpunMonkey I assume you mean from boardcenter to inner footstrap insert =1.75", correct? How much nose rocker would you guys reckon? Good to know that one footstrap on the backfoot will do the job... Otherwise please don't take my rought hand scet...

Re: Need help with one-hand unhook

Hey DangerLifter! I always thought the Indy glide to blind looked sick and I remember seeing videos of Andre Phillip, Aaron Hadlow and Keahi De Aboitiz pulling them off. As for your one-handed-railey, I would definatelly start with your 12m kite as this one turns slower. Consider using a slower turn...

Race - Foilboard Design

Hi everyone, I'm planing on building a race - foilboard in polystyrene and epoxy to go with the Moses Vo-Race. At this stage I'd appreciate if someone could advice the overall length + width and the distances between the footstraps from your experiences. You can refer to the handscetch below if you ...

Re: Board - Mast attachment

Thank you zfennell for your kind reply. My glas schedule ended up 2 layers of 6oz on the top and 2 layers of 6oz on the bottom + 1 layer of 4oz on the bottom. It definatelly feels solid and I am not worried about breaking it. With the next boards I will try to strip down on the weight slightly but o...

Re: Board - Mast attachment

Hi everyone, I've finished the mast attachment and I've been glassing the board. I layed up 2 layers of 6.5 oz on the top and bottom (epoxy) with the additional reinforcement on the front foot. It looks solid but I'm not sure how strong it has to be, can anyone advice? Thinking of adding another 4oz...

Re: Board - Mast attachment

Thanks again for your great suggestions! AHMTHAI, you are right its pretty strong with the 6mm marine ply wood, just some material I had in the shed. My local store is selling 3mm, yet it looked to flimsy to be honest. You'll be screaming overkill in a second when I give you my final spec. After all...

Re: Board - Mast attachment

Thank everyone for your excellent suggestions! Shaping the board came pretty natural to me but when it came down to the board mast attachment I was simply leaking knowledge on the structural requirements in foil boarding. Saying that, I have given your suggestions a good thought and have started bui...
