Re: What gps tracker are people using?

Does this watch actually have a GPS as many of the android wear watch use a linked phone GPS, with the exception of the Sony smartwatch and moto360 sport which is surprisingly only IP67, so only land sports. It wasn't clear from the nixon web page that it had a internal standalone GPS, or maybe I mi...

Re: Too late for inflatables in racing?

If you look at the the registration page for the SF gold cup race they did have a inflato class. In the results there is an I next to some of the racers so I assume that is for inflatos. Top finish was 13 out 34 in the B fleet , none in the A fleet so certainly not competitive at a top pro levels as...

Re: Inflatable foilboard

Since you only need stiffness between your feet and the foil maybe this part could be stiff (A big carbon plate?) and then all volume that helps with touch down transitions could be inflatable

Re: Hydrofoils singing ?

My Aguera was singing just a tiny bit, and then it started getting worse after a few months. I noticed the trailing edge of the mast was actually wearing down from the vibration and had become rounded. It was not rounded at the top and the bottom, only a round the water line.

Re: Tuttle Box Shifting

I had a tuttle box that my foil was going a bit too deep into and shimmed it front and back with strips cut from a beer can. Also used to use these for windsurfing fins and works very well.

A good shimming material that tends to be available at most beaches :)
