Is there a US dealer for the Sword? Are they still more expensive than the rest of the competition?
What's up with the attachment system? That won't fit in a tuttle box, will it?

The attachment does look different from The standard Tuttle system. It finally shortened the front fuselage, but still need to get rid of the rostrum and smooth out the connections between wings and fuselage.

Hi Ludovic.
I just went to the taaroa webpage to find out more about the two different style boxes, but could not see any details.
Do you still have the plate fixation (4 bolts) ?
I will be foiling with Remi these coming days : )

Is probox used elsewhere in the industry?
Or is this another new idea by a manufacturer to make sure we don't have compatibility with other manufacturers?

I can see where this is going.
Don't even think of using that old board that you had earmarked for a foil,
You'll have to get a special board for your foil : ( : ( : (

Hi
This box was designed by "Select"
http://www.select-hydrofoils.com/en/
Tutle has been used from beginning by many foil's manufacturer because nothing else was available at this moment.
However if you have test it you know that it's hard to plug and unplug, so we decid to use a box more appropriate.
because we want customers to have the choice, you can choose tutle or probox.
We are also making an adapter to plug a tutle foil in a probox board.... coming soon....
Regards
