sure, the difference is that I build and sell foils for 3 years for zeeko brand without any such bad notoriety!

I would have absolutely no worries about ordering from Renaud.

He has been in the game for a long time and I have seen his work. It is excellent!

I plan to order the Arrow in the new year.

I'd be interested in knowing where it ships from, for tax purposes. Indeed UAE or somewhere else? Thanks

Agree, he is one of the major contributors to the high perfomance and build quality we see nowadays, well, since the start of the performance era, on hydrofoils !

They look SICK (good, for non native english), both of them, and reasonable prices now, compared to some :naughty:

Yes it ships from uae.

At present our online shop.does not provides automatic shipping calculation but you can directly mail me for quotes.
I will fix this in the coming 10 days.

PF, you couldn't be more right. Here is his first design of the MANTA stamped ....2010 3rd of June

And here is Mr C's complacent reaction discovering a CATIA 3D drawing for the first time in his life:
Mr C aka 'Invite' wrote:RENAUDBARBIER,

THE FUNNY THING ABOUT YOUR CAD DRAWING IS YOU HAVE THE STAR OF DAVID ON THE VERY TIP OF THE LEADING EDGE!!!

SOMETHING I WOULD NEVER IMAGINE COMING OUT OF DUBAI.

WHAT IS ALSO FUNNY IS NOTHING IN YOUR DRAWING IS YOUR CREATION. YOU HAVE TAKEN CARAFINO AND BLADE RIDER AND TRIED TO MAKE A PURE BRED MIX BREED HYDROFOIL.
Renaud, since June 2009, you've been one of the Kitefoilforum solid pillars with more than 800 posts, very interesting prototypes which in 2012 became the Zeeko Makaira.
Wishing you all the best for 2015 :thumb: :thumb:

Actually my first design was back in 2003 (full aluminum foil made from boat parts) it did fly a bit but not enough to continue.

Thanks Europ2 for your wishes

What are the foot strap options for the ProRace and Zeeko (ie. Tri, Bi, Combo)?
