Hi guys,
I'm looking for a single board to take on holidays that can use for kite surf and foiling. I have a Moses 91cm mast and 633W wing currently and would like recommendations on a hybrid board (that I can put straps on if needed). What would you recommend. I'm 6' 4" and 220lb - I have been foiling for about 15 sessions so very new. Currently I have a Moses T65 as board.
Thank you!
G.

I have no experience with convertible surf board but with a the old cab double agent that could be used a wake skate.
My recommendation would be to look for the best surf board shape/volume you can find.
The foiling experience isn’t going to be great on a crossover board (to big, to much swing weight) so try to find/get something that is at least a decent surf board (assuming those exist).
This way it is not a super waste that you will never touch again when back home.

Go with a slingshot converter or the like.
