OKkiteboarder - great video!

Curious - did you experiment with your mast position much or shims?

Noticed you have it all the way forward on your Axis tray board in the video.

Yes I moved it back a bit and shimmed it. I feel that it reduced some of the nose pitch and distributed a little more balanced back foot pressure by doing so. One problem though with the small T1 baseplate is that it may not span beyond the tnut grooves for proper tuning. So the back screws may have to be put further posterior than optimal.

I had my first 2 hour Session on the Triton V1. Wind was approximately 20 kts, .5 m waves. I have watched all the videos on how to ride the TV1 which helped to prepare me. I got up immediately on Foil and didn't fall for the first 30 minutes. I found it 'easy' to ride. To me it felt like having a large Foil underfoot but:

it wanted some power from the kite (lower stall speed to what I typically ride)
I found it stable
Transitions were as tight as I could make them
Downwind speed (I have yet to find it's limit, any other Foil I have would have imploded)

My set-up

!10 cm Pocket board
90 cm mast
Positioned mast 1 cm back (compred to my other Foils)
Stance (Back foot slightly further forward)

I think the possibilities for 'playing around' on this Foil are endless and I will continue to explore its capabilities.

If you are an Intermediate to Advanced Foiler then the TV1 should be on your Radar.

Their moniker should be "Make Foiling Fun Again" ;)

Can use with Moses carbon mast? Need some adapter

Or can use only with aluminium mast?
Thanku

Sure thing. We have a boom proof carbon adapter to connect your Moses mast (but not the new Kraken) to the T1 monofoil. Link here:
