Re: Rare proto model
Looks like somebody stole metal sculpture in the nearby park, brought it to the beach, and was compelled to hack foot bindings on top of it. Modern art in its finest form.

Re: Rare proto model
2 STRUTS, NOT NEEDED! 
Excess drag! Inhibits turning!
Maybe with one and having seen underside profile MIGHT merit test?

Re: Rare proto model
Hello, I am the owner, builder and designer of this board. The picture was taken in Progreso, Yucatán, Mexico (where I am from, live, kite and test this prototype); it is work in progress and would like for it not be public yet, even if (I have to admit) it gives me grate curiosity to see what people in this forum think.
I can say that it has some good riding characteristics and others that I want to improve.

Re: Rare proto model
Thanks Geron for your reply.
Your model looks nice, disruptive and innovative.
How does it perform? Do you have any video?
I guess you took Nomad bindings from a kiteboard.
It's a dream for most of non hydrofoil kiters a bidireccional hydrofoil becoming a reality.
Good luck with the design.

Re: Rare proto model
Thanks, a video is due; I can already ride in it. This is the v3, you should have seen v1... jaja
There are unexpected good sorprices and other not so good; it is always grate to be able to build and try oneself. Also, I am sure that I would learn allot from a discusión here, just not quite ready yet.

Re: Rare proto model
I hope you have videos of all versions!
Would be fun to see the development you go thru.
Like a documentary. Priceless footage
How far are you away from releasing more info?
