I think it depends on where you go. We have a few regattas on the US East Coast every year with 20-30 racers and no one is pro level.tkaraszewski wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 4:34 amKitefoil racing is essentially all at the Grand Prix level.
Yeah, that is unfortunate. I wish there was a way to keep the guys at the back of the fleet interested. The good thing about racing is even when you're in the back, you can still have fun racing the guys around you, but it is tough to keep coming back if you are getting lapped by the top guys every race.tkaraszewski wrote: I’ve raced boats in national competitions against former America’s Cup sailors and finished 40th out of 50, and it’s just not that fun when nearly the whole fleet is pros that are above your league.
Yup I'll be there!ThistleSailorKC wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 3:32 amDave- making F2B this year?
This one is based off George's foil. Think he designed it, no? Any idea if its the same shape, less stiff due to the modulus of the carbon? near identical? He seems to be really really dialed in with his new stuff.
It uses a Pro Box, which is wider than Tuttle and stiffer as a result. Powerbox is a windsurfing conical box with a single screw.davesails7 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 12:01 pmYup I'll be there!ThistleSailorKC wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 3:32 amDave- making F2B this year?

They couldn't use high modulus carbon for the outside layer, so they made the strut slightly thicker. That actually made it stiffer than his previous foils. He really liked it so he now builds all of his foils that way with a slightly thicker strut. It's definitely a good fast foil
From what I saw, the other difference is it uses power box instead of Tuttle box.
Oops! I meant pro box.Gonzolinho wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 9:35 pmWTF! another box entering the scene?Cab Driver wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 8:03 pmIt uses a Pro Box, which is wider than Tuttle and stiffer as a result. Powerbox is a windsurfing conical box with a single screw.
Will there be an adaptor for plate mount? The board looks interesting
One of the best or even the best inflatable I've been riding with hydrofoil!Gonzolinho wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 9:33 pmIt is. It's the Velocity. Still a great kite after all these years.
