Hi. I've been foiling exclusively for 4 years. I've been on lift foils for the past 3 years and love them. I have the 110, 130 and 170 - all fantastic. I recently purchased the lift 150 and 200 2-piece surf foil for travel. My first day with the 200 I mounted it on a small Kanaha Shapes super light pocket board. The foil will not sink and it was an issue. It was a high wind day and after wiping out the foil took off on it's side at ~8 to 10 knots. I body dragged for 20 minutes trying to catch it but couldn't. It was close to 40 minutes before I could retrieve it and it never sank. Thank God I had my boat so I could retrieve it.
Any ideas? I'd love to use the bigger wing. Is it only possible with a heavy board that will force it down? That would suck as I prefer light, simplistic boards. Open to any ideas.
