Re: Northwave Surflite 2K x 5 quiver. $100

I'll take them when I'm in town at the end of the month. I quite like my NW stuff and I could use some lake sails.

There isn't any real current, just swim/walk.

Re: Your opinion of Starboard foil set?

Not for $1000, that's an old foil.

Re: Wanted 85 L FSW windsurf board

There is an 86L Tabou 3S for sale in Vancouver. Not mine but they are a very good board.

Axis did make a windfoil fuselage at some point.

Re: Windfoil/Wingfoil compatibility

The geometry is definitely very different. I personally wouldn't waste the time.

If you want to wing then wing.

Re: 2nd Wing board options

70L in a mid length should be quite easy.

Re: kids sails

I've got a complete set of the Ezzy 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 you can have.

Considering getting rid of my Starboard Start as well but it's rather large.

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion

80cm is borderline, 60cm is way too short. Wind speed doesn't change that.

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion

I think you're butting your head against an unbalanced foil setup Kus. Not excess front wing size or anything else other than a fuselage too short and wing too far back.
Board too small if uphauling is difficult, should be dead easy with a foil under you.

Re: Vehicles for wing foilers

I'm driving a truck after years of wagons. Mainly because I want to keep wet stuff in a different part of the vehicle from where the people go.
6' bed and canopy go a long way.

Re: How to explain island winter sailing to your friends?

I think that's the only day I've gone for a back loop (not on film). CB is so fun when it's good.

Re: Skywalker seeks Board and Foil

I'm selling a board that would be a good starter.
https://www.nspsurfboards.com/product/f ... -foil-pro/
101L version. Easy board and fairly efficient.
$800 with a bag.
I'm currently out of the country but I'll be back in a few weeks.

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion

Mast position does matter though, you lose a lot of directional stability having it too far forward. It's just that is slightly less important than getting the front wing between your feet or slightly forward from that.

Why not just go winging rather than trying to windfoil with a marginal set-up.

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion

The thing is you kind of need the different fuselage dimensions to make each work. I've gone as far as machining custom fuselages to get foils to ride correctly.
Even harder when you don't know what correct looks like.

Something like a Slingshot PTM926 with both fuselages would be a good investment ...
