FOIL BUILD

Image
 some build shots of my first attempt at a foil (interesting to say the least)

COUPLE OF MINI FLASHPOINTS

FLASHPOINT

Image
 classic flashpoint... this design will never die...single concave throughout and full length cine rail.. the design has a few little tweeks here and there but is still basically the original design... the concave giving speed and the chine lifting the rail off the bottom to avoid catching....while locking into the face through the turn.  classic flashpoint pintail... wide point aft...turns on a dime and compliments the concave chine bottom.

FREE RANGE FOIL

Image
 5'1 x 21 1/2"z 3"   my first purpose built foil board... has come in at 43.75 litres.... paddles really well and seems to have all the design features needed to improve my foiling.. I think I have overbuilt it a little so it's a little heavy though it doesn't bother me,( not at my level anyway)  the bowl in the nose works great, it lets me push forward on the nose when taking off without catching or pearling which is a huge bonus when learning  heavy cine through the tail so it doesn't suck on the wave through touch downs

RE VAMPED COCOON

Image
 5'6"x 19 3/4"x 2 3/8"   the newly re vamped cocoon is carrying more volume thanks to a slightly concave deck that moves the volume out towards the rail, coming in at 33.6 litres  bottom shape is a fairly heavy concave with a chine rail through the tail, I have accentuated the edge of the chine giving the rail more bite and speed  Ulik has been testing the new design in Bali with great success.... designed for small waves he has been pushing it in conditions over what it was originally designed for and the board has not let him down.
