Any thought to long boarding like a Kona One? It moves along nicely in non planing conditons and can sail it nearly anywhere. It has a step tail that will enable it to plane, not as nimble as a shor ... |

EVA deck was shot so stripped it off and applied an after market pad while trying to mimic the look of the new Kona One. Had to improvise a bit with the graphics available online…. |

Thanks for that. I hate pumping and have always sucked at it but it does seem instrumental in getting up on the foil in 10-12 knots. I'm getting a little better with each session but a good lesson ... |

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try sheeting in and pulling down a bit with the forward arm and that did help. On the day I was struggling, I should have gone to a smaller front wing but was too ... |

Dang - over 100 jibes?! I guess I better stop procrastinating and start working on getting my first. Very impressive accomplishment! How do you like that big mast? Feeling a little puny with my 8 ... |
