Re: Alex Morales (Tillo) on foils and Miami races

That is one good looking foil - very well thought out. In case anyone is tempted

949,00 € tax incl. FREERIDE / PERFORMANCE FOIL UPGRADABLE FRONT WING AND VERTICAL FIN AVAILABLE WITH TUTTLE / DEEP TUTTLE OR KF BOX ADAPTER Due to massive orders, we are not able anymore to take any other orders. Stay tuned on this product for another possible delivery date that we will update next week. Thanks for your comprehension

Too bad the dollar has lost 10% against the euro in the last 6 months. For some reason, I think those vertical tail fins will show up more on race foils.

Eleven of the top sixteen were on foils.

Weed foil?

CV, any mention of the size sails they were running? I think that Steve Sylvester has a lot of input into the boards Alex is building. From USA4's blog, Xavier is the big dog in local racing out there.

What happened to Vesper (15th)? He was 2nd in race 1 followed by a DNF and two DNCs.

SF Bay Challenge - winds 25-30. Steve Bodner was doing it on a 9m kite. The kites smoked this year with the winner, Nico Parlier, cutting off 15 min from the previous record.

Another take on foiling: Windsup foiling https://reefwarriors.wordpress.com/2017/08/02/windsurfing-wave-foiling/

The foil he uses: https://gofoil.com/product/maliko-foil-with-tuttle-box-plus-shipping/ This is supposed to get a big guy up at 4-8 mph board speed. If I win the lottery, I'm going to buy one of these or the big Mako. It's not my first choice as that big wing would be draggy and a PITA in high winds but I'd love to explore the low wind side of things.

Re: Alex Morales (Tillo) on foils and Miami races

Interesting take on racing on a foil. Short version: Foil with 9.0 is faster around race course than Formula with 12.5 - like, a lot. Shok

For the foil-inclined, a lot of good stuff on Starboard foils, racing, board width, etc. Crappy sound because of the wind but worthwhile.
