Looks fantasic. Nice Job. What kind of underwater connection between surfer and boat did you use? Carbonrod? ---

The mast is getting a streamlined part to slide down over the round carbon tube to stop the spray off the back. A push on tail fin to improve tracking, i can have a bigger one to hand if this one is too small. A lot of foils have rolled down outer edges, anheadral, what does it do? Guessing it gives more lift. ---

It would need to be light too. ---

Stan was my first try at wake foiling behind my scratch built RC rib. I’ve given him a safety line in case he lets go of the wing. 😉 ---

Better to show you still photos to keep the illusion going. Today it’s Katerina to try with her much larger wing, light winds forecast probably just as well for her first try. ---

She can hold it in different positions, so i am expecting great things front this one. Should get a good film for YouTube. ---
