Little stumpy! Love it!  
@superlefax: Is it worth the hassle to go that small, do you feel you gain enough of something? (What?)

I think that it should read **cm** and not mm.

The thought of a backpack battery unit is hilarious. Cable bundle going down your leg into the mast. I love it lol.

Also the most dangerous thing on this forum.

Q: “Hey, where did that guy go when he fell off that efoil?”

A: “Straight to the bottom.” 😂

PFD, fire proof case and sub 3kg battery and the risk is gone… I was proposing an experiment, not a 14s14p backpack hahaha.  
I suppose I could strap a mini case to the nose of the board…

I wanted it to be as purist as possible. You don’t need more material. The batteries are directly in front of the mast. This results in very good maneuverability. It is lighter and more compact. This makes it much more transportable, of course.  
I have the complete board including foil and the propulsion unit in a small wakeboard bag. It makes in my eyes just no sense to build it longer unless you are too heavy.

This 99cm efoil board designed by Volker akka @V_S relaunches the challenge.  
The takeoff is worth looking at.
