Looking for advice before moving on to a build

Yo, not gonna lie, your current setup might be kinda sus. The board’s so small you’d have to lie down on it just to get gliding before you stand up, plus that battery box is totally in the way. I’d 100% go for a cheap inflatable board like I did (mine was $290 + $60 shipping). It’s super light, doesn’t mess with your turns, and is mad easy to lug around. Check out my threads for the deets: Components guide for DIY eFoil and Russian­­­­͏­­­. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!
