Had some good advice already from some of the guys including Frederic who is using a similar airush race board. But was also interested in other people’s experiences with similar length boards.
hey, nice board, I read on the forum that the axis of the mat is 25% of the length of the board, from the back.
45 cm in your case.
to check nevertheless.
Thanks guys, very useful. I’m wondering if a flat tail versus a pointed tail like the KRace or stepped tail like some of the newer Monaros makes a difference. I see some of the designs with flat tails seem to have the mast further back
you can’t really be too far back as your back foot will be on top of the mast, right behind it at max.
wether it’s for kite foil or electric foil, i ride with both feet in front of the mast.
I’m just wondering if for electric foil, having a “longer tail” behind the mast helps the board stay flat before take off…
I have read an interview with Fanatics foil developer and he stated that the position of the fin box is the optimal position of the foil too. He also stated that for that reason they designed the center of lift to be much further in front compared to a kite foil where the fins are not that far in the back.
So kite or windsurfing foil could make a difference.
For the moment, I’m using a slingshot dialer 130 windsurf foilboard, and I can say that the position of the box is not ideal, the board is very deep in the water before foiling.
