Got a longer screw and now can easily remove the rotor from the stator. Got some fresh bearings in the post today so will swap them out soon.
Have had about 15 sessions now and stoked to be riding some waves at my local!
I’ve been on my mid length board which is a bit clunky so just picked up a second hand 50L axis FD board, and now looking to mount the box on it.
For all those who have played with multiple configurations, what do you reckon is the better placement?
With box on board I had most luck in front of front foot to one side on an angle but once you try a box in board setup you won’t go back 
It gets in the way at the back as you’re lying on it with that board volume. The main annoyance with it up the front to the side is the weight throws the board to one side which is mostly noticed when pumping.
I’ve been box in board for a while and am now trying a battery in backpack option…
Cheers for the tips!
This is a stepping stone to a box in board setup but I’m too much of a cheap ass to get a custom board made at the moment, especially while still working on my skills.
I’ll definitely look to get one at some point once I’ve figured out what dimensions work best for me. I heard some guys are getting boards made by Jshapes and Carbon Art so I’m interested to hear how they perform.
Good to see a few kiwis active. Im in waikanae and built an efoil and beginning a second. Good luck
