@samisin for some reason my comment didn’t attach to the correct part of the thread. I was asking about the chinese board manufacturer. My big question in my build right now is which board to use (I have Gong M kitefoil) and the right board is tough to find. If you had to do it over, how would you go about getting your board?

Honestly I would go with Waydoo and do my improvements on that. I purchased the board from a Chinese company which was a disaster and I had to do lot of work on the lid ,sealing, and foil mount.  
Maybe Flying Rodeo could sell you a complete board. Or if you want to go the hard path just do your own cut and make the board yourself. Plus I would go with not bigger than 50" size board.

I just saw I recommended going with Waydoo instead of doing your onw DIY. Thing has been changed there have been serious safety issues with Waydoo battery you can find details here:

> [@Waydoo Battery Safety Concerns](https://foil.zone/t/waydoo-battery-safety-concerns/11498/101):
>
> The core of this argument is the design of the parts. If the pics are from a waydoo battery (which i believe they are) then the design is at the same or lower level than most builds here. It would be good enough when you only put yourself at risk in a diy build but not OK to sell to the public. It’s as simple as that for most of us, we wouldn’t be able to take responsibility for a battery like the pictured one.

Please do your research and be aware of the risks either way

Leave some of the front edge of the mast would make it much stronger
