And here is what my thoughts are on what I would want out of a prone surf foiling board/light wind wing foiling board.
Needs to be narrow so I can get it up to speed faster.
Needs to be longer to provide more stability when I'm winging it (since it is narrow).
The nose will be more like the prone paddleboards (like the NCP I had a longtime ago) - bulbous.
The tail on this first one will be narrower than I normally put on my boards - but will be flat to the very end (to promote speed).
This one will be 7'0" x 19.5" x 5"
The mast tracks will be centered around the 32" mark. I may use the Chinook 16" boxes I have, or I may put a 8.5" and a 10.75" set in to give max adjustability.
I got the template for the outline marked out today.
I also got the bottom template assembled (I'll post pictures of that later).
I am looking forward to this new build - something I haven't done before. And I actually haven't shaped a board longer than 5' in a long time ;)
