All good now. The browser was forcing the night theme.

As far as I can tell, everything is fixed/working, and no more issues?

Speak up now! 😅




The light mode still doesn't work for me through a browser (Duck-DuckGo), Galaxy A20.
Works in the Chrome.
Not a showstopper 👍

Bought it SH.
Not sure which shop used to sell them. Or which one sells them now.
Anyone can help?

Thanks Ken,
Maybe it can be welded over?
Would that distort the plate?

Hard to tell based on the image, but you might want to make sure it's actually deep tuttle and not regular tuttle box. In the photo, it looks a bit like regular.


Thanks.
Should connect the mast to the plate directly, so the Tuttle option goes away.

Is this what I need to enable my deep tuttle Infinity foil for a twin track board?
Or is there more to it?
thanks

Rockets are definitely nicer in chop.
Having said that, at your weight, you could be on a smaller board.
Would be narrower and easier in chop.
A number of 90+ litre boards could handle a 7m sail.

Thanks.
re:nose
That's a good advice. I keep looking at the the nose of the board so to position the front foot better.
Shouldn't need that.

I hate that this is now politicised. Cheap politicians use this for their little gains. Sad really.

On the original comment, I was in an army (not Australian), trained as a squad leader for 6 months before taking general duties, but was not in a war.
We had heaps of classroom time.
A lot of military tactics, arms, political brainwashing...

Arrest approach, setting handcuffs, physical combat etc.

But no ethics, moral stands, nothing about war crime, prisoners treatment.

Howz the foiling going ?



Due to various little issues, I only just had my third session today.

After a disappointing session on the river (too gusty - on and off), I tried Hillarys North Wall, which was much better.

Still a lot of balance issues, but progressing well I think.
A lot of half-flying with the tail skimming the surface, but an occassional clumsy flight often ending with the foil out of the water.

An interesting situation when you hit a wave not flying, and once over t he wave the board stays up

Hi guys,

Looking for your guidance on which foil is suitable for a 100kg beginner.

Looking for a cheap s/h option.
Need to figure out if I like it first before I spend for a better foil.

So I have a board now (thanks Mark).
Mark suggested the Infinity 76.
I read about them Infinities and I guess the 84 would work too.

Ah yes, it's a deep Tuttle box.

Not many advertised, so hoping I could get a few more recommendations here.

thanks
