Here is a picture of his canard.

Look at how far forward the fuse is on the mast

I love my old style maui edition super freaks (full dacron no xply) so I expect you would like the kids version if you can get it. I know some foilers use kids sails as they want the real small sizes. But if I was going over 3.5 I would just go with the adult superfreaksas the mast cutout will be normally placed

I had a whole quiver of microfreaks for my kids a long while back and they are great. Not sure why I would get a 4.8 microfreak instead of just getting a superfreak, I guess is you had a real short wide kid maybe

Close the vent plug, place the board in the sun for a few minutes. With some soapy water you can check if there are any air bubbles coming out around the vent plug. If there are, air comes out which means water can come in. No bubbles means you are probably ok.

Yeah best to open vent and leave board in cool place eg inside overnight. close vent then move to the sun. But I would give it 15-20 min to heat up then go with soapy water

Gurra aka the legnedary KV! How good is flagged swell rides on the windfoil eg 3:40 min in the video.

I have dabbled in the other foil sports blow up and parachute and maybe I am ****e but I get way way better less effort swell rides on flagged windfoil. I think the initial feeling is that the "flagged" sail is providing a lot more power than you would think, but I reckon its more the removal of mast foot pressure from sail gives you bonus lift from the foil that you would only get on blowup/parachute if you stepped back on the board

Wondering what percentage of power a flagged sail is truely giving. Feels to me like less than 20%
