I took this footage in a 5 to 10 knot easterly at Marmong the other day. Some of the gusts might have been 11 or 12 knots but mostly it was under 10 knots. The board is a JP 135 and the foil is a Moses freeride. https://store.moseshydrofoil.com/products/wind-foil-vento101-fr . The sail is an 8.0 metre NCX on a 460 RDM gorilla mast and my X9 wave boom. I run this mast/boom combo only when foiling in light stuff for reduced weight and a softer feel. I'm very happy with the Moses foil it has a deep mast with a lot of surface area. If you keep it low it is quite stable.

There's a lot of hitting waves going in the movie. That's fine by me. I'm still learning and I started enjoying it more and breaching less when I stopped stressing out about hitting waves. I found the GPS info very interesting. I was amazed to see the foil popping at only 10 to 11 knots of speed! I'm a fatty at the moment at 90kg, I wonder what speed a lighter rider would pop at? or maybe it is a case of same board speed just less wind needed.

My back arm is very bent at times. This is due to the quite tight apparent wind at times. I was practicing upwind/downwind and I'm still getting a feel for angles. The GPS data is from the GoPro and the gauges are Dashware. The speed is in knots. I decided not to add music. Why spoil the blessed silence. Dig how quiet it is from 9.30 to about 10.00. Gotta love that.

I am making a 93cm front foil wing out of laminated ply wood. Using ply made it easy to see the different thickness (wood shades) of the ply as I sanded. First using a hand held belt sander. Then fishing it off by hand with sand paper, still some sanding to do around the top where the fuse should connect. I am planning to fiber glass it. The wing has a tiny bit of flex right now when I push down on the center of it when it's laying across chair arms. Hope that doesn't cause to much issue down the road.

What type of fiber glass would you guys use in this situation?

I am considering making a wood fuseledge extension like in the pic below, length of this fuseledge including the wood is about 95cm. It may need some sort of renforecement at the joint to make it a solid connection where the wood fuse meets the aluminum one. Maybe putting some sheet metal on the bottom part where the bolts go. Will have to figure that part out.

Would extending it in the front through off the balance of the foil causing too much front foot pressure needed?
The ruler it not a extra wing
