Interesting, mine's even closer to the tail, it's 240mm for same measurement. Can you measure the top to the edge of the deck grip?




Mine is 300mm (tracks) and 270mm (rear of deck pad to back of the board)



300 to the deck pad for me. Seems a bit of a mixed bag


Mine is 400mm so actually pretty consistent. Longer boards have the mast tracks further forward and the deck pad further forward. Slight variation is with the location of the deck grip on the hump. Mine is not fully up the hump so the 50mm difference between mast track and deck pad (350/400) should be closer to 30mm like yours.

If the hump was 3cm further forward that would resolve all the issues for me as my back foot could be on the inside of the recess and still not be behind the mast.
Its not the biggest issue but would be perfection if i could slide the foot back to hit the bump for pumping up, then bring it forward of the mast once i start the run.

Several questions for owners of "The Jack" or for those who were lucky enough to test it:

- How does she behave in Wingfoil?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages compared to Breeze or Breeze + or Mid Length boards?

Thank you !!

I prefer it for wingfoiling over my DC mid length - the midlength is narrower and longer and more unstable in choppy, windy conditions getting to my feet. The Smik is 4" shorter and 2" wider than the DC but the extra volume and width at the nose makes it much easier to pump up onto foil in lighter conditions. The DC I just use as a dedicated foildrive board now.
