Nice! Does that board come with a tuttle box for the foil or did you modify it?
Which foil is that?

Thanks! It's been modified to a DT and reinforced (super strong carbon). Original is a regular power box that would rip clean out of the board with all the impact.

The foil is the Starboard Wave 1300. Great for light wind cruising and boosting big airs!

Wow you make the upwind and dw 360s look effortless 😎 Are you using the 1300 with the 67 fuselage and do you find it twitchy at all?

Thanks for posting,

Thanks Dave!

When you figure out the foil/board angles and the right leverage on the sail up- and downwind 3's are pretty simple. Not breaching is probably the hardest part. The 67 fuse is pretty quick for sure, and if you're coming from a longer fuse you might find it twitchy. I like it a lot for what I'm doing. Quick = agile!

The downwind 3 is achievable for anyone who's confident with a foiling jibe, no doubt. You find the right angles and it's just butter smooth all the way around!
