Nice board
Any news on this Monocoque stabilizer (full carbon structurally integrated blended tail wing and fuselage) ??? I cannot find any reference to it anywhere except in your answer further down here .(I even think it is also on display on the table in front of your right hand Clinton...)
Hey Ron, thanks for reaching out. Most of the shops should have already received stock of the new Monocoque stabilizers. These will be up on our website in the next couple days. The Monocoque is currently only available in a 200 tail with 31.5cm fuselage.
@@AKDurableSupplyCo Hi there people at AK! Another question on that monocoque stabelizer: I suppose that now the whole construction is "monocoque" the angle of the stablizer is no longer trimmable. At what angle have you fixed it? How does that compare with the trimmable angles of the 'old' solution of alu fuse + G10 stab. (What range of angles does that one have anyway?) Love to hear from you!
Hi@@RonKolijn, the Monocoque has a 1 degree angle of attack, so it's basically like trimming the stabilizer slightly back.
What size is your mast? What do you consider a short mast to start with?
Hi Elizabeth, Zane is using a 70cm mast in the video, which is the length we would recommend starting with.
Hi there people at AK! Some detail that might help for your answer; Winging since 3 years now, weighing about 96 kg with 1.91m and riding the bumpy North Sea with a high preference on wave wingfoiling. I already rode my AK Phazer V3 5'6" board since end of last year and recently joined it with a matching AK Tracer V3 1030 Foil set. All good so far, really liking it! Got a few questions though: When winging in a straight line standing on top of the board, no other special action(s) I constantly have the feeling the board wants to "dive" (go down with the nose). I have tried to move the mast forward, but that didn't change this feeling, I just had to stand a bit forward to compensate for that. I also tried to achieve the same by changing the angle of the stabiliser (I had it centred initially), but it also didn't change anything on that "dive" feeling. And in the end I liked it most in the central position anyway. The strange thing is, that when I ride down a wave and hold the wing by the handle, it really performs well. Very well actually, better than any other foil I have tried so far (so big thumb up for that!), and this diving feeling totally disappeared...??? Any ideas what's happening here? Any recommendations? What is your recommended positon in the foilbox of the Phazer V3 5'6" for example? Or your recommended angle of the stabiliser? Love to hear from you!
Hi @RonKolijn, thanks for reaching out! Mast positioning and stabilizer trimming is usually more personal preference. The general rule, the more forward the mast, the more lift, and when the fuselage is trimmed all the way back, the more lift. The Tracer performs really well in the surf! When you're on the wave and the diving has disappeared, have you noticed if you're still standing in the exact same position or have you possibly shifted your positioning on the board that may have taken the diving feeling away?
@@AKDurableSupplyCo I stand same position, just let go my rear hand of the wing handle when riding the wave For now I'll try putting the stabiliser all the way back on the fuselage, before my next session
@@AKDurableSupplyCo I'm just of the water and can share with you that it really helped out to move the stabeliser to the furthest back position. Thanks for your help!
Hey@@RonKolijn, glad we could help!
Kief!
I wing with this new foil 1030 ,800,1300 with the new mast, and I highly recommend it. You make a great improvement in all aspects, especially l think with the response and speed in the ride. Do you plan to produce a rare tail wing made from carbon?
Hey @yarivdori7256, we are so glad you are enjoying your Tracers! We have just released our Monocoque stabilizer, which is a full carbon structurally integrated blended tail wing and fuselage.
Im loving my tracer v3 1030!
Hey@@haldanemartin3642, we are so happy to hear that!
Beautiful spot and epic riding ❤
would you please provide some additional comparison of similar size tracer and plasma foils? I have the big 2050 plasma and 1300 tracer and interested in how the smaller plasmas will compare to the tracers, Thanks
Hey, thanks for reaching out. We are releasing a Tracer Overview video at the start of next month. Being a high-aspect foil, the smaller size Plasmas will have more glide than the Tracer, but this is at the expense of speed and manoeuvrability. Personally, I've been riding the 880 Plasma for the last couple months, and I've found that it has lots of glide and good efficiency when pumping, and because the Plasma 880 still has a wingspan similar to the Tracer 1030, it still turns exceptionally great.
Smooth as butter! Epic solo session, it's beautiful out there.
Awesome video! Can you let us know the specs of the gear, sizes, and rider weight ?
Hey @KiteBud, he is using the new Plasma v2 880, 160 and a 36L Phazer. I'll ask Adriaan for his weight, and I'll get back to you.
The 880 is the bee’s knees in the surf 😍🔥
How much volume of foil do you need for do this? thanks
Hi Alain, thanks for reaching out. Most people like to use a foil that is at least 1600 or bigger.
They make it look so easy
Backyard boogie! Rad spot.
What size foil is that ? 🔥🔥🔥
Plasma v2 1600 🙌

Great place for all kind of watersport. Insane performance guys. stoked from watching!
How to dislocate your shoulder ;-)
awesome
bel endroit mais il faut faire attention a la marée. Quand elle est basse il n'y a pas beaucoup d'eau et un mat de 85 cm peut etre un vrai probleme. Il faut aussi un mat de 75 et etre prêt a massacrer son foil sur les patates de corail.
Take me with next time 😁
Looking good out there! Beautiful place.
nice work bois!
Good times in paradise with the crew!
Yewww 🤙🌈🏝️🦄 this place looks amazing
Boardies for the win!
Fantastic video Zane. Met your Grandparents Hoyle and Dianne, Dad Matt, aunt Tara and uncle Ted in '78, at the windsurfer worlds. Travelled all the way from South Africa to attend - imagine knowing Cape Town and so deeply wanting to invite your family to come visit/share in the splendour. Then was fortunate enough to do a surfari with Matt from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town in '83. Baboons and huge clean faces at Misty Cliffs. The power and glory of Crayfish Factory, The pristine waters of Clifton. So its truly a "full circle" to see you doing such great things for the next generation in Cape Town, surfing and diving in all the local spots that we opened up via the sport of windsurfing. Peace and gratitude to you.
Wonderful Flo. Great video, keep the stoke
Great clip!
Such a fun project! Was so great to be apart of it!

Nice video! Thank you!
Thanks Zane!
I just received my ether harness and sliding spreader. Why is the ring missing?
Hey, thanks for reaching out! Can you please let me know which sliding spreader bar you purchased and what version it is? Please drop our sales team a message via our contact form, and they'll be able to follow up directly www.akdurablesupplyco.com/contact/
@@AKDurableSupplyCo Thanks! The harness has no safety knife pocket. That won’t allow me to use a different spreader bar. Unfortunately that is a deal breaker for me.
@@AKDurableSupplyCo I did write an email over a week ago. No reply. Unfortunately, not only is the harness poorly designed, but customer service sucks. Can you please explain how your designer thought it was wise to put a “key loop” on your harness, but failed to put a “line knife” spot? You can get killed without having a line knife. Most if not all other harnesses have line knife pockets on the harness. I spent $35 on shipping for your product. I should have know. To not buy it.
@@cascaderetriever7618 Hey, apologies for the delayed response, I will check in with the customer service team and get back to you. Regarding the knife pouch, there is a knife storage compartment on all of our spreader bars. We have a kite safety knife and pouch which is compatible with all of our spreader bars: www.akdurablesupplyco.com/kitesurf/water-safety/kite-safety-knife-and-pouch/
Finally, are these boards with foil super heavy? Can I walk 5 blocks with one, or would that be hard to do?
Hi Monroe, our foils and foilboards are made out of an ultra-lightweight EPS core covered by a carbon construction, making them super lightweight and strong. You should not have a problem carrying one of our setups.
What is the best website to buy foil surf boards? Which board are you using?
Hey Monroe, thanks for reaching out! We don't sell direct, but please drop our sales team a message via our contact form, and they'll be able to follow up directly www.akdurablesupplyco.com/contact/
@@AKDurableSupplyCo Hi. I filled out the form and sent an email but no one has responded.
@@monroemann Apologies for the delayed response, I will check in with the customer service team and get back to you.
Can you recommend an affordable beginner foil board setup that’s good for both beach starts and also paddle starts? I’ll be doing this at South Point in Miami Beach.
Hey Monroe, the board we recommend for beach starts, pumping, and surf foiling is our Phazer foilboard, the board seen in this video. The Phazer foilboard was carefully designed with Zane to create an ultra-versatile foilboard that can be used for may different applications.
A question I now have a Fanatic Sky and it has a angled bottom tail, now I'm looking at a Phazer 5.6 v2 and it has a kicktail but does it also have a small sharp bottom tail?
Hey, thanks for reaching out! Please can you clarify what you mean by a small sharp bottom tail? Are you referring to a step tail? Please send us an email to marketing@akdurablesupplyco.com and we'll be more than happy to clarify any questions regarding the Phazer v2.
how much do you weigh and what size is that foil?
Hi Anton, I'd need to check in with Zane on those details. In general, the Plasma hydrofoils come in 1000, 1300, and 1600. As a guide for surf foiling and pumping, depending on rider weight: Plasma 1000 for 55 - 75kg, 1300 for 60 - 85kg, and 1600 for 80 - 100kg riders. You can find more information here: www.akdurablesupplyco.com/news/modular-hydrofoil-platform/
Yew!
