Hi, i real.y enjoy your vids! Everything looks easy…
I saw that you have the mast in the forward position. What advantage does that have?
All the best!

Up in Midland on Geo Bay. Making my own boards for wake and wing. What is the board you are on?

[@philedmunds9947]

Oh, I see it’s KT dragonfly. Nice. Would love to template that to make one.

[@foilthegreats]

KT Dragonfly 7’ 19” 100L

This is really cool, what kind of board is this? I haven’t seen one quite like this before.

[@larrycollar1322]

It’s called a Down Wind board. That particular one is made by KT and is the Ginsu Dragonfly. Very efficient traveling across the surface of the water. A relatively new design for riding waves downwind but also for light wind wingfoiling. Conventional foil boards are short and wide by comparison and much less efficient gliding on the water surface. Don’t have one yet but want one.

I’ll bet you get good days riding swells

[@foilthegreats]

Sure do!

[@didoy9887]

what is the air and water temps? can you also give some specs on your wetsuit/gear. you are fearless braving the winter. thanks. I have the exact same board, It arrived late last year and have not had a chance to get on it.

[@foilthegreats]

It was a warm day. Probably around 5°C. Water is around 2°C. I was wearing Patagonia R5 wetsuit and Solite 5mm booties. Gloves are Waterproof G1 3mm. It’s a great board, enjoy!

[@mp.345]

its the largest silk I guess, didi you measure speed (amx. or average 20 sec?) Thinking of buying one, or sk8... Thanks!

[@foilthegreats]

Sorry don’t bother with that. It’s a fast foil.

[@Zander-gm5gc]

What gloves do you use?

[@foilthegreats]

Waterproof G1 3mm
