Local guy bought a Flyer380, not advantage for early take off compared to his 80cm board and worse when flying. Can't leverage a large sail so limited use in light wind.

| Yes, the width - in the way for gliding onto the foil, but then potentially important for gaining leverage over the foil. But you point out that the Flyer 380 is 28" wide - so is the Equipe. Th ... |

| Foiled last year in Martinique on 140lt board, pumped onto foil in 10 knots, exhausting but great - but footstraps in light wind seemed to be in the way, and in the wrong spots for most efficient foil ... |

| The 7.5m SummerFreak will far out-perform the WindSUP, no doubt. It will plane, and quickly, but don't expect a looked in feeling. It's a great sail, but does have the original Windsurfer boom lengt ... |

re-engineering for a modern mast foot ??? on superlight
