2020-07-20 Update from Big Jim - New Board!


I finally got my foil board from Rob Mulder and got out for two 1.5 hour sessions. 

It is 7 feet long and 35 inches wide and about 160 litres I think. It is really nice to be light when up on the foil and the thin cross-section penetrates the wind a little better than the Formula board I was using. 

There is not a lot of nose, so you have to step way around when tacking. Rob did a very pretty paint job on it. May have bought my last board! ( I have said that before). 

I took a picture in the bubble wrap. Pretty much the shape of a sheet of plywood.

Look forward to seeing everyone in September. Will have three cabins, three kitchens and 12 bedrooms so it should be safe!

Cheers JC
