azymuth said..About 25 cm of extra length was added to the tail over two modifications, giving more lift for takeoff without excessive pumping.
The longer tail and more forward foil create a downwind-style feel with improved glide and stability similar to a more conventional big board, while still retaining a small area nose that feels great, thanks to reduced swing weight and less buffeting when flying upwind.
At 90kgs I can now uphaul it without much anxiety

At 191 x 65 cm the board feels efficient and balanced, and the added tail area is essentially free - once up on foil, it isn't noticeable.
Testament to Mark Oz's board building skills that this is his first windfoil custom build - used for hundreds of sessions by Mr Smooth and me over 3 years yet still structurally perfect to be worth modifying

That boards getting closer to looking like my Severne Alien!!
