And stone the crows it actually bloody worked. Attached it to my hobie 14 24 inch wide flat water board and went for a run in the creek , it was blowing a gale tide going out and some small runners. Well obviously the foil is not large enough to get the board out of the water , but it did create a lot of lift and increased stability( A LOT).I paddled the board out into the mouth of the creek which was pretty messy and did not even feel like falling off. Turned around with the wind and the board just flew , could feel the foil work.MY GPS said top speed 13.5K. Cant wait to try it downwind and in some waves.
