FYI, As a windfoiler I travel alot and need a small board, the Wizard 105 is great pocket board, but takes too much room in my car.
Gong HIPE, looked promising. So I embarked on the journey to install a mast track. See link in the SUP forum below.
Hoping for trifecta (Wind+Wind+Packable).

Nice one. Good to know that bit about the 500N of pressure on the board. Presumably most of that force is directly down. Do that paper report the horizontal and vertical components of the mast base force?
