Nice work, Rob.
Great atmospheric shots. Tricky gusts but a lot of fun running down the rollers near the beach in the offshore breeze.
Looks like I could have gone further down the line but it was hard to judge depth.
Wind 12-20knts
4.2m, 97L Tabou pocket air, axis 82cm mast, 703mm short fuse, 880 HPS front, 425 progressive stab. Weight 78kg

Now that looks fun!Nice foiling and drone work.

Nice video and nice place!
I see you are using a 2021 pocket air from Tabou, may I ask you how it is windfoiling with that board, it is ok slogging on it? what is the wind limit 7and sail size limit you would recommend it for? Is 97 liters if I well understood.

Thank you

Cheers

Yes it is 97L but only 173cm. The board is thick with volume under the feet. Slogging is ok at my 78kg, I can uphaul it fairly easily.
I can get going with the HPS 880 front wing (1100cm2) in 12 knots with a 5.3 and top end is only limited by sail and cahone size!
I have a 3.3 that I haven't got to use yet. I have used it with a 5.7 down to 4.2. 4.7/5.3 is probably the sweet spot with this foil.

Stunning at full screen and hi res. Awesome camera and windfoil skills by you both.

I notice you use it strapless and have a position on the board much on the back vs the position of the straps that are much closer to the mast base as per pictures I have seen, did you use it with straps as well? Do you use it for winging as well?

Have not used it with straps as the front strap position is only really for winging. It is too in board for wind foiling.
I did use it to learn to wing but I am having too much fun wind foiling. The back foot kicker is good for pushing against.




Currently fixing the nose after one too many weed bomb hooked in catapults.

How much is the thikness of the board if I may ask? It seems from the picture to be more than 97 liters in volume, dimensions quoted are 177x 69 at these dimensions with a thickness of 12 cm is more close to 105 liters than 97. I am asking since I got 2 opportunities for a 97 and a 107 liters board, the 107 though seem definitely more than the quoted volume @ 183 cm x 71 cm, and if the quoted volume is true, 97 liters I may have some problem uphauling in messy sea state so I would prefer the 107 for more alround performance.
Moreover it seems to be made with sandwich technology, this is uncommon for wing boards.

Sorry for abundancy of questions :-)

Looks to be a little less than 12cm. Hard to get photo to show it clearly and mine is only 173cm and that was before I repaired the nose.
