First day off for a while, I'd promised I'd help one of the lads at the
club with his DT project for school. He's been working on a Hydro-foil fin
to fit my board. After a lot of playing around to get the bolts in, we
finally got it on the water. I sailed off, all was well, it just felt as if
it dragged a bit, as I got a little speed, but not planning , I thought I'd
try to get it to come up on the foil. I put pressure onto my back foot and
it stated to come up out of the water, as it did it snapped off ! Back to
the drawing board! The idea worked , but it just needs to be stonger where
the fin meets the finbox fitting. One idea now is to use an existing fin
and mold the foil over the top of that.
