Carbon Skate - Lightweight and tough home-made foil pumping board
The biggest issue of my previous build, the Balsa Skate, was that it did not have a rocker. This resulted in two problems:it felt like pumping needed more energy in comparison to a board with a rockerif submerged deep in the water, the board would slowly soar to the surface while drifting away in a random direction. Often it appeared several meters away, which resulted in quite some swimming.Long ...

Making a windsurf board foil-ready (JP Magic Ride 116)
Converting a freeride board, in this case a JP Magic Ride 118 into a foil-ready version can be done by anyone with a little bit of patience. Freestyle windsurf boards are even a bit easier to convert since they don't have a fin-box that is laminated both the lower and upper deck which makes the removal a bit easier. The original screw hole for fin mounting was reused as the aft mounting hole for t...
