Holy Jesus, was that ever informative...Thank you so much. I will put ALL of your tips into practice, next time out! Such a great knack for explaining complex hydrodynamics too...Thanks a million!
Excellent! I was afraid it might be too technical or complicated but I think you hit it just right. This info helps make the equipment seem a little less complicated (more understandable).
I disagree on the position, especially in regards to the heavier rider needing a higher angle of attack. It’s really about positioning yourself over the center of effort of the front foil and being balanced over that lift. A higher angle of attack induces drag with poor flow and lift. The big guy needs a big front foil. Analogy… you’ll never get 20 guys in a single prop airplane off the runway no matter the ground speed. You just can’t generate the lift. At best you might be able to pop a wheelie by increasing the angle of attack. Big guys really need big foils.
Hey Dan, thx for checking in. I’m still around but haven’t posted in a very long time. A lot of things happening in life right now as well as other great resources available that I’m not sure I have much additional to offer the community. If something changes in the future, I’ll be ready 👍
@@TheOKKiteboarder well they are all great, but we are just OK 🙂 anyhow I hope all is well and we look forward when you will get the mojo back and publish some new stuff
