What’s up everyone,
I want to invite you to the first informative episode from The Lift Journal. In this episode I am going to talk about my experiences with wide foil boards vs narrow foil boards. The Pros and Cons of both and why one might be a better fit for your foiling experience. In this episode I will be specifically looking at an @amosshapescustomsurfboards2460 and a Portal TM17. Although these boards vary in volume by 1 liter and 1 inch difference in height. These two boards are very unique in their own way. If you dig this episode feel free to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel. Also please feel free to share what your favorite foil boards are as well in the comments.
As promised below is the specific dimensions that I pulled off both boards.
