Foil Wed or Thursday?

Wed looks colder but maybe breezier. Thursday looks lighter but warmer. Want to do a maiden voyage with a new toy.

Is that wise? It is Wednesday the 13th you know.

Right. Forgot all about that. Need to grab the hockey mask, machete, lunch box and get to work. Shok

Yes, pics soon. First new board for me* in about 23 years. Everything since has been used, demo, very used, etc.

*Got a couple of boards for Sim when he was young that were worth every penny.

btw, I think I'm going to hold off until tomorrow and Friday so I don't have to wear gloves.

As promised: Windfoil Convertible by Alex Morales of Tillo International. Ding on the tail courtesy of Forward Air. It (the board, not the ding) was the result of my wanting a more foil friendly board but knowing that it would be taking a regular fin in places like Hatteras. The finbox is a couple of inches forward of where it is on my FreeFormula and mast track further back. Lots of volume under the straps and not much of anything forward of the mast. Lots of inboard strap options in the rear for foiling. Alex says it goes exceedingly well with a 52cm fin and 7-9 sail. 213x90 130 liters. Glass and carbon fiber. Light but not stupid light.

Nice looking board. Convertable seems like the way to go.

Is the graphic on the front a cross and crown of thorns?

No clue what the graphic is. It's a bit turned on the side so I'm not thinking it's a cross.

Edit: Added photo of one of original renderings from last July

Sounds like a detective task for our Top Men. Of course, I could just ask Alex but what's the fun in that?
