Was using regular gong fuselages for wing few years, fuselage 70 -75 cm, now switched to F4, even shorter distance between front leading edge and trailing of the stab, 66 -72 cm. Unless winds are super light, I prefer 66, a lot more responsive, less drag

My only reference for shorter fuselage windfoiling was the old Starboard Supercruiser foil, but that had a huge tail and I wasn't ever a big fan. Then again it was a tuttle box which limited tuning.


For Gong, I was using the same stabs or 1 size bigger, on F4 I use the same stab size as wingers/ para wingers/ etc, but they prefer XS that's makes whole fuselage 62 cm, I like 66 for the most part if the wind is stable

Nice looking board, what's the weight?
I'm assuming you are doing hardcore foilstyle with jumps , air moves. Hoping to get my new board in 3 weeks, but mine is for freeride,swell/wave riding, no foot straps and so very diff although dimensions are very similar 99l 170x70

Hard to predict the future... But I would not base my decision on older mast, masts are getting stiffer, lighter and less drag ..., if you have the money for a custom board, don't ruin it .. tracks+ Tuttle= extra drag,extra weight, if you are not racing, tracks gives you more options. Just ordered custom from Frank foil boards with tracks myself ..
