This should be in the newbie foil section I know (Laurie??) - but I'm looking to get into this foiling thing and see 2 distinctly different foil orientations ??

A typical aeroplane has the main lift producing wing at the front and the smaller ' keep it under control' wing at the back - most foils conform to this 'normal aerodynamics' model BUT -

Some foils are the complete opposite ?? Small wing way out in front of the mast and the 'main wing' close behind the mast ??

I gather as a complete beginner I should be looking for a low profile foil and the standard layout?? What is with the reverse orientation?? ( no I dont want a postal vote!! LOL )
