Very nice Dimensions?

114 L 175x80, just like previous board about a year ago. I couldn't find anything wrong with the
specs for me, this one stays in Miami, while it's older sibling resides in Cabarete.

I like it

How are you guys riding with the mast base so close to yuor front foot. Don't you feel like you are going to get pulled over the front. I have tried it and hated it.

For me, UJ 8-12 cm from front straps. Back strap over foil mast gets me on a smaller sail sooner.

I will start easing it back and see how I go. I do like being able to get upwind well as I sail upwind for a couple of Km then chase swell downwind. Poert Phillip bay is a swell chasing playground.....

anywayyy - The paint scheme on that Tillo is amazing, really well thought out.

I'd be cautious getting a board made with the mast base super close to the footstraps.
Compact geometry has its place for maneuverability and relaxed pitch control as Simon has shown, but forward works better for me for ultimate controllability if overpowered and chasing speed in rougher conditions.
Today for example, gusts just under 30 knots, 4m sail & 720cm2 wing, found it tricky to get the power down and sketchy to build any speed - moved the base forward about 8cm to the position in the pix below and it was noticeably easier to charge up/downwind.

Rider weight/strength, foiling ability will also affect placement but thought I'd share my experiences

Hey Azzy
where do you get these footstraps? Cheers

Something like this will do me.

I'm with you JJ, I've got my mast base as far forward as possible over 15 knots.
In fact I'm going to redrill my fuse to move the foil back about 65mm, in affect giving me a longer mast track. I'm hooked in & loading up the harness at 20 knots & only just comfortable??

Try shimming the stabilizer before you go moving the foil around.

Done that ??
Maybe put it back to standard will help??

Which way do you have it shimmed?

The front of the Stab is packed up with 2 X 8mm flat washers, from memory it felt better at the time.
A fellow foiler checked the angle in comparison with the front wing & suggested it needed that much.

Top or bottom mounted stab?

Those shims should be reducing front foot pressure gain with speed.
Which foil is this?
