Honestly both are a pretty bad solution.

Tuttle works best when the vertical loads are taken by the roof, we've known that for years.

Where winging and small sail freeride windfoiling diverges from IQfoil/other racing is the sideways leverage which is rather a lot.
I don't see Tuttle boxes being designed with walls that are really built to take these forces. They need some ribs running horizontal through the entire ABS foam block, not just thick walls.

An i see broken foil tracks almost every week...

only as the manufacturers use rubbish longboard boxes and-or crappy install. Done right it’s a strong as DT and similar weight. Using surf boxes and the ridiculous Gorilla glue installs that surfers did a decade ago (that unfortunately a lot of folks still follow) is just asking to fail.


companies like DT as it’s a more simple install to get done by Asian factories.
Combined with a box that’s really easy to mould in big quantities at Cobra.
With most racey foils being DT that’s why it’s prevailed.


people come to me all the time to get tracks put in for adjustability and love the result. Seems a lot of folks want adjustability. I’ll be keen to see if the adjustable Tuttle is strong enough but with Slingshot pulling out of Oz I dunno if we will see much
