Hey Armie, so firstly could you please talk us through the FG in your FG board range?
Everyone in foiling has generally been trying to make the boards as short possible to reduce swing weight but as you improve the issue then becomes that you also want to get going with the smallest foil possible. Looking closely at the foiling yachts in the America’s Cup it became obvious that putting the foil closer to the center of gravity would reduce leverage on the entire system. The closer to the center of the board’s balance point, the less leveraged swing weight, and everything becomes lighter, more efficient
