Summer 2023

Two new XL versions, measuring 105cm in length. These feature foam cores and extra inserts for a front footstrap. Real “icebreaker” models, which also shows in their weights.

Riding the Ultra Light Weight version with Triton T1 monofoil.

August 2021: Ultra Light Version foilboards with varying wood types

Several versions of the 13mm thin Ultra Light Version foilboard. From top to bottom: Paulownia frame+pine edges, pine frame+edges and oak frame+edges. All have 1,5 mm birch plywood tops. Weights 1390, 1560 and 1760 grams.

June 2021: Freestyle and Wave surfboards

Based on the prototyping I made two versions of strapless surfboards. A lightweight Freestyle and a bit longer and wider Wave. Both feature oak in the edges, which adds a bit to their weights. I also changed the plywood to 1,5 mm, while the prototypes featured also 1mm thickness.

January 2021: Surfboards in the making

I made two prototype surfboards for strapless kitesurfing, using the same construction as with the foilboards. One board has simply the same thickness throughout the board and the other is customized being thicker at waist and thinner at tip and tail. Plywood thickness in these is also1 mm or 1,5 mm and volumes are just below and above 10 liters. Both boards weigh under 3 kilos at 2460 and 2720 grams before tail pad, fins and final coating. Testing in the water will happen later in this spring.

December 2020: Lightest board at only 1270 grams

I believe the serial numbers 007 thru 010 now have the most optimal design for a wooden pocket foil board. Plywood thickness is now 1 mm or 1,5 mm. Board thickness varies between 13 mm to 22 mm. Frames are made out of paulownia wood and edges either paulownia or oak. Weights range between 1270 grams to 2190 grams with board length being either 95cm or 105cm. Mast mount holes are drilled only for the 165x90 mm bolt pattern. The lightest one (featured in the pic) weighs only 1270 grams. Excited to take this one in the water and see how it feels. I believe it is lighter than any commercially available board!

August-November 2020

Time spent in test riding the second prototype boards. Next batch of boards will be in production in December. I will be introducing even thinner plywood and lighter frame wood materials to further work on the weight, characteristics and style of the board. The size that I find best and will be making is 95 cm in length and 39-46-36 cm in tip-waist-tail width with about 5 cm rocker.

Second series in June 2020

Next prototype series ready, serial numbers 004-006. These boards no longer have the integrated foil mast mount, but instead holes for the standard 165x90 mm and 190x90 mast mounts. This construction reduced board weight and removed the difficult to make and potential weak point of foil mast going through the board. These boards now weigh from 1700 to 2200 grams depending on the plywood thickness and frame material selection.

First prototypes in April 2020

Early prototype series using 2 mm and 3 mm thick aircraft grade birch plywood with oak framing and oak fishbone structure. I constructed this series with integrated wooden KFBOX for AlpineFoil foil masts. These boards have lengths from 95 to 105 cm and widths from 45 to 55 cm. Finishing was done by 5 to 7 layers of two-component polyurethane varnish with anti-slip pearls in the top coating. The boards weigh from 2600 to 3300 grams, including the integrated wooden KFBOX, which adds up to 800 grams to the weight.
