A La Carte – Waterproof XPS Board Build – Update After 2 Years of Use

I made a SUP surf foil board and a wing foil board a couple years ago and here is the status update after using these boards regularly for 2 years.  Boards are still working, no delamination, nor structural break down.  They have been great boards, very durable and functional, there has never been a day where I felt my performance or ability to foil was held back by the board being to heavy or some other material failure.  The plant flax or linen cloth on the wing board has held up great with no signs of failure, I have been very rough with that board setting it on pavement and concrete and in the back of vehicles and drilled a big hole for a camera pole.

Here is a YouTube video where I talk a about the boards and foam:

The SUP surf foil board was my first build and the tracks lifted from the expanding glue, I have since found a solution and used it on my third board build, I share what I did below for members.

A La Carte – AFS Silk Review

I've had around 20 surf sessions on the AFS Silk 850 foil, and also 3 wing foiling sessions. Also one quick surf foil session on the Silk 650 in head plus conditions.

Here I show video from those sessions and talk about what I like, any short comings, and compare this hydrofoil to the F-One Sk8 850.

I'm excited to share this and test ride more AFS gear.  I got my AFS Silk from Covewater in Santa Cruz. I am using the Stringfellow adapter to Axis mast.
