Thanks.. I'm getting 30-40 min constant foiling..

I got a little less using a smaller foil but with the big HA2140 I can back off the power to about 70% on the handset and I'm sure that helps save battery..

The case is a Pelican type wartproof case that I got on line.. I'm looking at getting a bigger one next so I can run two batteries and get at least an hour run time..

Thx mate must look at what I'm doing wrong

Im running an ancient Naish hover 140litres,one of the very first foil boards.Hard to get on the foil,but it's my go to sup foil board.Maybe have to use my 125litre wing board.

A 2140 with a 320 stabiliser,might try the 450???

btw.. That case is waterproof.. not wart proof..

I'm using the 310 stabilizer..

Your board shouldn't make much difference but that Hover 125L wing board should work great..

I found that there's a couple of things to help.. First you want the foil mast all the way back even though when winging I have it all the way forward.. Weird..

The second thing is when trying to get lift-off try and keep the board flat and not in the nose high wheelie position.. Keeping it flat and slowly gaining speed you will get to a speed where you can gently bounce your front foot to get lift off..
