how does he maintain his fore and aft trim without a wand and how does he turn it lol.

foiling revitalised the moth class but moths have rudders. I think I prefer old school planing but I think my knees would prefer to foil lol.

Beautiful vid.. They've been doing this for years and I've seen some great footage of them jibeing and turning without a problem.. I can't see a tack happening..

But that's gotta be nasty if that foil touches the bottom in shallow water at speed.. Even sand.. Far worse that touching your fin.. I can see a nice little over the bars or cartwheel thing happening..

Interesting the big hole in the bow of the board. Toilet seat?

"The AFS-1 board This board has a « window-opening » in the nose. This will allow researching a maximum foiling speed without letting the wind put you out of balance during the flight. "
