I like

www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/General/North-Shock-Absorbing-Mast-Base?page=1


It solves the height problem, and has lockout, and can be adjusted ......... the North had none of those things....

I can't wait for you guys to put a bit of "suspension" under the footpads for us who have stuffed knees !
Keep pushing the envelope

Do your own- I discovered the Clark rubber self adhesive EVA in varying thicknesses for around $20
Put that under your normal pads and you're away.... my new board is plush
(Best ever was the recessed heels in the deck, filled with butyl rubber, about 2004-6 ish. They were also double sandwich then, I gather they went away from both as they boards were too durable )

I think the Exocet boards still have the recessed footpad area with double density pads.

But shock at the base looks really promising. I notice the difference in ride quality when using A stiff race sail compared to a softer free ride rig. My knees would love some extra damping.

What's the story with the fin in the background with the little winglets?

Yep. Got my eye on some for this summer - if I get around to it
