gotta chip in that these guys are light , having a 1600+ foil is better for med size people and 1800+ for aprox 80kg plus , i started on a bus of a 2400cm2 to learn to glide and no regrets there
I'm curious about the optimal dock height off the water. We have a steep platform that's only a few feet long and a couple feet out of the water, depending on the tide. I was thinking about setting up some kind of a floating dock, but the wave action in the afternoons can get pretty brutal and I might need to make more of a swim platform. Any ideas on how to dimension something like that? I can imagine it's not going to be super cheap, but better to be creative than to give up easily. I've also thought of buying a stripped down pontoon boat and anchoring it just offshore. We could also use it to launch for kitesurfing when the wind is good
It depends a bit on your mast length - you want the foil plane to be in the water when you hop onto the board and you want the board to be low enough so that you can hop onto it. 2ft sounds like about the right height. I don't have much advice on the swim platform, but for dock starting a foil we're seeing a lot of people ordering the inflatable North Dockstart Launchpad to both protect the foil while launching and allow you to hop onto your pump foil board with a more natural gate. www.windance.com/products/north-dockstart-launch-pad?_pos=2&_sid=c785b3f8c&_ss=r
