I am plenty pleased with the board and have been using it for a month compared to my old flame board. I think it may splash just a ilttle less, or maybe I am finally figuring out how to ride:slaphead:

Anyway, I went to put the board into my Airboom rack, and it won't fit. My flame board fit just fine. The new board has a wrap on it, but looking at the edges, the thickness of the wrap is like 1 mm, so I really don't think it is the wrap. But I am open to suggestions.

I tried several times, and it just won't fit. Just to make sure it isn't the wrap, I went to the skyski website to see if they listed the specs. But there are no specs listed, which surprised me.

Can anyone confirm that this new board is thicker? Or is it just the wrap thickness that is holding it up? ]]> General Discussion Tallredrider http://www.foilforum.com/forums/showthread.php?7318-An-LE-board-is-thicker-than-a-standard-Pro-board-Where-are-the-specs My Fathers Day Present http://www.foilforum.com/forums/showthread.php?7317-My-Fathers-Day-Present&goto=newpost Sun, 16 Jun 2013 18:29:38 GMT Here is what I got for fathers day!

The Flyin was joined by more than 20 riders from a big bunch of diff. countries:
USA, Swiss, Austria, Lativa, Netherland, Germany. (and Bavarians)

Great spot at Mosel river with dock to swap riders, camping ground, facilitys and hotel, all in short walking distance.

Weather changed just 2 days before Flyin to the upper 70´s after weeks of cold and rain.
Also, there has been a big cooler full filled with beer and special shot´s, called "Wodka-Brause" :D which has been nearly empty at sunday, maybe also due to that big BBQ party at friday.

Thanks "Heini" & Axel for that great event and all folks joined it.

They came up with this....it stores them out of the way on both sides of the boat, taking up minimal space in the boat, and very easy to get them out and onto the swimstep, unlike typical racks that you have to lift them out and down from the tower high above. They did it by bolting used cinch stays to the tower. It holds the foils suprisingly stable. They dont move at all. Cost: $10 dollars in hardware and a pair of used Cinch stays that hadnt been thrown out when replaced. See pics:

It seems that the Pro SS is the most commonly recommended beginner foil, but what about earlier models, are they just as good for a recreational novice?

Here is one example, pics aren't too good, but what model is this and how do you know? Value?
