The drop box should be mounted the other way around, you need to be able to put the mast a the max forward position with the new HA foils, big design mistake in my opinion!

Ps Where is the shop you did the video in.?

Interestingly there's no talk as to why the whole bottom of the seek 2023 looks different to the seek 2021, and the size per volume has gone down around 4" too. Did the old shape not work? Or is the new shape more suited to different type of foils?

[@stefanog9818]

I think Gunnar really influenced the new 2022 boards...and he is pretty adamant on tail shape. No need for useless cutouts. I used both 2021 and 2022 and the 2022 is at another level. I didn't like the 2021 but I love the 2022.

I am 63 and very keen to try. I have never stood up on a surfboard but have a good strong sense of balance in skinny canoes Will I be able to foil.?

[@mikeb1039]

YES! I'm 63 as well and not great balance and it took me while, but i"m up! Great fun.

@@mikeb1039 good to hear from a peer. Had you been standing on a surfboard before.

I am 65, been windsurfing for decades and kiting the last 14 years. Wingfoiling took half a season to get up on foil and start jibing attempts. It takes strong determination and willingness to appear like a novice for quite some time. Make sure to start with board min 120 litres.

Its just a rebranded Sky air !

As Stefano and Timo says about the disappearance of the cut-outs seen on Seek 2021… You not even show us the new simple flat bottom! Maybe because it looks less appealing, not Hi-Tech, but this *go back to the roots* explain how marketing people take customers for stupid, specially if I had bought the Seek 2021, I will be very disappointed to hear now the flat one is much better. Difficult to sell the concept *less is more*.
