Need help with given foil board and foil

Rightcoast · Since 27 Mar 2019 33 Posts ELI

I have been given a F-one 51 foil board and a ride engine foil with 3 masts from a friend . He has outgrown its use size wise . Thought was to start with smaller mast and work up . There is no connection for the RE plate for the board. What would be the piece needed for using this ? Any thoughts on sourcing ? Or a cheap board that would work? I'm 178 lbs

It's unclear what you're asking. Can't you just ask your friend you got it from? Perhaps the board is Tuttle and the RE setup has a plate?

Sorry that I was not clear. The F-ONE board has a slot similar to a tuttle box ,but I don't think it is ,seems a bit different . 3 bolt holes into box from above. Yes the RE is a plate base. I thought there might be a adapter . Friend is lost traveling Asia

Hmm yeah I can't remember if F-One had a proprietary Tuttle like box, someone on here will know.

You could also try reach out to Windance, one of the guys there who's been there a while from when they sold the original F-Ones with this box should be able to answer your question.

The Chinook Powerplate has a few options, one of these may work. I ran a Powerplate for windfoiling for a season or two and it was great, albeit a little heavy.
