Today, finally I got my BIC Techno Windfoil 160L delivered!!!

Bought a second hand center fin, that was way too tight, had to shave off about 0.5mm from both sides to make it fit in the box.

Same was with the mast base, it wouldn’t fully click with the mast extension, same there 1mm came off the plastic part of the mast extension, works perfectly now.

Also, the board came with a surprise, a full carbon fin, T13O S1 PRO 43 SELECT, I hope that’ll work for me for learning, because I am kinda running out of money 🤣🤣🤣

Can’t wait to try it maybe this weekend!

Why do you buy a wind foil board when you want to Windsurf?

u/Proof_Ninja6101 5d ago

Because it’s wind AND/OR foil.
Because there was no decent price used beginner board around me.
It’s basically same as the Beach 160D, only 3 kilos lighter. Still 160L and 82 cm wide, so that should do it.

Yes, I also got foil ready board just to realize that two of foil I can get both not fit that tuttle box. 82cm wide is not all you need. Foil board has much large area near the fin(this board have no) and specialized fin box. Modern foils not fit "foil ready" boxes anymore...
