HSFoil — Crafting a Custom Parawing Board | The Foilers Journal: Design

Shaper Pete Harrington (HSFoil) builds custom foil boards by hand in Victoria. In this episode of Design, he walks through how a board comes together from the blank up — the 'Canoonan' Parawing outline, the high-density foam stringer system that locks the foil box to the deck, bi-axial carbon and in-house vacuum bagging, the recessed "cockpit" deck, nose volume and concave, and the tail kick that gets you up early — and where he thinks parawing board design is heading. Design is the craft-and-construction strand of The Foilers Journal — close-up conversations with the shapers and makers about how the gear actually comes together. Less hype, more substance.
