A big mahalo to Dave Kalama for his relentless pursuit to evolve foil board design out of the dark ages. These days the only thing better than having a Barracuda in the back of the truck is to have a couple of them to choose from to match the foil discipline du jour and the water conditions.
Thank you artist and brilliant surfer Dave Kalama for sharing your work with everyone. There really is so much involved in boat building and theory that it’s overwhelming. I think Dave has made something iconic like a Lego or a Tonka truck or a Lightning Bolt surfboard or a Tony Alva skateboard deck.
Great to hear from the master again! Weight of the rider is another factor which affects the box placement, this obviously a heavier guy could never replicate
I thought displacement hull was better performing to take off earlier....it seems there are two ways of thinking about that. What do you think? Thanks for your videos! It's a pleasure to hear people like Dave.
Thanks for great reviev , do you know any places in Europe like Poland or Germany or Holland where it could be possible to stay on the water on the new barracuda and try to get feeling about stability without looking for volume numbers ? 👍🙂
Great listening to you and Dave, Dyl. VP sounds like it will be my choice due to mostly wave riding on SUP. I just wonder how we place an order, if it will be online or if we need to call Dave to reserve one.
I hear what Dave is saying. Most SUP riders can agree to emphasize volume because its common ground and a relatable conversation. We all know our shoe size… now throwing volume out the window… how does one select a board size while ignoring volume data?
Epic chat, very insightful. Dave's the man!

Great discussion. Love the Barracuda, can't wait to see the newest tech for down winding. XP will undoubtedly be amazing.

If your in the USA the stock just arrived. Give him a call or email to grab yours. If Australia give me a call 0411240542
Dave should be a politician
Thank's for this video !
Im a heavier guy, What foil setup does Dave use for downwind SUP foiling? Size front/back wing TIA
From memory Gofoil 1075 cm
The volume is VERY low. Flow Foiling can you check into it on your end?
Unsure why, many people have listened and watched it. I just tried on my phone, laptop and tv with no issue ?
@@Flowfoiling This was on a PC. I will try an iPhone & YT app.
Please let me know
@@Flowfoiling yeah, on pc seems very low volume
Try on TH-cam app

Most sales are done over a conversation with one of us.
