Here is a picture of his canard.




Look at how far forward the fuse is on the mast

The black one with orange it is.
Bought it SH.
Not sure which shop used to sell them. Or which one sells them now.
Anyone can help?



I would just go with the skeleton one unless you can find the solid online somewhere but they haven't been made in a while

I love my old style maui edition super freaks (full dacron no xply) so I expect you would like the kids version if you can get it. I know some foilers use kids sails as they want the real small sizes. But if I was going over 3.5 I would just go with the adult superfreaksas the mast cutout will be normally placed

The old solid one should work too if you can find one if you have the black and orange mast. There was a wide aluminum mast that had a different plate, maybe that is where the lightweight for wing and wide for windfoil came from. I know in the old days we all windfoiled on the regular width one, but with the full plate. We didn't break the plate, but I broke bolts and fuselages occaisionally.

I had a whole quiver of microfreaks for my kids a long while back and they are great. Not sure why I would get a 4.8 microfreak instead of just getting a superfreak, I guess is you had a real short wide kid maybe

I need to try mine too. But wasn't there a foil video on instagram about 6 years ago with someone in the Caribbean foiling with an old one design sail?

Close the vent plug, place the board in the sun for a few minutes. With some soapy water you can check if there are any air bubbles coming out around the vent plug. If there are, air comes out which means water can come in. No bubbles means you are probably ok.


Yeah best to open vent and leave board in cool place eg inside overnight. close vent then move to the sun. But I would give it 15-20 min to heat up then go with soapy water
