Torsion control on foils

there is a thread for good ideas like this

I think likely at some stage. Snowboards, skis, skateboards, surfboards, bicycles all have highly engineered flex patterns in carbon.

I think at this stage it seems unlikely the mast will be the point of flex.

Loading and releasing through carves as the most obvious value of flex, like a surfboard or carve skateboard.

The other use is dampening of rough conditions, like a carbon bicycle front fork

Much more likely that the foil itself will incorporate some give to enable this. Somehow I don’t think the gear is mature enough to find much value in engineered flex
