Remora Suction Foil Mount

This could be interesting if it works. One of the videos shows attaching the mount and the leash. You'd want a leash.

Looks like a board delaminater to me. reducing the foil contact surface area of your external mounted board even more than a foil mount but applying the same pressures. It may be a good try once or twice option to check if you want to convert your board, but I would expect long time use will result in either delam is the suctions work well, or loss of foil if they don't.

I may be wrong, but the board shown seems to be a kiteboard, not a surfboard. Surfboards used for kiting may have the same shape, but are built much stronger. Plus the foil used is a kitefoil, which exerts much less pressure in whitewater. Using this on a regular prone shortboard with a surf/SUP foil seems a recipe for disaster.

Maybe using a short mast can help reduce the efforts on it?

Cool idea. I have several boards I'd love to try foiling, but don't want to spend the $400 to get tracks installed or destroy them with DIY through hulls. This would be quite versatile, potentially great for travelling too, bring foil, get a board when you get there. Only problem is price....I think it was 250 pounds, roughly $500....which is more than my foil cost. I know that's considered "cheap" in this crazy foil universe, where people are paying thousands ... but that seems too much $ for me for a mounting system.

Paul has said he uses it on his SUP with a Takuma SUP foil but uses the Quattro version ( 4 cups)

I see it as a product that opens up foiling into some other ideas.
Adding some flexibility but with some compromises.
Some will find it of value others not.
