Why bother then to put curved boards on then if the quickest part is when the boards are raised somewhat, you would be better off with inclined boards in that case.

The A camp has the curved boards in the not sure camp still and many are complaining of the number of broken boards + the time needed to raise one board to get best effect, Me thinks the jury maybe still under deliberation.

As to the minscule little bit of " jump " mode followed by immediate slow down of the boat ( induced drag of the foil breaking back into the water is more than if the foil was in the water ), nah find a boat wake and then you would see some real air time .
