Maui Foil

I surfed on a Maui Foil for about 4 years in the mid-70's. This was a 9' round-tail with almost no rocker to it, and very hard rails. I liked it because it was 3.5 inches thick and really floated me high. It was big enough to qualify as a longboard or gun, but maneuvered like a short board. I miss it and would like to build a SUP with the same line.
