bellyboard. The idea was to prevent deployment or to cause retraction if too
much airspeed/air pressure was applied to them.
The same principal could be applied to the KR2. One of the ideas that flashed
across my bra
The further forward you locate the board, the more unstable it will be.
Placing it forward of the center of gravity--like the main spar--would be like
putting the feathers on the head of an arrow.
I hinged my board from just below the rear spar. My board is only 9 inches
high, but given th
