We've started our afternoon lockdown drinking, and it's like innuendo bingo, loving the 'stiffness'

I experienced a whistle on the aluminum mast which went away on carbon. Not sure though if this had to do with a change of brands at the same time or if this in fact had to do with the material change.

NEED HELP. I’m trying to figure out when I’m foiling and my board is perpendicular to the wind I will dive my kite and I will get pulled sideways off my board. Any tips...
