with the carbon construction and the deck-to-bottom carbon box system. The Blue Planet was US$1,189 delivered to me from Hawaii (no "bro" deal, I paid full price). I assume this new Blue Planet prone board has this same type of box system. I have busted the fin boxes out of other foil boards, so i prefer a strong box like this one. it is a high-density box that goes deck to bottom, reinforced with carbon, for supreme strength. The Blue Planet foil box system on the Easy Foiler SUPs is entirely different than the Amundson. It does nothing wrong (which, again, is my compliment for a foil board). But on the water, the Amundson is friggin' great. And I am much more careful with it, knowing it is more fragile. The board does get pressure dings like a normal surfboard - because it is. And the box has held up (there are pressure dings between the boxes). To be fair, the Amundson is a great-performing foil board. I am afraid those boxes will rip out some day. and was disappointed when it arrived to discover that it was just basically a surfboard with two fin boxes and a bit of reinforcement, but not much. For example, I paid U.S.$950 for an Amundson foil board. So the Blue Planet construction is night and day from what most people are selling. are really just surfboard construction with a foil box in there. Many of the other production boards available in the U.S. it's light and super strong / stiff (which is what you want for efficient pumping back out). CONSTRUCTION & VALUE The Blue Planet prone board's construction looks like it's carbon SUP boards. (but it's kinda nice!) Quick comments on each point below. 1) BOMBER construction - incredible value for the money. mainly comparing it to an Amundson prone board of the same length, which is a fantastic board. More importantly, after getting it out for the first couple rides today, it changes my thinking on prone foiling. The Blue Planet PRONE board appears like it follows exactly in that tradition in both shape and construction. The Blue Planet SUP foil board really does nothing wrong in the ocean (which is a big compliment), and it's construction has held up great, with just a few indents where I stand. (PIC below) I was looking forward to checking the PRONE foil board out after loving the Blue Planet Easy Foiler SUP foil board. I just got the new 2019 Blue Planet PRONE foil board.
