Chinook PowerPlate – WindFoil attachment conversion - board box Specific
This unique product allows windsurfers to convert existing boards to be windfoil capable boards. The PowerPlate makes it simple to bolt any windsurf board with a Power, Tuttle or Deep Tuttle fin box style to the common 4-Hole plate pattern found on pedestal mount foils. Pedestal mounts can also be purchased separately for many AL foil brands (SlingShot, Progressive...). The over-sized plate area disperses the foils load over a large area of the bottom of a board. This minimizes fin box and hull stresses that windfoils place on non-foilbox windsurfing boards. It is a great way to make your windsurfing boards more versatile.
Features:
- Choice of box type: Power, Tuttle or DT.
- 2-pc Solid Aluminum construction.
- Made in USA.
- 6 mm threads on all box types (standard on modern boards).
- 3/16" foam padding against bottom of board.

- Fore and Aft foil placement positions.
- Includes 4 stainless mounting screws (for Pedestal attachment).
- Supports large area around existing fin box.
- Fore & Aft fine tuning can be done with the multiple mounting hole system,
* Forward = quicker lift, Backward = slower lift
User Instructions:
Be sure to use a Metric 6mm fin-bolt.
Be cautious not to cross-thread the fin-bolt.
Be sure to get a least 12 complete turns into the PowerPlate. (Max # of turns is 16 or 3/4"). You may need a longer screw.
Be certain to tighten the fin bolt hard enough to compress the foam. Check & tighten as needed.
If your board has a big V-bottom, add extra foam to outer plate edges to add lateral stiffness.
* Use a leash regardless of your foil/fin-box setup. Impact with a log or other or bottom - could cause your foil to sink.
Adjust the head or plate mounting bolts to your preferred fore/aft position.
Wing Forward=More lift.
Wing Rearward=Less lift (better learning)
* The PowerPlate has a 12 month warranty against manufacturers' defects. This does not include damage from impact or loss/damage to your foil or board regardless of impact or not.
