Tuttle Box - Put your foil in any board

Prone surfboards in general need the box further back than a SUP. This is because the lighter the board, the less lift you need to make and/or keep it foiling.

Think of your back foot on a prone board where you would like to place it when standing up into surf position. Generally, your foot will be close to standing directly on top of the mast when on a prone board or slightly forward of that position.

On a SUP, you can stand slightly aft of the prone position, so many stand on the trailing edge of the mast on their SUPs.

Box placement further forward creates greater lift and earlier planing but you will be standing further towards the nose to balance it.

Box further back usually helps the boards turn ability.

Lightweight riders need less lift and heavy riders need more lift so consider the riders size when choosing box placement. Tuttle Box Holes Template
