I've decided there's a lot of room to explore for a board that still floats, can be kneeling started. Maybe a sinker next time!

Here is a draft design. Dimensions are 4'6" x 24" x 5". So it's really short, twintip kiteboard length, and reasonably narrow, but still has 90L volume which should be plenty for my 76kg.
It's really ugly and boxy with square straight rails (though the edges won't be quite this sharp).
Not cutting away the edges and not having beveled rails (which appears to be current generally accepted best practice) maxes the volume and spreads it to the perimeter as much as possible.
There is good rocker / scoop but by starting it further forward also maximises volume - the back 2/3rd is pretty flat. This is a tradeoff.

The main design principle is any part that displaces water as it moves does so by pushing water down.
So any forward speed will push the board up and the water will go underneath.
It should hopefully plane at a very low speed and lift off easily.
Pointing noses mean pushing water to the side, which is a waste of energy for a wingfoil board. Sorry @stenninger  (though your board wins hands down on the looks department!).

One of the nice things about my own build is I get to test out my armchair theories
