What hydrofoil for E-foil.?

@blocoloco, have you figured out the section of the f-one mast in the meantime?

@pb1 not yet, iā€™m still building the board.

Yes, Iā€™m aware. I also saw that you are putting standard US Boxes into your boards which makes a lot of sense.

Note that the f-one masts all come with either KF or deep-KF box mounts and these mounts are not removable.

So in fact I would not recommend using f-one foils for eFoils as drilling the mast and the mount is difficult. Iā€™m even thinking about switching to another brand for my eFoil.

Hi Kozaz,
I unfurtunately did not have time to test it before the Winter came in Canadaā€¦now, eveything is Ice! I will test it in May :O(

if anyone needs it:

Everything is ready for the cable.

Looks good, can you give some details? Mast length, wing span and dept, lift speed. material and total weight?

Hi my name is Alexander, I am living in Canada as well. Have you done your test already?

We are using the Cloud 9 P27 foil which is awesome, its 100% carbon including the fuslage making it super light compared to the other foils we have tested like liquid force and a no-name china.

Moses 633 surf /sup/pump/wave kite is awesome

Up playing with our new efoil board and cloud 9 P27 (Kite,Surf, Sup foil)

I got a Slingshot hover glide mast and wings for my direct drive jet, I guess now itā€™s time to get a board. VeFoil, would your board work with the mast? When is it ready? What are other good board options if I donā€™t want to mess with epoxy and glass?

Kite race boards have often nearly optimal shape and volume, you just need to make compartments for your electronics if you want to.
Pacificmeister posted this list of old kite race boards which are a great starting point for a search. Look for boards with something around 70-90L depending on your weight.

Yes, we have a hoverglide mast and foil on our board now and its out of this work wicked!!!

Hi Jeff,
Your board looks very similar to a cabhina 183 course board Iā€™m converting to wing foil on. I started by simply drilling four 1/4ā€ holes a bit closer to the tail and taking it for a spin. I freaking loved it, but the ominous creaking sounds and obvious deflection of the spot I bolted up my go foil suggest some major surgery will be needed.

You only posted a pic of the bottom of your board. Did

you reinforced your board at the foil mounting spot from above?

Iā€™m planning on cutting a hole in the bottom of my board and epoxying in a piece of redwood, then through bolting or installing threaded inserts.

Hi,
it was my first Efoil, itā€™s old, I donā€™t remenber exacly what I did.
I just found some pictures :


I remember having made 4 carbon studs and drilled to put the screws
but I do not have more details on the dimensions

Hi Jeff!
Thank you for sharing your pictures! I was thinking of cutting out a big section of the board to reinforce the foil mounting plateā€¦did your mounting method hold up to use? Iā€™m going to be pumping the boardā€¦

Thank all of you in the efoil community for such interesting posts! I may need to install one of your ā€œsecret weaponsā€ on my rig!
