Hi - I have a Zeeko Black&White hydrofoil and wanted to purchase a 2017 Naish Hover 130 or 2017 Slingshot Dwarfcraft board (sliding track mounting system). Do you know if the Zeeko foil mounting system is compatible with these boards?

I have my Zeeko Blue/White attached to a Naish Hover 155. I had to get get some slightly longer M6 screws plus washers, but it works really well.

Has your Zeeko Blue/White also aprox. 160mm x 90mm dimensions on the plate (i.e. distances between the holes length 160mm x width 90mm) ?

Dwarfcraft will fit as long as you have 90mm wide hole pattern on your the Zeeko B&W. I have Zeeko spitfire and it fit Dwarfcraft 54 well. I liked that board. Never tried Naish Hover 130 which has fixed hole pattern and may not be the best fit even if you can mount your foil on it because of lack of available adjustment. There were some comments about it being quite heavy with almost no volume, not the best combo.

Thanks ! Yes the Zeeko B&W has 90mm width mount. So it should work with the track system as you describe.

I can attest that the 2017 hover 130 yellow and gray was lacking the slider tracking and the 2018 blue hover 130 does have a wide range of sliding adjustments. I’ve used RRD NAISH AND AXIS HF systems on my 2018 hover
