Made a few different profile carbon fibre wings for my hoverglide set up.Did not have the front wing only the back.So set about making a few wings and trying them to find one that works,Made at least 6, tried & tested for performance,found 2 that suit freeride foiling, one in particular. flat ,thin ,profile ,quick to get up foiling,stable rocketing speed , great glide time.
Try to foil at least 3-4times a week especially when trying a new foil profile.

Nice work.

They look good. How did you make them?
Make sure you don't leave them assembled to the aluminum parts when not in use. Carbon will eat away aluminum in no time (much worse than stainless steel).
