Thanks for the good tips. Can anyone comment on my proposed glassing schedule? I will plan on using 2 extra layers of carbon around the mast attachment area for extra stiffness.

And a used board would be great... but I've already bought the materials! I'm past the point of no return now!

Hi all, I've been making good progress on my homebuilt foil, and now I'm getting down to planning my foilboard build. I have a 5'8 2lb EPS blank, which is stringerless. I am planning on a finished board of about 5'4" length and 23" width. Can anyone suggest an ideal thickness? I haven't been able to...

I'm just about halfway through my first foil-build, and now need to consider the board the foil will be attached to. I don't have a directional kiteboard to convert, so am considering whether to make a dedicated foilboard or buy a used surfboard and add a mounting system. I've build a couple of surf...

Thanks for the info. I'm working on a homebuilt hydrofoil in anticipation of an extended trip to San Diego this summer and was wondering what kites to bring. Looks like I'll be OK with my 12m and 15m. I appreciate the info!
