WOW that's really helpful. How did you obtain that graph? Did you measure the wing yourself? Thanks a lot!

I have a CRX hydrofoil and I'm interested in knowing the area of the front wing. Couldn't find that info.

Does anyone know? Even an approximate size. And what type of hydrofoil is it? Speed? Ease of use? Not sure what its intended design is.

How do I clean the bladder to re apply the old valves? Because residue of the old glue remains in the bladder. On my other kite I used acetone to clean the old glue but this bladder is very sensitive to the acetone...

My 2017 Switchblade leaks air. The main inflation valve began to peel off from the inside towards the outside and almost reached the edge (it had no leaks on that valve though). It still had a 2mm ring of glue but I wanted to remove it and then reglue with 3M 5200 glue. I peeled off all the other va...

Thanks, I installed the rear wing shim so that the leading edge is lower and the trailing edge is higher. Just a 1 degree change made a difference. It's now with a 3 degree shim. I do feel more lift and find it more stable. Maybe it's easier to go slower too because of the added drag.

I'm learning how to foil on a Neil Pryde/Cabrinha CR-X Hydrofoil. The board I use is a Double Agent. The hydrofoil comes with different shims. (I'm not showing the ones that are already installed on the wings) IMG-0608.jpg Someone said this helps first timers to increase the angle of attack providin...

I use PC-7 and PC-11 epoxy paste. It sands well and can be smoothed with a wet finger (wear gloves) or alcohol/methylated spirits/denatured alcohol. Try and get the epoxy smooth and don't smear it around too much so you don't have to sand too much. You can mask it and/or clean off the excess with a...

I have a Cabrinha CRX hydrofoil. I barely scratched the rear stabilizer wing. It's a 1 mm deep at most. The carbon composite is now exposed. I know that with surfboards you need to keep the board off the water until you seal with epoxy because if the foam gets wet it means trouble. But what about hy...

Someone offered to sell me an XR6 without bar. I have a Cabrinha 2015 bar (low V I think). Is it compatible?
What type of bar does the XR6 have?
Eject line system?

Did you attempt to fix?
