Re: Chinese KB Hydrofoil : 300 USD + shipment

FYI: Those boards certainly aren't glass on foam. They have a seam all the way round the rail between the two half thermo molded skins over a foam core. Pretty sure you can call em plastic. Two things... - I'm pretty sure they are epoxy/glass over foam. Not 100% sure, but pretty close. - When you s...

Re: Chinese KB Hydrofoil : 300 USD + shipment

With two sets of wings and the short mast, not a bad deal at all. But I would opt for the long fuselage over the short mast. The longer fuselage will reduce the pitch response while you're learning, then you move to the regular one. From what I've seen and heard most people only use the short mast f...

Yes it's heavy. No, it's not plastic. And your better option doesn't include a foil.

Re: Chinese KB Hydrofoil : 300 USD + shipment

stasfire this looks like a great deal to me. It's the same board I learned on and still use. I've got a couple hundred sessions on mine.

Re: Chinese KB Hydrofoil : 300 USD + shipment

Deals like the Happy Foil for $500 come up here and there. But you have to jump on them. I do think you'll have a much better time starting this way. I've got a buddy with the JNJ foil that asked me to test ride it for him because he didn't yet have enough experience. I thought it was a good setup, ...

Re: Chinese KB Hydrofoil : 300 USD + shipment

For $1100 you can get this one brand new. This is where I bought my setup and these guys were great. No tax or shipping costs by the way.

Re: Chinese KB Hydrofoil : 300 USD + shipment

I have to agree with BWD. Starting with a known cheap/used foil and selling it to upgrade is your best bet in my opinion. I bought the LF Foilfish brand new for $1K at the beginning of last season. I've seen them used for $500. This is the board, mast, fuselage, wings, and a longer fuselage for lear...

Re: Chinese KB Hydrofoil : 300 USD + shipment

It looks like the H4 front wing is $549 by itself. Is there a cheaper source?

Re: Chinese KB Hydrofoil : 300 USD + shipment

That stick-on mount seems sketchy, but I have to admit this video of it is pretty impressive.
