Not the best comparison, but might help in order to choose foil.
This video is on the takuma foil (SUP hydro foil-A)
This video is on the windsurf foil 2050g wing.
The kite foil will also work, but it requires more speed and therefor more difficult to ride.

As a point of reference:
Ordered from: Kite Hydrofoil In Surfing Plate Base Aluminum Mast Is Hollow - Buy Kite Hydrofoil,Hydrofoil Carbon Fober,Hydrofoil Aluminum Mast Product on Alibaba.com
They shipped almost a month after I ordered and took a bit of hassling. Be aware it only ships with a 65cm mast.
However, I’m reasonably convinced it’s a copy/OEM of the Slingshot Hover Glide NF2: https://www.kitepower.com.au/products/slingshot-hoverglide-nf2-2018?variant=777500229659
That’s not a bad thing, as it’s got some excellent reviews.
Felix, David, you got Mail
Looking forward and will post here when we received the foil!

Anyone in 'lil New Zealand wanting one also? I’m getting one in soon (next week or so), would be good to split the shipping.

Sure they’re a snug fit but they hold well (ignore the fact the mast is black and slingshot, the chinese one is the same as the slingshot mast/foil.
Here’s the fusion with the latest version, let me know if you need me to export the STL of the mount.

Purchased locally here in Australia:
High quality 8AWG wire will fit down each channel.
If you’re operating in salt water, then tinned marine grade is best.
Hi
It looks really shiny
will need a good sand back to get the best out of it

Anyone ever purchased this hydrofoil? It says it has hollow aluminum mast, available in 60, 70, 80 cm length. What Length would be best? I’m thinking 80cm would be best so the motor does not suck in air when on foil. Any opinions?
@MaB I have that exact foil. It arrived last week, I haven’t had a chance to test yet. Unfortunately mine arrived with some chips in the front wing. It is a lot heavier than I thought for a cf wing. Other than that it looks pretty good. Mast is suitable for running cables, it is the same as slingshot mast I believe. Let me know if there’s anything specific you want to know?
At that price its probably glasfibre with a final carbon fibre layer. Doesn’t make sense from a statics viewpoint.
