Hey there Fred,
We are having some issues with Etsy, unfortunately they are very slow at responding so I have no idea what’s going on and how long this will take. We are doing all we can.
If you send me an email at info@efoil-holland.com we can arrange it directly. If you want to wait to order it via Etsy, that’s okay as well.
Greetings Kwint
Hopefully the Etsy issues are resolved. See here the new link to the product.
An update on the manual,
Since the demand for a more complete DIY kit was high, we started providing the essential parts and kits to complete your eFoil. Nowadays you can start building even easier without needing to 3D print, CNC, foam cut or lasercut any of the parts. We also started making component kits so ordering the correct small parts like screws fuses, wires, connectors and more is now in the past.
Self ordering true our parts list with links is now only needed for the main components.
Updated text as first post.
Back in 2020 me and my brother (he an electrical engineer and me an mechanical engineer) decided to design and build our own eFoil board. As nice compliments and frequent buying requests for our boards kept on coming in we decided to share our files with others.
This manual contains everything to get you through this build an on to your own build eFoil in no time.
What you’ll get:
-Nearly 200 pages of build instructions to build our board from A to Z, including detailed pictures, schematics and drawings.
-STL files
-DXF files
-Ordering list
-List of costs
-Foam cutting plans
-Electric schematic
-Water-cooling schematic

Hey Kwint,
Love what you’re doing, hoping to try to build one soon! You said you now provide essential parts and kits, is there a separate link or site to order that (outside of the etsy product, I mean)? Does all of the ordering work for U.S. buyers? Thanks!
Thanks a lot @Emenel,
The products will soon be in our website, for now we have an order list of the available parts from us in the parts list document. We ship all our parts world wide but unfortunately this is nearly impossible with the 1.1 and 2.07kWh batteries. With non air delivery in Europe its doable but unfortunately for now overseas is to much paperwork and not cost effective. Take in mind that we do send the precut XPS boards but they becomes very expensive due to its size, so we advice to cut these yourself a with the provided instructions in the manual.
greetings Kwint
Thanks for the details, appreciate it! I see what you mean, shipping a lot of those parts wouldn’t be worth it. I’ll consider my options, thanks!
Long time listener, first time caller here. I stalked this website for quite sometime after building several eskate. The board for me was always the short stick in the equation. I went through with Kwint’s process above and put together efoil in about 1 month of starting This included board shaping/fiberglassing. Guide was perfect, parts they sent to US were perfect, and their assistance was excellent. Thanks again guys.
Hey @macfly1202,
Once bought you get a file where you can click the link to our drive. We will add you to the viewing list and you can access all the files and documents.
If there are any issues please contact us via Etsy or email.
Greetings kwint
@Kwinty thanks for answer - I succeded to access the file. I highly suggest you to specifiy on Etsy this is not an instant access but review access by an human so there is a delay.
Thanks will add it in the readme
