Hello Community,
my name is Frank. I live in southwest Germany, very close to a well known, renowned jetboard manufacturer. I am an enthusiastic passive reader since the beginning of the forum.
I already became an Efoil fan with Pacificmasters video documentary. Since then I have been following this fascinating hobby and it was clear that sooner or later I would also build a DIY-Efoil.
The forum is great and has many innovative hobbyists to whom I take my hat off.
You can get a lot of knowledge, ideas and tips just by reading and studying.
So you are can see so many incredible and awesome builds.
Yesterday I could finally water my own homebuild and this is now the time to finally register in this forum.
The first ride didn’t get to the foiling in standing but I was very satisfied with the performance. Unfortunately my Antisparkswitch said goodbye and I had to end the session after half an hour.
Beside the smoked switch there are also some small leakage problems…
I like the design of Fliteboard very much and I have orientated myself a little bit here. Still working on the optical impression, the technical side is more important for now.

Board : Airush Monaro Size 190x70cm shortened to 166cm
