Sorry for your collective loss! You all spent eFoil money and got the rug pulled out on you. I think it’s possible to keep the boards running but not everyone will like the kind of technical work involved and then needing to repair and troubleshoot themselves.

I don’t own a GetfFoil board but I was thinking about this yesterday and how these boards could be converted. There are a few old threads mentioning Foil boards, a few interesting things to learn.

Another old thread where someone from GetFoil (maybe Kyle?) is discussing the boards design before it launched. A few interesting things to learn, like the battery has all their logic boards, including the receiver.
