Hello from the Netherlands.
Hey there efoil builders! Ever since i have seen videos of the efoil im very interested in riding one my self. I have been following some of the builders. Investing in crowdfunding. And i would like to be starting a rental business in the near future with these efoils and stuff. I have never been foiling but i want to try it. Is there anyone who has one ready and wants to sell it to me for a good price? I live in the netherlands. So someone in europe would be the best option i think. Hope to hear from someone.
Hi everybody,
I introduce myself. I like mechanics and electronic, and I race in Hydrofoil international competitions from some year.
I want to publicly thank pacificmeister for this initiative of information sharing and I am waiting to have some clear ideas to start my build. I am editor of Redirecting... and I hope you do not mind if I will post some of the interesting stuff I find here on the new page Redirecting...
Please look at it and put a like!
See you soon on the water.

hey all,
My name is Shaw, I’m an industrial designer working for a Stratospheric Industries, Inc. that makes X-Jets hydroflight gear, the jet ski connected hydroflight jetboards and jetpacks. Previous experience was building snowboard factories and designing the board composite structures and manufacturing technigues, etc. First like to express my appreciation to PacficMeister for organizing this board and his sharing and open sourcing of his efoil project. From my experience in various sports this attitude builds a more robust industry then a patenting, over protective mentality.
We have been working on the study of the efoil project for a little while now and are exploring developing a commercial product for 2018. We are based in Shanghai and have our own factory not far from the city where we build our hydroflight gear. We have built a full carbon board this year [ Scorpion ] and had great success with the design in competitions. Our specialization is in high end gear.
Additionally we are working with a Florida based company called Flytronics, and have redesigned and are building their jet ski remote control at our Shanghai factory. Full waterproof to 5-8 meters, trigger based remote controls with a range of 200 plus meters. Naturally we (and Flytronics) see the application of this radio handle to efoils! We do not own the IP for the handle, that is owned by Flytronics and we cannot discuss the exact details of the inner workings, however on the community sharing side, we are happy to contribute on the directions and strategies for waterproofing designs.
This is the molded Flytronics production remote that starts, stops, and remotely throttle controls 300HP motors and the riders hopefully infrequent full 20 meters height drops into the water.
We look forward to participating in this new community.

Hi form Bavaria,
I like all watersports and have tried to build a jet drive on and off for the last two years for a surfboard. I designed my pump with a 6374 200kv outrunner on a 48V Powersupply and a VESC 4.12 for monitoring. I tried various cooling methods but could only get about 11kg of static thrust.
I really like the forum here, especially because you have posted some performance data. I struggled to get numbers on the necessary power and thrust for surfing. As an mechatronics engineer I would really like to have a more systematic approach

Bonjour Vincent, Je me suis dit que j’allais demander de l’aide en français pour avoir l’air moins bête… Comment fait-on pour “poster” sa présentation ici? Je ne trouve pas le bouton…
salut. tu parles de créer un nouveau ropic ou de réponde à un topic existant
Les deux. Je n’arrive même pas à trouver comment me présenter dans le présent “topic”. En fait je crois que je viens de comprendre. Il faut répondre à un des “posts” précédents, c’est ça?
Hello everybody,
Introducing myself: a telecommunications engineer and avid kiteboarder, I’ve been interested in eFoils for a while, just got more time now… Never had the opportunity to deal with motors of any kind, although I am an E.E. (at least I think I am), so I am learning a lot from this great forum!
Currently starting a build with 100Kv Maytech 65162, homemade ESC (still cooking) PrusaMK3 printer and scavenged liquid force foil.
Trying to do it scientifically using tools to compute the thrust need, motor performance and JavaProp to design the propeller…
Ah, one last word: I am a woman! It’s not really relevant to the project, but I’m curious to see if there are others…

Hello,
I am Yasen Vakarelski.
From Sofia, Bulgaria.
I have recently joined this forum and thank you for the interesting ideas and comments.
This past summer, I tried efoil for the first time and was hooked.
I am determined to build one and am already working on it.
To my surprise, I found out that there is a production of efoils in Bulgaria. I contacted their representative but nothing good came of it. Logically, they make them to sell them for a lot of money.
So, lying down on my experience as a modeler (helicopters, airplanes) and windsurfers, I set to work.
I have already done a lot, but I still have a lot to do.
Optimistically, I will be riding my own rig this summer.
I will be very happy if someone from the region or countries close to Bulgaria also works in this direction and is willing to cooperate.
Welcome and good background !
Thanks for the welcome.
It was same with me bu one year earlier.
Thanks for understanding.
I am impressed with your designs. Many revolutionary ideas. Unfortunately for me, I saw them in the forum when I was significantly advanced with my project, but in another path.
