> First time in the water for the YAHEF. My neighbor was kind to lend me his pool this afternoon. FR prop, FS65161 motor, 30 kg of thrust at 41 amps from the battery and 85 amps on the motor, around 3500 rpm with full throttle . Water temp 29C and max 52C on FSESC. I think it’s possible to squeeze out some more if I change from duty cycle to amps or RPM. Need to do some coding, making it possible to change this on the remote. Also I’ don’t remember the limits I set on the FSESC. Will have another…

> Hi @all! 2 years ago i saw in Youtube (while i seachring something about Kitesurfing) first time a eFoil. I was fascinated from that and i decide, i want that too. Little bit later i was shocked about the price from such foils. One year later i saw in TV again a efoil and looking around the internet and found this forum. Since that moment i read a lot, i do some constructions in Fusion 360 (i want to put Akkus, ESC and motor in a Torpedo) mut i decide 1 meter can perhaps to long. So, now i…
There are some more builds,
Not easy to get an inflatable board, ask @Jezza if he is ready with his inflatable.
Mala is difficult to get in contact.
Then there is wimsi foil: [https://www.whimsifoil.com](https://www.whimsifoil.com)

It is not so easy to build a box for an inflatble. Although my setup works quite well, it is rather difficult to get the ESC box waterproof. Assembly also takes some time, but it is really stable due to the mast scews going through the top plate. Passive cooling is a big plus but adds some weight. If I’d start from scratch, I would put the esc inside the dry zone. What works really well, is the hatch, never had a single drop of water inside, the only drawback is max battery size that fits in.

or you buy a F2 inflatable SUP foil from Lidl in Germany for only 699€ complete with foil.
Add flipsky motor +Remotecontrol and Trampa ESC, put in ESC Mast Box of e-foil@elevate.rocks add a battery that you put on top in waterproof case and you get a DIY efoil for only 2500€

Do you have experience with this setup? Are you from Germany?
Do you have information about the box from Elevate.rocks?

Not really a Sup Foil (3 footstraps), not even on the F2 website but an interesting price…

Has anyone tried these? I’d be excited to experiment with one if I got some positive feedback before splashing out 800 euro…

Hey buddy! So, I just put together this build, and let me tell you, I went with an inflatable board for a few reasons. First off, it’s super compact for storage. Plus, it’s cheap and really easy to use for projects like this. Take a look at what I made!

I ignored this guy so I don’t see his posts, but let me guess what’s going on here. A talented Russian rocket engineer is calling on people who died in 2021 to be resurrected to see what miracle he performed in 2024. I’m right?
