Does anyone know of suppliers of parts to DIY an EFoil in Vietnam. Ozone make kites here and was going to contact them to see what they have but thought I would check here first. Cheers
For me, it is not the same business. You could be lucky but it’s like asking to a clothing manufacturer if they sell electrical gear. Your best bet here is a call for forum members living in vietnam or the forum search function (2 hits today):

Hi SoEFoil
Thanks for your reply, yeah I hear you reservations regarding Ozone and being kite focused. I had checked their web site and they have links to foils for the kite foil boards. There is quite a bit of kiting over here some showing shots of foil boards with there promotional clips and I have found a Facebook person in Saigon talking about an EFoil. I just thought that Foil Zone would be the best starting point for DIY info.
I did try a search before starting this thread and only got 2 results not including the one that you had comments on Pacificmeister Build Info and CAD Sources - #50 by Phu_Le and have spent quite a while going through a lot of DIY info on Foil Zone…… there is a lot of helpful info and there are some very clever guys about. So I have a bill of materials for assembly and ordered a few parts out of Europe but they never arrived.
At the moment I am trying the easiest ways first and at last resort I will look at trying to make the parts (wings, mast, fuselage) myself. I have a 3D printer but no workshop at the moment. Doing any manufacturing in Vietnam for me is like trying to build a model airplane with boxing gloves on, interesting but challenging.
