DIY hydrofoil build .... build porn at it's finest!

i watched the last video, part 13, and it looks awesome! what is the total cost of just materials?

looks like someone made it for sale already and the price is $6000! https://www.liftfoils.com/products/efoil

you can preorder it with 6.000$ deposit; the price is 12.000$

Yes, price is $12K, but there is new one being developed on Kickstarter that will bolt onto almost any hydrofoil using different mount types and its a video series starting up on how to build one as well. Kickstarter ends in about 24 hours.

You can see it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/834430643/diy-electric-hydrofoil-and-surfboard-remote-propul

Dear electric foil builders,

The http://efoil.builders community just went live. We kept it very similar to this forum, built on the same technology. There is a fast growing interest in electric foiling with many special topics. We need more than a thread on a forum and this is why we started this. We expect a lot of collaboration and information exchange between the efoil and eskate communities. I also open sourced all my CAD designs.

Please come join us for an in-depth discussion on electric hydrofoils.

sick! can’t wait to follow along!

@Msk8 I don’t know if you did it, or if it possible at all, but I would recommend to talk with esk8’s moderators, I myself would find it great if all esk8 registrations would bi life on efoil too.

To be honest the 2 things are very similar, the same electric components, both are boards… Just a small difference, one has wheels the other propellers :slight_smile:

Would be great with all registrations be the same on the 2 sites. I can imagine, that they would collaborate better, if they would somehow be partner sites. Like ebay, doesn’t mater where you register, you do it in all, and your search is worldwide :slight_smile: Something simlar here would be great.

Have a nice work on the new site :slight_smile:

Interesting idea @Steve-81. Something to look into more. Just read that discourse has multi-site/SSO features.

Sorry I’m not a programmer, I don’t have a clue how you could build this up, but I do think it would be a win-win for both communities

@Msk8 eSk8 does support SSO from major providers like Google, Facebook, etc… perhaps we should turn that on too?

Good idea. Let’s discuss.

Very cool Tueboard! Love this idea, may take some time to get enough builders/project to fill it up, but love the visual aspect VS reading thousands of pages on a regular forum.

My efoil is coming together and we are working on new waterproof surfboard remote control that will go into production and available for the DIY community. It will work with eSkateboards, eSurfboard, eFoils, eSUP’s…
