No such thing as a ridiculous idea

Ah yes I remember that, pity it was only the wake board.

I do wonder if this is worth considering. Maybe a small surf foil with a short mast onto a decent surfboard.

The issue will be that you can never touch the water while the board is flat or the rocker will suck you down, so it needs to some kind of setup that you can rail to rail

Just saw, so close

This is exactly what I feel like when I miss my pop up hahaha

I think I’ve found it. Efoil with the battery in the mast… ridiculous! Interesting channel

Asymmetric stab!!

I once broke half of my stab off wile winging and didn’t realize it and thought - This feels kind of funny - then I got in and I was like -What happened to the other half. Amazing how little difference it made Winging

Rayfoil - battery in the mast

Fascinating. Looks terrible. I guess with efoil you have so much power, and ride such crude foils, that the impact is negligible. That much mast chord and thickness seems like a terrible compromise, cool that people are trying it

:sweat_smile:

Asymmetrical front foil

Any pump foilers explain what is going on here? Roll stabiliser?

Looks like it is meant to prevent the jack-knifing of the foil to prevent injury for beginners.

Taco prevention device. Got it.

Would be interested to know how effective it is, by my crude understanding of physics, the wider the foil span, the more roll resistance you have, and adding a lot of drag with potentially quite limited roll prevention with that stubby fin.

Nice

Has much as I hate every scooter related product, adding a handlebar to a pumpboard is probably the best way to allowed everybody to pumpfoil! It look so simple and easy.

I really love that guy. Honestly, I never thought my kids would like pump foiling, but I think they would like this. Marketing genius honestly the way that video is put together. But also, just a great idea to pull these things together into a product.

his sincerity makes me want to buy a pump scoot

can we get an ultrasonic transducer that reduces drag between a board and water for drag reduction on liftoff?

Also: https://flushfasteners.com/ How much would a bolt with no tool hole help with drag? (Or would it break because of the missing internals?)

Where can I buy just the handle, not the board?

What do you think on making a pump board from off the shelf carbon plate?
I was thinking order 18mm carbon plate from Alibaba and cut it in a board shape to be pump board
