This might help: Hydrofoil Hardware Finder (mackiteboarding.com)
I always just pick up A4 stainless m6 x 30mm from the hardware store when I need to. It is marine grade stainless - I’ve never seen a hint of corrosion. Often has the same brand markings as the hardware that Lift sends.
Lift includes a full set of hardware with all their front wings - so you should be good to go!

Hey Dan, sorry I was on Oahu yesterday. I am running the 28" M2 for downwind. I ran NoLimitz before this, also a great mast, but I like the fit on the Lift M2’s better.

Finally had a chance to film and do some very minor edits to my 130 X review. Here it is:
Also, a few more notes. I have been riding the 20 carve and the Florence 21 tail. Both are very good. The 21 is slower than the 20 carve, but only fractionally so. If you keep the foils high in the water, which this tail makes it very easy to do, then it is almost as fast, plus it pumps better and has great drive. If you can keep it high and run the 20 Carve, you will be faster Downwind.
I rode 3 back to back Maliko runs last Friday, and I rode 3 back to back Hawaii Kai runs with it yesterday. I am getting a pretty good feel for it now. Please hit me up with questions. Thanks all, and sorry the video is almost 10 minutes…so much to say

Did you tried with the KD tails ?
thx I’m setup on the 130x.
Great question Kezia. Wehn the Carve 20 came out, I sorta switched to using that tail full time. I still think the KD tails are amazing, and I feel bad that I have not even got to test the downwind race tails (pretty sure I own ever other KD tail made)! The advantage that the Lift tails have is the connection to the fuse. The top or bottom mount vs the integrated seems to be faster, now that the Lift tails have improved so much. I still miss being able to tune the tails for sure. Maybe getting a more hydrodynamic tail would be the ticket…let me know if you know of a really good one. I have two from Foilparts.com, but both have their drawbacks IMO.

Thanks for the input
You convinced me to order the 21F
Depending on how I feel with it, i’ll get myself a 20 and extender.
I was on KD 15R with the 110 and 14M with the 150. Both on foil parts long fuse.
Got the 110 and 130 today, but have to return the 130 because it has some damages.
Hopefully I can give this new 110 a try tomorrow but forecast seems a bit light.

Wing tips is damaged. I guess because of transportation.
Has anyone tested the new DW Lift boards? I’m interested but have only seen one review so far (Great Lakes waterman’s)
Any word on a possible new Lift V3 Surf Series?

Gwen & Damo were filming some interesting promos down at Hatchery today… looks like 3 new DW boards of different widths, and a handful of foils. I’d keep an eye on their YT channels in the coming days.

Just got my first runs with the 130 today. I’m suprised on how easy it is.
Definitly faster than the 150. Not much harder to take off.

Not yet.
As usual, when I get a new wing I don’t have the conditions to use it 
Since summer started, we had light / medium wind with very low to no swell.
At 95kg I need solid conditions for the 110 (at least the v1).

Awesome!! Love it, yeah its a great wing
UPDATE on my Experience with the Florence 130X
Having had the 130 for over a month now, I feel very comfortable with it. It is a fast wing. At my weight (175), it is about 0.5 mph slower than the 110 v2, but it can be faster on certain days and in specific conditions. I wish I had my times from the Imua race, but they started 5 minutes early, and I didn’t get a chance to set my watch.
I used the Florence 130 with the 20 carve. The wind was NE instead of the more usual ENE, but the bumps were good. I had a terrible start; nerves got to me with the early start, and I stood up and fell in, which rattled me. It probably took only 45 seconds to get going, but over 8 miles, that’s a lot of time to recover.
That said, I passed a lot of people once I got going, and I know some of them were on the 110, but they were lightweight. I was also able to pump to the finish, which I probably wouldn’t have been able to do on the 110. It was the right call for me on the day, and that’s what having a few race foils is all about—matching your weight to the wind and wave speeds.
M2M is on Friday, and M2O is on Sunday. I hope to run the 130X in both races, probably with the 21X tail. More info from those races for sure…Wind looks terrible for M2M, praying for wind over here.

For what its worth I had a 2:03 km on the 130 2 days ago on Lake Erie. The wind was side shore with lots of cross chop + big rollers. In more lined up conditions I have no doubt it’d go faster.
Yesterday conditions were much smaller and I was going as slow as 2:40 per km.

I know it’s not designed for it, but had one of the most fun prone sessions on the 130 this morning. 3.5ft at 5sec on our local bouy. Paired with the hm 28" lift mast and the John John stab. Felt good, really direct, super efficient fast glides. Good foil for staying up and connecting a ton of waves.
Real excited for a lift v3 surf line
