I'm trying to build an eFoil on a budget. I think I am getting there. This was the first time I have ever tried an eFoil and I have very limited experience foiling. After reviewing the video all I need to do is put more pressure on the back of the board to get airborne as I have plenty of speed. Water was too cold to do any more testing lol.
The foil is cheap one from Aliexpress with the following specs: Front wing: approximately 1165 cm², Rear wing: approximately 350 cm², Mast: 60 cm.
The motor I used: amzn.to/4hpDxaj
The controller: amzn.to/4bOCaku
The batteries: amzn.to/4in49dt
Waterproof box: amzn.to/4hr40V8
Donor board was an old prone foil board 5'5" x 22" x 3 1/4".
