CrazyFoil Shadow SE Hydrofoil: 26” Aluminum Mast, Jet Track Flight, Versatile for Wing, Kite, Surf & Boat Sports.

I bought this foil because of the price, I paired it with a liquid force wake surf board. Initially I thought it wasn’t too bad, the front wing loosened up after the first use. So I put it on tighter after the second use the threads on the fuselage that connected the front wing stripped out making the foil useless, there are so few threads for it to grab it stripped quickly. Instead of sending it back I removed the threads and got longer bolts with a lock nut. That fixed my issue and it’s been running great ever since. It is on the cheaper so you get what you pay for. Looks a little dumb with the bolts and nuts. It probably has more drag because of them. But works fine for me.

Bought my crazy foil after much consideration around designing my own. I attached foil to a wakeboard that did NOT have the tract system. I drilled 4 holes in the wake board to attached the mast. The 1st day I was being towed on a 40ft ski tow line and it was hard to get up and stay up on the foil. After 2 days of struggling, we shortened the rope and rode the 1st wave right behind the boat. What a difference. we could foil behind the boat mostly pumping with only using the rope for guidance. There are probably more expensive and better options, but for the money and ease of set up, this did the trick. I am 38 years old and it allowed me to get into a new hobby.

Typical foils are made of carbon fiber or aluminum, this one is made of "composite", which is plastic. Very expensive for what it is.
