Thanks - I'll check with him but I think he's hoping for a 1 piece t-bar.

Got a buddy looking to get into the sport. Just seeing if anyone has a used full setup for sale. One piece t-bar would be preferred.

That would be VERY safe to assume since I don't have an anodizing shop in town and therefore NEVER have any anodized for sale. :)

Foiling fanatics,

I want to create a display of all the wings I've sold over the years, and of course was not smart enough to keep one of each wing. Here's the deal - if you have one laying...

Dominic is doing great. Has fronts pretty consistent now, and has started working on BNC's a little bit. He's off to college, so he's done skiing for the year I'm sure. It was a crazy summer for...

So for those of you beating down my door to get your hands on the Fu Manchu (new bigger/badder Stache'), your wait is almost over. The wings are supposed to arrive back from the polisher on...

The first ones were used with just short cap screws... but they were such a pain for people to find that we went back to a slider. You COULD use cap screws with the slider wings, but it would...

I would think it would work fine... for awhile. The problem with painting/powdercoating/etc wings or t-bars is that over time, the leading edges will chip with it moving in water all the time. I...

That should have all the contact info for Germonimo

Awesome! I'll give him a call and see if we can get a t-bar/wings done. Thanks!

Do you know if he can do the bright Green ano? I need to get Dominic's t-bar done.

Sorry for the confusion. 11/23 through 11/27 (so you have a few days just in case)

It's once again getting close to the time for the XTREME Black Friday Sale!!! The dates of this sale will be: Nov 23th - Nov 27th, 2017 (Thursday through Monday).

This sale is for all the wings...

OK, I THINK I finally got this thing figured out. What a PIA! Hopefully it will not show as a deceptive site any longer. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I just went into the classified's section on my PC but am not getting redirected. Are you saying by just going into that forum it redirects you to the facebook page???

I wish it was my fault - stupid Google "security". My thought was if I installed the keys required to make this a "secure" site, that message would go away. Unfortunately it did not fix the...

Depending on how big you go or how much you over-rotated the take off, it is not uncommon at all to drop a hand on a wake roll. I'm guessing that's a 32" t-bar - so it's a little hard to go very...

My fat butt breaks the 1/8" plates, but I have been known to stack two of them to make them last longer. Sucks that the 3/16" are no longer available.

Buy one! If you don't have one, it should be on TOP of your list before you upgrade anything. Saved wings/people at the Canadian Hydrofoloosa this week. I can't stress this enough - just GET...

One more thing with flying the drone, if you are just chasing the guy in one boat, it's much easier to sit in the front of the boat and control the drone from the boat. You don't really need to...

Yea, funny story. So at Powell, there are plenty of places where the drone can't get a GPS signal. So that basically means it can't fly home if stuff goes bad. I was fine where I was sitting, but...

The Raptor is 20.0" wide by 11.0" front to back

Yea I was sitting on the rocks with some goggles on... a little unnerving to say the least, but it ended up working out. If nothing else, I learned alot.

The drone was a DJI Phantom 4

Too much fun!!!

The front wing will make more of a difference in the amount of air/stability/etc. So I would upgrade that first and then the rear down the road.

I decided to make a few of the older Viper rear wings since some people were asking for them. I will have a few left, so if you were looking for one, get ahold of me asap. They will be back from...

Here's my suggestions:

Get a longer rear wing bolt - you will need it for the rear bolt hole position (and maybe a longer one for the front also). Stack two quarters and place them between the...

Not that I know of. There are strain gauges that could figure out the forces - but I don't know how you would mount them and collect data in water. Water makes everything more difficult - wireless...

Unfortunately no. We got the wings from a CF expert that said we wouldn't be able to break them. They were awesome looking - and were modeled exactly like a set of wings we were riding back then. ...

Yep - tried CF but we put way too much force on these things. CF wings absolutely exploded on takeoff. It was a crazy feeling to have a wing break into a bunch of pieces as I was taking off for a...

We've tried many, many, many different style wings over the years. Here's the problem... Making a "beginner wing" truly limits the target group. Once you figure out how to ride this thing, you...

I hit a submerged tree one time - one of the worst crashes I can remember. The lake I skied on freezes in the winter - so fishermen go out and cut any trees sticking up to the level of the ice. ...

Bremsy,

Depends on if he has negatively shimmed it in the first place. Here's some info (old but still relevant):

Agreed, you definitely need more lift! The ski isn't doing any of the work for you - you are doing it all. Once you fix that, it will help get your takeoff steeper. You need to think about the tip...

Yes, the braided rope section is for wrapped tricks to give yourself something to hold on to. I also like it because it makes the first section of the handle stiffer in hopes of not getting wrapped...

Foilforum members,

After spending way too long getting the site patched yesterday due to the security issue, a thought crossed my mind. Is it time to retire Foilforum since it is rarely used? ...

You poor guy!!! Having to ride with Bill??? :) Just kidding - he's a great guy! Welcome to the list.

Not sure of the worth of it - it would be a very limited market I'm sure. But if you are looking to sell it, let me know. I'd be interested.

Pfc ftw!!!

Thanks, Guys! I'll pass on the info.

Anyone know of a place that can do a t-bar bright green? I have lost my anodizer contact and have someone who's looking to ano his t-bar.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I about died trying ball and chains with this rope. I'd get wrapped up - the slack would allow the rope to touch the water. It would then start yanking me down - and while wrapped up, that was a...

Just a warning on flat lines - I rode with one for approximately 3 minutes before it went in the "use for something else other than foiling" bin. They are great for keeping untangled, and horrible...
