Review on πŸ„ CISIMOVE Exclusive Big Wing Full Carbon SUP Hydrofoil with Aluminum Parts: The Ultimate Surf Foil for Maximum Performance by Henry Brown

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Be willing to work on it a bit

I knew it wouldn't be premium gear at this price point, but I was willing to take the risk. There is a lack of equipment and workmanship. I have made the following modifications: - Sawed off the fuselage pocket a bit so that the mast fits. It didn't fit when it was delivered. - Four holes drilled in the base plate to fit standard 8mm screws. Drilled out these holes. The countersinks on the front and rear fenders have been increased slightly to more evenly position equipment. The bolts attaching the hull to the mast are too long (the holes aren't cut deep enough) so I cut the bolts. 1/4" down. - Fuselage sits loosely on front wing. I applied 5 layers of aluminum tape to tighten it and one end is still sloppy. One of the wing tips was damaged so I intend to lightly fix it on each side to grind to get rid of the cracked wing tip.Two 8mm bolts per connection, he uses three 6mm bolts to attach the mast to the baseplate and the mast to the fuselage.Shape, higher aspect than the I84, and i think they will work fine HS1850 and 1250 and i love them i have had about 15-20 sessions of wingfoil and about the same amount of wakefoil since i turned on armstrong i put this chinese foil on a wakeboard today to try trying it out behind a boat it handles very well which is no surprise the rear kick is more than my 232 armie and the whole setup works very well I went through the second trail behind my 13-foot Boston Whaler (ie small waves) and it was great fun and well organized. I did 4 or 5 wake transitions (from 2nd to 2nd) and it went smoothly. Overall I'd say it was a decent price after spending some time fixing a faulty design. The low weight alone was a plus compared to the heavy slingshot material. I won't give up my Armstrong gear but it's worth staying on the boat and using it regularly.
