Axis Wing Set
New Beauties for Pumping
After dozens of severe impacts it was about time to replace my old home-made 1150 Axis front wing and my 460 back wing with a new pair.
I've decided to go for ECC eSpread275CHT carbon fiber deck layer because it looks awesome 💪 For making the wings I re-used my …
V-Tail for Pumping
Rapid Prototyping
This v-shaped stabi has been in my head for quite a while already: 240 mm span, 82 sqcm area, GOE599 profile at -2deg AOA.
It feels similar to pumping without a stabilizer but it is more reactive.
"6/10 would not build again 😅 but it paved the way for an …

Armstrong Fuselage A+System Upgrade
Drilling Titanium
The latest Armstrong A+System promises a better rigidity between mast-fuselage and fuselage-front wing. For large wings upgrading my old fuselage to the new A+System did indeed improve the firmness of these connections.
If you already have a A+System fuselage but an old mast or front wing you need the Armstrong …
Steel Inserts for Moses Mast
Replacing Brass with Stainless Steel Inserts
Many Moses foil owners I have talked to have had problems with ripping out the thread of the brass inserts of their deep tuttle masts. Both of my inserts broke after about 20 sessions and ruined what could have been a nice afternoon on the water.
This picture shows how …
Deep Tuttle to Plate Adapter
675 g of Carbon, Glass and Epoxy
To use a board with a rail system or the foiling power plate with a deep tuttle head foil mast an adapter is needed. Most manufacturers sell them as accessories to their foils but since I had plenty of time while waiting for my foil order to arrive I decided …
Fanatic Aero Fuselage Shortening
One Fuselage for Two Settings
Most pump-foiling videos use the Fanatic Aero foil with the 'short' 640 mm instead of the 'long' 800 mm fuselage. Since I hadn't progressed much in how far I could pump with the smaller back wing I decided to give it a try and added a second mounting position at …
Custom Back Wing
For the Fanatic Aero 2500 Foil
Using test foils from Armstrong we learned that a small back wing increases the 'pumpability' noticeably. To this point I always had the custom 365 cm2 back wing on my Fanatic Aero foil that in comparison to the Armstrong back wings we tested is quite large. Naturally I also …
