The Homebuilt Hydrofoil

Dad and I saw some videos on YouTube of people using Air Chairs and Sky Skis, but only a couple of videos of people standing up on any sort of hydrofoil. We looked at hydrofoils carefully on several websites, and then designed our own. We built the main strut out of two threaded stainless steel rods that we wrapped in fiberglass. The rest is built out of plywood and epoxy and a few bolts. I will post more pictures of the final result soon. We have used it and it works great! In my next post I will link to a video that I'm posting on YouTube right now.
