Thanks for the advice. I am using the liquid force hydrofoil which is aluminium, think the bolts might be steel.

I was wondering if anyone could advise me on the best grease for a metal hydrofoil mast to stop the bolts welding to the mast. I have purchased some silicon grease which I have read can be used to stop corrosion. Does anyone know if the Universal PTFE grease is more suitable?

Great video. Really shows the potential of filming with drones.

Dont really konw Ant Baker except for speaking him on the beach a couple of times. I have always wondered why so many people seem to dislike him. Recently came across this article about him in a local newspaper: http://www.worthingherald.co.uk/news/newly-elected-tory-councillor-suspended-from-party-...

Probably not a lot of places close carp arks over night to stop people doing just that and local residents might call police and report vans left overnight. Best off just stayin in a side road nearby away from residential property

One of my experiences of learning hydrofoiling has been getting my lines wrapped about the hydrofoil. In this situation the safety is totally useless and is one of the reasons why I dont intend on hydrofoiling in strong winds! My solution to this was to basically totally release from the bar and the...

Shoreham is pretty good - especially if you are learning. Not too busy, you can foil and low tide and there are no groynes to worry about. There are also a few other foilers down there so you are not likely to be alone in light winds.

This may help some people who are trying to get longer rides on their foil:

Thanks for starting this thread, makes reassuring reading for somebody like myself The moses had a really good review in iksurf and its looks to be well priced. Hopefully I'll keep the carbon in good order Tony Goods luck with the trip you should be up and riding before too long :) Just remember yo...

I purchased a Liquid Force Rocket Fish Hydrofoil at the Armarda after getting a great deal from S2AS and Liquid Force. As a pretty average rider I thought I would give a short review of my initial experience of it after 1 session . After my first session I can ride along and engage the foil (althoug...

New World Record was set by the Kite Armarda this year. Congratulations to everyone involved

Hey Chris, Good to hear from you, long time. I am looking forward to getting back, between work and the distance from the coast I have only had 2 sessions this year in January. Is lancing still pretty busy ? Are many people foiling in the light wind days ? Tim lancing still pretty busy. There are a...

Hi Tim, Steve and myself still go to shoreham. yes lancing bksa has a beach hut now. most of the same people are still kitesurfing locally. 5mm winter suit should be fine unless it is really cold. Hope to see you down the beach sometime, Chris.

OK, couple of questions If you're going to make a kiteboard for yourself, then why are there questions to how much I want to pay for a board? what size do I need? I thought it would be about the board you wanted, not the one I want. What point am I missing except for a fictitious survey monkey ? So...

filled it in. Seriously guys don't mess up this kids questionnaire ffs
