Impeccable amazing carbon fiber work...great Efoil too...but the craftsmanship on the carbon is an art on its own brother...I wish you could build a Fliteboard Efoil board for me...I have the fliteboarod Efoil but would love to have a custom board build by you. great job man

I came looking for regular Fliteboard tutorial then this... 🙌🙌🙌

[@Jeff_Rowley]

Incredible. There's levels to everything. Your carbon work is pure art. They way you wove in multi directions was insane! Beautiful work 🔥🔥🙌🙌

[@stereothrilla8374]

And it’s just that easy folks!😂😂😂

[@Kalenth]

I’m amazed that something with such precision can be made by hand. Incredible.

[@blakoemail]

The most beautiful carbon designs

[@mariusraupelis8896]

Inspiring as always!

[@radekgrabski3482]

Amazing job!

[@wesnobles]

That is gorgeous!

[@davisboring1111]

I would love to know where you sourced the battery, motor, esc from !!!

[@ugobert4909]

This is freakin Awesome!!!!!! Top notch job 👌

[@e-nalujetsurfboards3282]

Amazing! Best i have ever see

[@SammyHelsper]

Looks fantastic. I do this all the time except my parts cost $$$ airplane parts. None of this is DIY🤣.... Between the molds and the process not including the tools. For an average Joe this would be a HUGE undertaking. The resin infusion helps make the entire process a bit easier.

[@odieostrich7718]

this could have gone wrong in so many ways... MAD respect

[@Indiana07]

Holy shit awesome work and detail

[@leonardonunes5501]

Impressionante seu trabalho. Parabéns. Ficaria feliz se você ensinasse a tecer o carbono unidirecional em um tecido tridimensional, como você fez. Faz um vídeo pra ensinar.

Come sempre lavori sopraffini, impensabili da raggiungere per oggetti fatti in serie! Complimenti per la grandissima cura esecutiva e di progetto nonché la raffinatezza nelle scelte costruttive dei materiali ! Questo nuovo hydrofoil elettrico è una bella realizzazione con tanta funzionalità. Può anche essere un ottimo metodo propedeutico per apprendere gli equilibri dell'hydrofoil prima di passare al kite. Personalmente rimane superlativa la realizzazione del Box wing 2, forme eccellenti e concetti 👏 Con il doppio wing, a parità di alto AR, raddoppia la superfice totale e ne aumenta la resistenza a flessione per via della maggiore sezione geometrica. Saranno anche DIY ma sono opere d'arte della tecnologia!

[@Brucecreations77]

Grazie, troppo gentile. Il bello dei lavori artigiani' è che ti permettono di uscire dagli schemi. È pensiero libero, senza vincoli.

[@mystamo]

Bruce! So I've got some twil carbon on the top of my board like yours.. I've done a split layup design .. I want to do one layer of twil on the bottom and then put one layer of the nice cool honeycomb arimid carbon that you also use on the bottom. But wondering how I can get nice clean lines and a proper split between the twil and the honeycomb.

[@PerWiklund234]

Impressive!

[@catalinstroe22]

damn! im inspired now!

[@Joole1000]

Damn, amazing!

[@leventyanar9529]

Hi Bruce, which electric motor did you used. Would you mind to write down pls?

[@aedanosler3550]

Wow, that is so beautiful, how did you Cool your batteries in the E foil, because the battery looks to be fairly large. And did it heat up a lot whilst you were using it. Your E foil is the coolest one I have ever seen

[@Brucecreations77]

Hi Aedan, thanks. I cooled only the ESC, the battery doesn't require cooling because is correctly dimensioned. I used the foil several times full throttle for more than an hour but never gets more than 40/45°C.

[@Eden_M]

Such a talent, what type of wires are these? those phase wires with the white insulation, I couldn't find any info about those, mind sharing?

[@Brucecreations77]

Hi thanks! They are provided with the motor by FlyRodeo, I searched for them but I never find them. They are perfect for such this application because of they have a lot of copper in a thin section.

[@carbonarne675]

Creapy perfect

[@mikimimi6598]

Fantastic workmanship! How did you join top and bottom part of the board?

[@Brucecreations77]

I produced a profile that match the two half using one side of the mold and the model

[@matthiasmeiffred6068]

Hey ! Amazing job as usual on your channel. Will you present what you use in terms of motor and how it's waterproof in the nest part ? Thanks a lot.

[@Brucecreations77]

Hi Matthias, thanks, I used a Flying Rodeo motor, It is already filled with oil and there is a gasket on the shaft

[@matthiasmeiffred6068]

@@Brucecreations77 Thanks for your answer. Can't wait to see the next part !!

[@giuseppecaranti9169]

quanto pesa solo la tavola con il coperchio del case?

[@PerWiklund234]

I looked to me like you just pressed together the mast moulds halves with epoxy+milled carbon or similar over the fabric. Is that correct? Or did you vacuum bag each half first? I have done some experiments with both. And also with epoxy+micro balloons. Always a bit afraid to get air pocket and dry spots without bagging. Any secret method you would like to share?

[@Brucecreations77]

I simply wet-lay the two halves with carbon fiber until they are filled, I take care to remove the entrapped air, I put some extra resin in the middle and close and press the mold. For sure you'll have some little trapped air (very very few if you wet lay properly) but in a full carbon fiber mast it doesn't make any difference in terms of mechanical properties.

[@PerWiklund234]

@@Brucecreations77 Thanks, I will give that a try.

[@Nodeagent]

Amazing! Btw, how does the box wing work?

[@Brucecreations77]

Hi, thanks. The box wing works in the same way as the Kitefoil version that I developed through the years. Compared with wings with a similar lift is faster and easy to handle, tight turn.

[@maca5645]

Is the boxwing being developed into a commercial version?.

[@Brucecreations77]

the concept is proven but I'm working on fine-tuning.

[@giuseppecaranti9169]

ciao, bellissimo lavoro, complimenti! se ti facessi avere una sagoma in EPS riusciresti a farmi una tavola?

[@Brucecreations77]

Ciao, mi spiace ma non ne ho prorpio il tempo.

[@printrun5]

what is that green stuff you used for the mould?

[@Brucecreations77]

It's a mould making material, you can see the reference in the description

[@efoilDemis]

Ciao ammiro il tuo lavoro complimenti volevo chiederti il motore di questo video è lift ? Perché devo chiederti che tipo di esc utilizzi e se ci sono parametri da impostare all esc per non bruciare tutto

[@Brucecreations77]

Ciao, il motore è Flying rodeo e l'ESC è una trampa 75/300. Per le impostazioni è sufficiente usare il wizar.

[@efoilDemis]

@@Brucecreations77 si ok ho comprato pure io un motore fly rodeo mi deve arrivare a giorni io utilizzo un altro esc della swordfish x 300A programmabile raffreddato ad acqua facendo girare l acqua come lift vediamo come gira

[@efoilDemis]

@@Brucecreations77 ciao nel video non capisco come hai creato il pannelli di chiusura del vano , si vede due lastre di carbonio ma all interno come spessore che materiale utilizzi?

[@Brucecreations77]

@@efoilDemis Ho usato due fogli di www.easycomposites.eu/3d-core-infusion-foam-core, uno da 3 e uno da 5 mm. In un altra tavola sono andato diretto con il 10 mm. Con infusione viene un lavoro pulito, leggero e molto resistente.

[@efoilDemis]

@@Brucecreations77 ok ma bisogna resinarlo tutto o basta incollarlo con due pannelli di carbonio rigido , perché ho paura che si flette io utilizzo il nido d ape alveolare in aramidica però se posso usare altri materiali meglio dimmi te se come utilizzare questo materiale io non l ho mai usato

[@Felisargyle]

what the fuck you are so skilled...

[@fpxy00]

Hi Bruce? Would you maybe sell CAD files?

[@Brucecreations77]

There are no cad files, it's all hand shaped. I did some simulations with the Wing just to choose the profile

[@antonmaier2263]

hey bruce, is there a way to contact you?

[@Brucecreations77]

At the end of all my video there is my email

[@thomashong7016]

What motor is this? Thank you

[@Brucecreations77]

Hi, it's Flying Rodeo motor
