Pull the servos apart and resolder some new wires the full length you need them to be from inside the servo. that way when you put the servo back together the solder points are sealed inside and water proof. then other end of the wires will be up in your box on top of the board all sealed up aswell

You should point the sonar sensors forward, like 45° this way you get a more stable signal, as wave heights have less effect. It will also naturally stabilize better, because if you pitch down, the sensor readings will also shorten, instead of getting longer (because you're moving it now to a negative angle if you pitch down). Same for pitching up, as this will increase the sensor readings. You just need to do some trigonometry to figure out the real height :) It will also do some look ahead, giving the board a better chance to raise above waves coming towards you. I would also recommend moving them in the center of the board, and stack in a line in direction of movement. This avoids that if you turn, one sensor reads high and one reads low. It would also make sense to add a third sensor, so you can use median instead of average to cancel out ripple noise. This would also avoid that waves can cause harmonic effects on your stabilization circuit, which might be what you experienced in the end.

If you wanna get fancy you can use winsorized mean with 10%/90%, which gives smoother outputs compared to median, but still rejects most errors, spikes and harmonics.

But it's not so robust for major outliers - meaning above or below the usually expected data, and thus can cause major elevator inputs, if a sensor reads weird spikes.

This is a great project, well executed! I enjoyed watching the whole video. You were surprised by the system's pitch stability. There is an effect with tailed hydrofoils that may not be obvious - I will attempt to describe it. The amount of lift the wing makes at a given angle of attack varies according to its proximity to the water surface. When deep underwater, the wing makes maximum lift because it is engaged with water below and above. As the wing approaches the water surface, lift diminishes because it is engaging less water (and more air). This is analogous to variation in wing aspect ratio. Close to the water surface is effectively less aspect ratio. So: as the wing moves up toward the surface, lift decreases. This effect may be quantified in terms of depth divided by wingspan. The same effect occurs for your horizontal tail. The wing is lifting upwards. With a forward center of gravity (CG), your tail may be lifting downwards. In this case, as the vehicle moves upwards, the wing makes less lift and the tail makes less downforce. These changes combine to provide a nose-down moment with increased height, and vice-versa. This provides the strong height stability that you observed. This can be adjusted with CG location. Moving the CG aft (and re-trimming the tail), results in reduced height stability but maybe slightly better performance. This mechanism enables the fixed hydrofoils we are seeing on kite boards, sailboards, and wing foils. I hope this note is helpful to you. Please keep up the good work and the videos! Best wishes...

Since you do things with water a lot, and have 3d printer sponsors etc... Have you considered making video to test different ways to seal/waterproof/composite 3d printed parts? Like those large PLA parts this project uses. It'd be interesting to know what works in what application etc. Like a broken record I keep going on about making composite parts by printing with thicker walls + slicer forced internal sprues + minimum gyroid required to make the part printable - then open a wall and fill the inside with PU foam/resin depending on if the part needs to be light or heavy. Other ways are covering the printed part with something (like the oldest glue tricks.. but really you could just put layer of paint or lacquer). Resin vacuum hardening might work to depending on the size of the part (like how hardened wood is made).

Protip, when you put a thing into another thing and your intention is for that thing to be removable (all within the context in the video), just make a hole through the linear item, introduce a peg and then in the 3D print part, print it such that the area around the peg is solid. You can achieve this by having a separate group within the 3D print file. The slicer will interpret that area as solid. I do this for all screw holes. It's not full on solid, but it's not "empty" either. Best of both worlds. Given that this is a wing, i would make the area around the Tpart of the peg into a star, to radiate structure into the wing. That way the load's distributed in all directions, thus accounting for any potential force. Of course, if that's too much, you can always just do have a star. With this little trick, i've made wind mills that are almost 4 meters long in the blade and only a single layer of bi-directional glass weave over. They've been spinning for almost two and a half years now. You know what kinds of forces are involved in such a part, so the trick works really well. Oh and in closing, to make it clear how to disassemble this, the peg (that goes into the linear item) has a hole inside the wing. If you tilt the wing in one direction, it will fall off and allow you to remove the linear item. When in use, a single screw secures the peg in position through the linear item and the wing.

You probably really want to make the electronics expose all the settings and constants to you, so you can edit them on the fly, and try different configurations. That way you can tweak the PID controllers easier without having to plug in a computer each time. Particularly the elevation controller, dunno how you set target height right now, but it seemed to like being way too high. So could have made the integral (and maybe proportional) pitching stronger in the field. As for your desire to average out waves, I think you should make it be 3 sonars instead of 2, placed in a triangle pattern (so ie. one at the front, and 2 at the back. or vice versa). And not merely average them out, but also make them have a bias to the frontmost sonar with a bit of a memory (so when you ride into a tall wave, it notices it, keeps you high after it passed the first sonar, and only forgets it after it left the back ones or speed calculations suggests you passed it). Actually, with a sonar at the front, maybe a single one is enough? As you know that at any time the rest of the board has the height that was measured at the front sonar(t-T) at time-offset T (because you move forward). Or if you want to assume you can go slow enough that wave-propagation velocity matters, have the second sonar slightly behind the first one, and calculate relative velocity to the wave.

Wow. It's basically a robotic fish holding up a board on two sticks so that the water friction doesn't have to be so big. This is an awesome design! For buoyancy, you could try just printing with a different infill pattern, like a grid, so the whole thing isn't water permeable. Sure, you would have pockets of water, but on average it will have some trapped air and additional buoyancy, allowing to rely less on pushing of the water and reduce waves on low speeds.

If i recall currently, mixing carbon fiber and glass fiber is a little redundant. The idea is that the carbon is so much stiffer than the glass, that almost all the load is carried by the carbon. If/when the carbon breaks, the glass takes the whole load. This means that glass only, or carbon only perform about the same as mixing the two, but for less cost and weight. Glass is tougher, cheaper, and less stiff, so i'd be tempted to do all glass in the repair areas.
