The HUGE (3000cm^2) hydrofoil wing is finished

[@WakeThief]

Well done. Lovely looking wing. Thanks for sharing all that you do. Super informative.

[@somtingwongwai7194]

if you use peelply you don't need to worry about contamination at all, it's more you ammine blush layer that cause a headache on the final coat. Also, you have the option revert back solar polyester and wax (AKA hot coat) for the final coat, hence shave 2 days off your waiting time.

[@mcfcmandem]

Hey there! I was wondering if you have any videos of this wing in action, would love to see some sample footage as it's hard to decide which one to buy as a beginner! Would really appreciate it if you can share a video of how well it works. Private link is fine too! Thanks again!

[@scottseale]

Nice one! Thanks for the tip on trailing edge reinforcement using tow strands from your fabric.

[@Stefan-Foil]

Thanks for your video! For winging i tried a 2400 Starboard foil. For my weight 85kg and skill level it was way too big and really slow. I could also feel the mast flexing. Now I use maximum 1600cm2.

[@josephjedynak508]

At 8:54 you mention keeping skin oil off your composite lamination surfaces...which is definitely important...but if your epoxy is beading up on a recently cured surface it is most likely due to amine blush, a by product of the curing process that rises to the epoxy surface and results in a small spot or even the entire surface where you will NOT get a proper bond and the epoxy will bead up like you describe. You have to wash with lots of warm and slightly soapy water to get rid of the amine blush.

[@patrickdyer1224]

Lots of great videos, would like to see you testing them in the videos. Really great builds tho

[@sarahmacneil3519]

did you try out this wing ? how did it go? great videos !

[@spacesticklab]

looking good....super curious about 3000 plus foils for winging

[@yiucycle]

Any update on the ride review on the 2300 and 3000 wings? thanks

[@georgewarner4960]

how many layers of glass do you use to make the top of the fuse pocket? is that all 4 ounce glass before the outer carbon layer?

[@iamkian]

We ordered the 2300 Kit (Aluminum) from you last week and want to use it in a DIY efoil. Does the aluminium mast have room to run 3 wires through it?

[@27astuce]

Very nice! I wonder if my 95cm carbon mast would resist surch a load, any idea?

[@-MOTOM-]

Where is the test ? 😍

[@clearwaterhydrofoils4313]

I was too eager and basically took its first test in the dark... I'll need a few days to get better footage.

[@broutdoors8248]

Hey, I just ordered the 1500 size foil kit and i was wondering how long it will take to ship?

[@tomcornic9627]

Hey I realy want to order this 1500 foil kit , did u use it etc ?

[@ПрометейПоджигателев]

Test to the studio.

[@DS-go8mn]

Looks like all the comments are from a year ago ... have you guys tested it yet? were you happy with it or disappointed? or?

[@trexinvert]

Nice job fabricating. Time to get wet. When surfing to avoid possibly cutting your feet when you jump/fall off the board. I'd recommend a "wide" board, so it keeps the surfers feet "away" from the wing.

[@hervefougeroux7141]

Hello, Any news about.? So curious about this project... Thanks

[@maxlui007]

Hi! Did you already test the 3000 wing for pumping? I weight about 100 kg and I´m really interested in such a big wing for easier dock starting!

[@clearwaterhydrofoils4313]

Yes, the 3000 wing is great for pumping. I am not sure what content has been uploaded. However the 3000 is now available on the store, in a ready to go version and in a carbon kit version.

[@fabianrudzewski9027]

With the carbon over glass you kind of make the glass useless. Carbon has about 3.5 times higher stiffness, so the carbon carries almost all the load until it breaks and the developed crack weakens the glass.

"I simply skinned the glassed wing. One carbon layer per side simply for the looks!" - quote from clearwater ... cheerss

[@fabianrudzewski9027]

@@adrianuskristianto5 and the effect of that is, that the glass just sits and adds weight. It's like reinforcing a rubber band with a steel wire. The rubber (glass fiber) won't do anything until the steel wire (carbon) is broken.

[@clearwaterhydrofoils4313]

@@fabianrudzewski9027 I would have to disagree with this. For the loads and forces the wing is facing, the outer carbon skin does not matter much. If this was a high end part in extreme conditions, then yes mixing carbon and glass would not be ideal. Having personally done many parts like this... I have never had a problem. Using the same logic you could argue the carbon skin is reinforcing something that is already very stiff. I would rather reinforce a solid wood core with carbon than a foam core with carbon... the wood core will be stronger.

[@nickolaydobrev714]

@@clearwaterhydrofoils4313 I'd disagree with you considering that you laid the carbon cloth with weft or warp (doesn't mater) tip to tip direction. If you had rotated it 45° then the glass would be bearing the flex load. Correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers

[@nickolaydobrev714]

@@fabianrudzewski9027 the glass isn't just adding weight. With a ESP core and without the glass that wing will be extremely succeptible to dents

[@tdscuriosity]

Would you be willing to ship out a complete 3k setup? I'd like to see that on your website

[@RiMartinsRi]

Nice job and nice vid. What is the core made of? Is it wood (what type)? Or is it polyurethane foam?

[@clearwaterhydrofoils4313]

The core is EPS foam. This particular core will be available on my website next week.

[@maciejszynkarczuk2425]

where is the test?

[@CatalanLaser]

COOL !!!! How many layers of carbon do we need in this case ? THANKS !!!

[@clearwaterhydrofoils4313]

I simply skinned the glassed wing. One carbon layer per side simply for the looks!

[@willembrussow309]

Getting soo antsy for the test video!

[@willembrussow309]

I think he posted it his Instagram. It was just a short video, though it would be great to hear the comparison between that and the size below

[@gaboariel5540]

Hello, any news???

[@afozzie40]

At some point the largest wing will have too much drag to be efficient for your weight. Do you think 3000 is close or over that limit?

[@spacesticklab]

That was my question too...

[@WakeThief]

It's a beautiful wing. I'm curious as well. At 2400 sqcm (Infinity 99 from Slingshot) I really started to feel the drag. That wing is ~4 aspect ratio. When I switched to lower area high aspect wing (AXIS 1150), I found the drag drop, glide go up and the low speed stall speed went lower. The details are here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmaof3Zsm7SjeaM

[@hezmety2871]

Pls come back and if you are is there gonna be a big project just found this channel already subbed pls come back

[@travelandtech2185]

I would like to order a foil set. I sent you 2 emails regarding shipping 🤔. Waiting your speedy reply. 😊 🙏

[@onurkitesurfer215]

nice
