Hi Ben, Your project is something to be very proud of, great design, terrific execution, and a very wide range of skills and expertise required to pull it off. Thats from a 60yr old Industrial Designer and Engineer 👍
Wow, just Wow. I tell CAD folks often that drawing, isn't building it. (mfg engineer) Ben has fantastic, wide ranging skills of an entire Company. Well Done, Sir ! Cheers
Very good, but... where is video of real testing? :)

Absolutely impressive build! I will attempt something similar and was wondering what size of rotor you went with and where you sourced the gear box and how happy you are with your components?
hi again Ben! Do you have any updates, will you post some riding videos? I also started doing DIY interviews with the developers, please let me know where you are from and how to reach you?
Hi there, sorry still haven’t had a chance to make a riding video yet, I have been busy with a house build lately so haven’t had the time. I will definitely post one when I can. I am in New Zealand, I can send you my email address if you would like? Thanks :)
Hi Ben, absolutely gorgeous build. I'm gutted to see you haven't had chance to upload a riding video yet. Did you manage to pull together a parts list/ link to the models? I've built a couple ELongboards but I've never made a surf board or Foil board before
Hi Luke, I didn't have any trouble getting the epoxy to stick to the polystyrene. I used some Red devil onetime spackle filler to fill in any voids in the polystyrene and then gave it a sand and made sure it was as clean as possible before laying the fibre glass and epoxy. Cheers
Hey is there anyway u can link all the materials u used I am thinking of making one. Also can u link the CAD sites I have a printer so I need to print them. That would be great love ur vid btw. Plz respond to this comment if u linked it so I know when I can buy the materials.
Hi there, I bought it from AliExpress, thanks. NZ$ 721.95 10％ Off | 100％ PURE Carbon Hydrofoil Water Wings Foils Hydrofoil Thrust Surf Foil for SUP Surfboard a.aliexpress.com/_mNhyeqq
Thanks Zachary, I used an A1 Carbon Fibre Mast/Foil which I got off Ali Express. I Used a 480kv sss56104 motor with a 6:1 planetary gearbox, a 130 amp water cooled hobbywing esc and 4 x 6s 11amp hour batteries running in a 12s configuration (22 amb hour 12s). Cheers
Hi, I don't have much video yet sorry, I am planning on doing a riding video but haven't had the time lately. One of my Lipos has failed so I am also building a new Li ion 18650 pack for the E Foil. There are a couple of photos of it on the water in the link from the first test. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gRtezZojZv8ouOLLGDtcKCZrnHeaHYTY?usp=sharing
What is the name of the program he use for designing, and if there are anyone whom can recommend af simlar program free easy to use with professional outcome. Kind regards
i don't see a reason for the board itself to have any shaping at all, it could be just a box. looks good but all the effort should be in the wing instead
Thanks :) I have put a link to the board fusion 360 file. I used the sketches of the plan and profile and printed at full size to cut out the polystyrene. I then shaped the rails to give them the rounded profile that I wanted. Hope this helps. a360.co/3eyW8TV Cheers
@@bengolddesigns9343 thnx!!!!!!!!)) I want to finish the sketch so that I could send it directly to the CNC machine (milling cutter). the dimensions for the battery compartment fit completely? it remains only to understand how much to make the rounding on the sides :)
@@akaZarj No worries. I have updated the battery compartment from that model I sent I think. I ended up making the compartment to fit the access hatch. I used this hatch www.burnsco.co.nz/access-hatch-596-x-348mm-large It does get the occasional bit of water getting in, not too much but I have made sure all my batteries and electronics are in separate boxes. Hope this helps :)
Thanks very much. I got the battery box from RS Components. Here is the link to the one I bought: nz.rs-online.com/web/p/general-purpose-enclosures/7721101
Hi, thanks very much :) Sure, I use Esun carbon fibre nylon for the propulsion unit, Esun PLA+ for the Propellor and some of the hand control (black parts) and ICE PLA for the propellor duct and the hand control. Cheers
@@bengolddesigns9343 Thank you very much. I have already choosen a nylon filament. Another question: Can you recommend any wather protective spray or resin for 3d printet parts? Or generaly a spray that protects 3d parts from outdoor applications? :)
@@NicolaGrossenb876 No worries. I used a spray type resin called Nyalic, which I have found works really well. Epoxy resin is also really good but more work to put on. Here is a link to the website www.nyalic.co.nz/ :)

Hi mate. I use this EPS from Bunnings. I bought the densest one they had available. Bought to 80mm sheets and glued them together. www.bunnings.co.nz/expol-thermaslab-s-grade-2400x1200x-60mm-polystyrene_p0717381
Yavuz1773 I sanded the prints to get them as smooth as I could and then sprayed them with a polymer coating called Nyalic. You can buy it in a can. I’ve found it works really well with 3d prints. I tried my prototype on the water but haven’t had a chance with this one yet, hopefully very soon. I will make another video of riding
Hi, I originally had a 22ah of LiPo packs running at 12s which would give about 15 minutes of ride time. One of my LiPos has now failed so I am in the process of building a 12s 10p lithium ion pack which should give close to 25 minutes of ride time. Cheers
Wow very nice! Very professional!
A list of the components would be so nice :)

I'm realy impressed with your 3d modelling skills and overall attention to details. Amazing build!
Hey Great work!! Would you be open to sharing your Remote STL files? Would live to try and build 1 😀
Would be awesome, those e foils are 10,000 dollars and a ripoff. I bet he built it under $2000 just put a lot of man hours into it.
@@CSJiGSaW08 Hi, which electric motor did you use please ?
Wow, just Wow.

Thanks very much :)
Awesome work mate! Super impressive, would love to see it in the water!
Great build, be great to see it going on the water.
Good and hard work, congrats, the next efoil you can try to make a full carbon fiber surfboard, enjoy your beautiful toy!
Donde conseguir la caja para la batería?
Hola, compré la caja en rs-online.
@BenGoldDesigns Hi, where did u buy box on electronic? 2:22min?
Nice one Ben, keep riding, it's a good inspiration for DIY guys
Hi, very nice design process. Do you plan on sharing the design or is it for a commercial project?
Very neat build
Do you want to sell plans or STLs for this?
Very good, but... where is video of real testing? :)
Absolutely impressive build! I will attempt something similar and was wondering what size of rotor you went with and where you sourced the gear box and how happy you are with your components?
Very well done.
What gear reduction did you use?
great presentation
is it autonomous ? did you use Pixhawk navigation control?
Awesome video! Very Clever. Document any future products you work on too! You may make it to Mosgiel yet.
What kind of 3d printer did u used

What did you coat the polystyrene with? I have heard that Polystyrene and epoxy do not bond together very easily. Thanks!
Hi Luke, I didn't have any trouble getting the epoxy to stick to the polystyrene. I used some Red devil onetime spackle filler to fill in any voids in the polystyrene and then gave it a sand and made sure it was as clean as possible before laying the fibre glass and epoxy. Cheers

This is amazing. Very impressive.
Can you provide what pump are you using
nice but where is the video?
Very nice work! Where did you find that thin hatch for you electronic box? thanks
Pablo Quispe Hi there. I bought the hatch of www.burnsco.co.nz and the two electronics boxes off RS Components.
@@bengolddesigns9343 Thanks Ben
Thanks. Has the hatch leaked at all? Some complain theirs leaked.

ive got to build one whats motor and esc and battery setup are you running
how much would you charge to make me one ? TY. this is awesome
Hey Ben, really clean build! Which mast/foil did you use that had a hollow mast? Which motor/esc/battery did you use?
Thanks Zachary, I used an A1 Carbon Fibre Mast/Foil which I got off Ali Express. I Used a 480kv sss56104 motor with a 6:1 planetary gearbox, a 130 amp water cooled hobbywing esc and 4 x 6s 11amp hour batteries running in a 12s configuration (22 amb hour 12s). Cheers
Nice setup
Wow such a great build! Anywhere I could download the print files? I would love to convert my hydrofoil into a motorized board similar to yours
Why did you use motor with gear box instead of using direct drive motor?
It is very hard to get the needed torque from such a small motor
do you have source code for the arduino controller?
Can you share the plans
Dear Sir. How much for 01 unit?
Can i get you step data for the motor chassis and maybe some more informations about the parts? If its possible, I´ll also pay for them. Thank you
Ben, could you send me a link to the stl files I have same motor and trying to do a build similar to yours.
do you have a video of where you are on the water?
Hi, I don't have much video yet sorry, I am planning on doing a riding video but haven't had the time lately. One of my Lipos has failed so I am also building a new Li ion 18650 pack for the E Foil.

Eh wut would u charge to build me a board like this?
Where can I find such a sealed box for tapping equipment?
I saw a guy use a gun/ ammo box.
Can you share the files?
Amazing job, I would really like to make remote like you can oyu share files and arduino code mybe? Thank you
Good job 🤩Bro💯
Agreed!
Amazing congratulations
What is the power of the motor?
Where can I buy the battery box?
I would like to build one as well
ciprian ionut thanks :) I the motor is a sss56104 480kv motor. I bought the battery box off RS components
@@bengolddesigns9343 thank you very. much RS components .
Can I find it online?
Please post an update video
Wow nice build but i have 3 questions for you. What was the total Price, Can you make links to a build plan and how did you watherproof everything??
Is it fibreglass for the board?
Hi there, yes fibre glass with epoxy resin for the board
Buscando caja para la batería???
Hola, compré la caja en rs-online.
Where is test vid plz list parts also
What is the name of the program he use for designing, and if there are anyone whom can recommend af simlar program free easy to use with professional outcome. Kind regards
He used autodesk fusion 360, i think there is a free non commercial license available for it. Else it is just 45$ per month
i don't see a reason for the board itself to have any shaping at all, it could be just a box. looks good but all the effort should be in the wing instead

You are awesome!!!!!
So awesome, can I ask where you are in nz? I’m in welly nearly finished my build with very similar components, love your design!
Thanks mate. I’m in Balclutha. Do you think you will do a build video? Would love to see your build when it’s finished.
Yea I’d be keen to put one together, I’ll link here of I do

?
Everything is perfect besides having lipos. Please build your own 18650 battery pack. Lipos are so much more dangerous.
Were you buy the remote control? Thanks
