Re: Specific grease for Hydrofoil

Another vote for tefgel. Put mine together with it. It’s used extensively in marine environments. Every stainless bolt that goes into an aluminum mast on a sailboat should have it on there if you ever want to take it out again. It’s a bummer, I’m sure quite a few people figured out too late that gal...

Good news - any fin will work !!

Just go to your local shop or even ask around at your kitespot.
🙌🏼 Snagged a cabrinha 50mm set locally. The Shinn bites are kinda of a pain to locate easily. Padre folks have them but only in sets of 4, for $80. All good now.

Shinn bite fins, where to buy?

Lost one of the fins on my shinnster the other day. Can’t seem to locate a replacement easily in US. Anyone have any laying around or a vendor? Thanks!

Re: Diable line of Elf Joker7

Thanks for the info. I purchased a used J7 15m last year that was tuned very well, not that I would be able to tell the difference, but I haven’t had any issues you’ve described. But I’m not in the foiling game, just use it to rip around on a TT in lighter breeze. Is there a good diagram/tuning char...

Re: 8m2 of Elf Joker7 tuning and tips

What are the issues that the J7's develop overtime? What to look for down the line? I have a 15m, third hand. Was well tuned from the last owner, great.

Re: DIY Foil Kites

Very smart solution! From watching the "how to make a kite" video in the dumpster fire of a thread on the main page, the production bridals are stitched by hand feeding the machine, but like you said, proper machines and the kite makers run thousands of bridals.

What do you mean by "presser foots", just curious about your splicing setup. Awesome work!

Re: It's about my nipples....

Yea there's a couple of ways to add pressure. I used an electrical tape roll, just the right diameter and stacked some weight on top. Tip. If the valve has to be oriented in a certain direction, as in, if it is attached to the fabric flap as on the Best kites, before you peel it off, mark on the bla...
