The FoilMount is a universal hydrofoil mounting system, this means that you can put a hydrofoil track on just about any board you already have.  

The FoilMount uses a specially designed 3M adhesive tape to stick to the bottom of your board.  It will accommodate any foil that uses the 90mm track system (this is industry standard).  It is a easy way to fix a broken track system.  It is also great for retrofitting boards with through bolt holes to give them the adjust-ability of a sliding track system.  The FoilMount can be removed but cannot be reused.  It is very easy to install, just prep the surface with alcohol, peel the tape backing, and stick!  Make sure you install the FoilMount on a flat surface on the board (no rocker, double or single concave).

Standard FoilMount
The standard mount is a flat plate that can be installed on any flat board surface.  It is suitable for most SUP boards, hydrofoil boards, Skim boards, Surfboards.  If you surface has some curve to it try the Ridge Mount system.  If you're trying to outfit a board with a tuttle box system or a windsurfing rig try the Hole Mount system.  If you have mounting questions you can reach us by emailing sales@foilmount.com

The 2.0 Standard now includes:
-Upgraded FoilMount plate with one piece adhesive backing
-4 high strength brass slider nuts
-1 set of 4 flat head M8x16mm bolts for Slingshot and most other foils
-1 set of 4 flat head M6x12mm bolts for Takuma Surf hydrofoils
-1 set of 4 pan head M8x20mm bolts for Moses and older Liquid Force foils 
(instructions, alcohol pads, scotch-brite pad, FoilMount box)

Advice for mounting FoilMounts from customer questions:

Answer for "Scott":
That Liquid Force Wake Surf board has a PU (poly urethane) coating which will make a medium strength bond with the VHB adhesive tape in the FoilMount, I’d recommend using the 3M 94 primer before mounting.  As far as position, make sure that the mounting area is absolutely flat number one.  If you have a ridge down the middle of the board and are using the ridge mount, make sure both sides of the ridge are flat (no concave or big enough for flat mounting with ridge).  The best way to do this is to "dryfit" a FoilMount in the mounting location and make sure it fits tight to the board.  In terms of position I’ve found that you want your rear foot either directly over the mount or slightly to the rear of the mount so your thinking was on track.  You can get the 3M 94 primer pretty much anywhere adhesives or paint is sold…we also have it on our website.  Hope that helps!

Answer for "Christian": 
The mounting position will need to be flat (no concave, double concave, or tail rocker).  If it is a large enough concave the center of it may be flat enough to mount.  You can check it by taking a FoilMount (dry fit with the adhesive backing still on) or a piece of wood and use it as a straight edge to see if there is any curve side to side or front to back in the mounting location. For mounting the FoilMount for surfing you will want your rear foot to be directly over the foil in the surfing stance.  This is usually farther forward then your stance when in the pocket.  I’ve had good luck mounting directly under the front edge of the rear foot pad.  Hope that helps.  The dimensions that need to be flat is 9.5” side to side (4.75” from center) and 13.5” front to back. 

Ridge Mount FoilMount
This is the standard mount with a relief cut down the middle allowing for a mount on top of a ridge on the bottom of the board. The surface still needs to fairly flat, but allows for a slight ridge where the FoilMount will be installed.  It is suitable for most SUP boards, hydrofoil boards, Skim boards, Surfboards. If you have any questions about mounting compatibility email us at sales@foilmount.com. 

The 2.0 Standard now includes:
-Upgraded FoilMount plate with one piece adhesive backing
-4 high strength brass or stainless steel slider nuts
-1 set of 4 flat head M8x16mm bolts for Slingshot, Liquid Force, Cabrinha, and most other hydrofoils.
-1 set of 4 flat head M6x12mm bolts for Takuma Surf hydrofoils
-1 set of 4 pan head M8x20mm bolts for Moses and older Liquid Force foils

Extra brass T-nuts for your tracked hydrofoil.  These are salt water approved and perfect for all Liquid Force, Lift, Slingshot, etc track systems.  They are M8 standard metric threads which is the convention for most hydrofoil tracks.  These are sold per each. 

If you have a bulk order contact us at sales@foilmount.com

These are extra stainless steel M8 bolts for your hydrofoil setup.

These are all countersunk flat head Stainless Metric Bolts in various sizes.  We can tell you what size you need for most foil setups.  The best way to do it is to measure the bolts you need from the ones that are already on your foil. Use the graphic below. 

These are low profile replacement M8 Stainless Steel T-nuts for the any hydrofoil that uses the M8 T-nut, which just about all Tracked hydrofoils.  These are low profile meaning they are thinner than stock brass T-nuts by about 2.2mm from top to bottom but STRONGER.  See the video below for some of the testing including breaking T-nuts in slow motion. 

These are also available in M6 on a separate product listing. 

These are Replacement M6 Stainless Steel T-nuts for the any hydrofoil that uses the M6 T-nut including Takuma and Naish.  These are hard to get replacements that we now have in stock.  They are sold each so if you need a set of 4 make sure to buy 4 of them.  Watch the video below for our testing of the M8 version against the brass version. 

When in doubt use the primer, it is magical in terms of making things stick really well!  It is also easy to use. 

How to:
To apply, make sure the surface is fully prepped and dry using the instructions included with the mount.  To use the primer, just push the dot on the side of the stick to start the flow of primer to the application brush tip.  Apply it to the surface in a thin even coat.  Make sure you allow it to dry before installing the FoilMount which is usually 5 minutes at room temperature. 

More Specific Information:
In the back of the FoilMount installation guide; and below, there is a list of the materials the FoilMount will stick the best to and a list of other poor/fair adhesion materials.  You can use the primer to improve the adhesion of these poor/fair adhesion materials so you can still use the FoilMount.  Polyethylene and polypropylene are a few of these materials and can be common on wakeboard and kiteboard bottom surfaces.  If you're using a FoilMount with a board that has a bottom made from a material on the fair adhesion list make sure to use this 3M primer to prepare the surface prior to sticking down the FoilMount. 

This adhesion promoter can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is developed to be used in conjunction with 3M VHB tapes to increase the bonding strength of the tape. It is a popular tool to assist in applying automotive vinyl wraps. It increases the bond between vinyl wraps and nearly anything where a strong, durable bond is required. This product can be used to promote adhesion of 3M tapes to surfaces such polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS, PET/PBT blends, concrete, wood, glass, metal and painted metal surfaces.

List of Materials and Bond Strength:

*Using 3M 94 Tape Primer with these materials should improve bond strength to be acceptable

This is the easiest way to completely remove a FoilMount from a board or other surface without damage to the mounted surface.  It is a fairly quick and easy procedure consisting of two steps.  

Removal Procedure:
Step 1: Use the included water chisel with you garden hose to cut through the foam adhesive between the FoilMount and the board or mounted surface.  Make sure to apply some pressure on a mounted mast to help wedge the FoilMount up while you're chiseling.  

Step 2: Use the included rotary eraser with a corded or cordless drill to get all residual adhesive remaining on the surface.  The cordless drill adapter is included. 

Below are the two instructional videos for this process.

Hoverglide Hydrofoil Mast Base Plate. This is an extra base plate for your hoverglide hydrofoil. If you get the flight school you will want one of these to make it easier to switch between your full length mast and your other length masts for shallow water or to teach your friends to foil.

You will need to buy a base plate to go with the flight school system if you're getting either the Lift or Liquid Force Interface Plates.

This is a dual purpose adapter plate that will accommodate both the GoFoil Symmetrical deep tuttle and the standard Deep tuttle.  The adapter includes "drop-in" fastening slots for easy in and out while working on any standard 90mm track system including the FoilMount.  The two tuttle retaining holes are slotted and are large enough to fit M6 (GoFoil) or 1/4" (standard tuttle) bolts which will work on most systems. 

This setup includes 1 adapter plate, 2 qty M6x50 Gofoil retaining bolts, 4 qty standard track mounting bolts, 4 qty M8x16mm FoilMount track mounting bolts, and 4 qty brass M8 T-nuts.

This Annodized Aluminum interface plate will allow you to use any of the Slingshot Flight School Masts with ANY standard Liquid Force Hydrofoil (Rocket Foil, Foil Fish, Happy Foil).  It interfaces the bolt holes of the Liquid Force fuselage with the bolt holes on the Slingshot Masts.  

You will need to buy or have the Slingshot Masts and an extra Slingshot base plate (your LF base plate will not work with Slingshot Masts).

Package includes the interface plate, 4qty M8x45mm bolts. 

The TrimShim stack-able hydrofoil shim system comprises of a set of specially made abs shims that lock-in to one another creating a stack-able shim.  Each shim in the kit is at a 1 degree slant and there are 3 shims in this kit for up to 3 degrees of adjustment.  The kit also includes 4 sets of wizardhat hardware with its patent pending articulating pivot allowing for full contact with the board track even at up to 5 degree tilt.  It is only recommended to use the Wizardhat hardware with the TrimShim system. 

Why you would want to shim your base plate?
The angle between your board and your fuselage is fixed due to the mounting or installation of the track in the board.  There are different angles necessary for different foiling sports specifically for prone/SUP surf foiling, static foil pumping, and kite foiling.  If you're trying to use a kitefoil board for prone surfing it maybe helpful to change this angle to more easily catch the wave.  Also, changing the angle between the board and fuselage will help immensely while static pumping off a dock or out at sea.  You guys asked for it and FoilMount built it!

What is in the kit:
-3 sets of TrimShim shims each at 1 degree
-4 sets of WizardHat hardware which will work on any board with a track and any base plate on the market
-15mm ratchet wrench
-Cool Foilmount and Wizardhat decal

2019 Slingshot Hover Glide FSurf

The Hover Glide FSurf Foil is designed to deliver surfers an advanced wave riding experience. This is accomplished with an early takeoff and gliding speed designed to match the speed of (small-to-medium) waves. This design eliminates the need for excessive pumping, and will show in your smooth foiling style. Once you get the basics you will learn this wing can generate speed in the turns and you’ll be carving glassy faces like they are going out of style! The aluminum design is affordable but more importantly, it increases stability and eliminates the “twitchy” behavior that full-carbon foils typically exhibit. With the FSurf Foil, you can ride rolling swell on the outside, catch whitewater on the inside, or when you’re ready, paddle into breaking waves like you would with a regular surf or SUP board.
