New for 2020 is the full carbon, low profile FoilMount 3.0 Carbon.

This compressed carbon plate is not only beautiful it is also incredibly strong allowing it to be thinner than the original FoilMount.  This setup weighs just over 1lb so it is also about 30% lighter than previous models.  The new curved shape along with it's light weight and thinner profile make it incredibly low drag in the water.  You cannot tell there is a track mounted on the bottom of your board while using it without a hydrofoil.  We have also upgraded the included hardware.  Because this system is so thin we had to invent a new hardware set that would work with any base plate on the market call the Wizardhat Hardware.  Each FoilMount 3.0 Carbon includes a set of 4 Wizardhat hardware and they will allow you to attach any hydrofoil on the market to your FoilMount.  

Features:
-New Carbon Fiber bulletproof construction
-CNC milled tracks and edges
-Bubble channels in adhesive to decrease bubbles while installing
-Flexible edges and center-line to accommodate more board geometry.
-New more efficient shape
-Lighter design weighs 30% less than FoilMount 2.0

Includes:
-FoilMount 3.0 Carbon plate with adhesive back
-Installation and preparation materials (Alcohol wipes, scotch-brite pad)
-4 sets of Wizardhat hardware (25mm T-bolts)
-Extra set of 4 x 35mm T-bolts for thicker base plates

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. 

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 Complete 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
-2 qty 40mm T-bolts (not included in shims only)
-Cool Foilmount and Wizardhat decal

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.  The low profile t nuts can be used in some foils that use M6 t-nuts as they are the same low profile.  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.  Sold in pack of 10qty.

This is the dimensions of this part:

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, Naish and others  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. 

Here are the total dimensions of this part: 

Track width: 8.5mm
Total width: 14.9mm
Total length: 23.9mm
Total height: 6.20mm

This hardware set will work with any base plate or 4-bolt tracked board on the market.  This included M8 or M6 base plates and tracks.  There is no more need for T-nuts or different sized bolts the Wizardhat will work on any.  Also, the way the bolt sticks up through the track on top makes it easy to line up with the base plate.

The complete Wizardhat kit comes with a 15mm ratchet wrench, 4 qty Wizardhat hardware sets, a set of 4 qty 30mm extra t-bolts, and a decal.  Choose from the standard length set at 35mm or the short version at 25mm.  The short 25mm version is for very low profile tracks like the FoilMount Carbon 3.0 or some of the F-One Wing boards.  For more options you can buy any length T-bolt you want from 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, and 40mm separately.

Be careful not to over- tightening with the wrench as you will have a lot more leverage than the screwdrivers you have been using. 

 

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 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.   

The height of the adapter is about 3” so if your tuttle goes all the way in, your mast will be functionally around 3" longer than slotting the tuttle into the board.  The overall weight of the adapter is 1.4lbs. 

This adapter works on standard deep tuttle foils as well as gofoil tuttle hydrofoils.

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.  The low profile t nuts can be used in some foils that use M6 t-nuts as they are the same low profile.  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.  Sold each.

**This Product DOES NOT work on the Moses Windsurf Fuselage**

Use any size Slingshot mast with your Moses setup.  All Slingshot short masts 15", 24", 28", and full length 35.4" kite mast, will work with this system. 

The aluminum anodized shim attaches to the Slingshot mast with 2 titanium M8 bolts.  This system now interfaces directly with the shimmed Moses fuselage using two included M6 bolts.  It will work with all Moses fuselages including Pre-2017 kite fuselage, 2017/2018 kite fuselage, and 2017/2018 surf fuselage.  Each of these fuselages take a slightly different attachment bolt and all are included in this kit.  It is not compatible with the windsurf fuselage.

What is included:

1 qty anodized aluminum adapter 
2 qty titanium M8 socket head bolts
2 qty stainless steel flat head bolts for pre 2017 Moses kite fuselage
2 qty stainless steel socket head bolts for 2017/2018 Moses Kite fuselage 
2 qty stainless steel socket head bolts for 2017/2018 Moses Surf fuselage

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 the Wizardhat hardware only set.  If you just need some extra hardware

This hardware set will work with any base plate or 4-bolt tracked board on the market.  This included M8 or M6 base plates and tracks.  There is no more need for T-nuts or different sized bolts the Wizardhat will work on any.  Also, the way the bolt sticks up through the track on top makes it easy to line up with the base plate.

The Wizardhat hardware only set comes with 4 qty Wizardhat hardware (includes cone nut, t-bolt, and t-slider with a decal.

Very simple leash system for those of you who have a hard time trusting the FoilMount system.  To install loop the lasso end around the top of your hydrofoil near the base plate.  Next, tie the other end of the leash to the surf board leash attachment, foot strap, or other connection area.  Finally, once tied and cut excess leash line to prevent it from getting in the way.  Make sure to keep enough slack in the line to looses the lasso end to remove the foil each time you put it on the board.  Use the leash for the first few months or until you feel confident about your installation.
