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

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. 

Extra brass T-nuts for your tracked hydrofoil.  These are salt water approved and perfect for all 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

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

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.

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.

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

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 kit comes with a 15mm ratchet wrench, 4 qty Wizardhat hardware sets, and a decal.   

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

 

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. 

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 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.
