Can we get an update on how you're making out?

Searching around for foil info, came across this legendary DIY post. Time for a bump. What is the update on this -- still riding it?

For those looking to put together a "cheap" foil with spare parts, TKF still sells the factory 2nd masts, now for $55

but then you add $50 for cut to length, plus $20 for threads, plus $65-200 for mast head, plus connectors and hardware, plus really high shipping....may as well buy a complete foil! I think that's may be the idea.

Slingshot seems to have a pretty good deal on parts going....
www.slingshotsports.com/Foil
works out to $220 US for mast, fuselage, mast connector. (All US$ of course, so painful for aussies and canadians alike....$44 for 6 screws?)

If you get this structure, just need to find wings....seems to be no economy wings in the world....so there's a DIY project focus. With more companies making beginner or intermediate foils now, should be more used stuff at the bottom end coming available. Plus, seems only a matter of time before someone in China catches on that these small, light, and relatively simple parts are selling for pretty high prices....and then off she goes.

I have some old 2011 Cabrinha Quad Race fins which look like they could make good rear wings...?

(edit: ignore that price sticker)

Maybe I should make myself a dildo foil.

Sure you want to go down that road?
