  • Patent number: 11772752
    Abstract: A mast assembly for a hydrofoil watersports board system includes a mast, a fuselage adapter, and a watersports board mount. The mast has a fuselage end coupled with the fuselage adapter and a board end coupled with the watersports board mount. The mast includes a side profile having width dimensions in portions of the mast that are greater than at its fuselage end and its board end. The fuselage adapter couples to a fuselage of a lower assembly, which further includes a front wing and a tail wing. The watersports board mount couples to a watersports board. The mast includes internally integral stringers to improve structural integrity.

  • Patent number: 10358193
    Abstract: Hydrofoil assemblies that can be attached to a board used for watersports are disclosed herein. A hydrofoil assembly may include, for example, a mast a coupleable to a fuselage at a lower portion of the mast and coupleable to a board at an upper portion of the mast, and front and rear wings coupleable to the fuselage. A hydrofoil mast may include, for example, first and second composite sections bonded together to form a hollow load-bearing mast structure. Leading and trailing elements made of a material that is softer than the composite mast structure may be adhered to the mast structure to complete a hydrodynamic profile of the mast.
