Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling a hydrofoil board powered by a motor driven propeller. The motor is controlled by a hand controller configured with user selectable operating pre-sets including a first operating pre-set, wherein the board is accelerated to a first speed which is less than that required for the board to hydrofoil, and a second operating pre-set, wherein the board is accelerated to a second speed sufficient for the board to hydrofoil. Alternatively, the operating pre-sets may limit the motor power. A system for operating a hydrofoil board is also disclosed, which includes a propulsion control unit comprising a propulsion source, and a hand controller configured to receive a first user input and a second user input and to transmit the user inputs to the propulsion control unit.

Abstract: A hydrofoil system is disclosed, having a fuselage with a propeller mounted to one end of the fuselage and a wing extending laterally from the fuselage. The fuselage is configured for removable attachment to a mast, so that the mast when attached extends from the fuselage in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and also substantially orthogonal to the wing. A tail wing is connected to the fuselage by a tail strut, so that the tail wing is positioned beyond the end of the fuselage to which the propeller is attached. A motor is housed in the fuselage and has a cable connected thereto, the cable extending outside the fuselage, wherein a removable sealing system inhibits water ingress to the motor at the location where the cable is connected when the sealing system is installed in the fuselage.
