Mahalo foil & vortex lovers
following bionic and physics rules to achieve totally new concept of hydrofoils!
Well known as round wing, closed wing, circular wing, ellipse wing, etc
(ask uncle google or search true academic circles!)

On drLojz lab table for years, time to show the new stage of R&D.
First touch on water, looks promising as we respect over know-how
with no surprise. Everything work as simulations shows!

With good mix of bionic design and understanding of principal physics,
connected with additive prototyping and help of carbon fibers
the new Owing2019 is here!

Owing will be with dr Lojz on the coming
TFW foiling week on Garda lake!
https://www.facebook.com/foilingweek
See you there with any needs, questions or suggestions.

Contact me on to meet there,
or drop a meesage to drlojz2(at)gmail.com

Key word, the future is bright without vortex :-)

stay tuned

or here TFW 2015

As the last year TFW is the best meet of the foiling boats from all around the world.
Good organization from Domenico, Luka and the rest of TFW team. For any R&D,
design or manufacturing people, it is priceless to be there. All the right power people are
coming together, have discussions, the forum run and it is much more to see on the water!
So do not miss this event in the future!



Amac was presented the new Waszp, the people foiler, so this is now official ;-)
Good work done Andrew!


The ahcustoms.ch kite hydrofoil was there, well accepted from foil community!


Well for this year we have with us the Old-timer as well. 10years of foiling or living museum
as we have jokes in foil community! The axeman7 moth sill on foils, well we broke the push road
on the main foil, so we was on the water only for two days. Oldy survive and crew also and
this is important!


White bear cat, Luc is assisting and help to crew!


Three type of today foiling boats,
Moth, Laser and FF, the kite foil is missing!


The SLO 4201 Luka Tomori doing well for the firt time on the event!


 Next year generation of foilers ;-)


Ota preparing the boat for the lake trials!


In all, Garda lake, TFW we are coming back for next year,
not for holidays, with new stuff, new ideas, new products!

The internet galaxy & hydrofoils

Mahalo readers,
Not I am lazy, but simply no time on the running projects to be really accurate here and write
daily/weekly the news on the blog! Some of people are simply better on CAD and in workshops
at R&D, some of them are writers and good on social media pages.

Lets make some update on kitefoils under R&D.
It is true the post on Kite forum push me to write here again
http://www.kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=879622#p879622

Where the community found from Christmas card the Owing kite foil. Really happy to see some
of the people have really sharp eye on new products.

For me not new foil, the Owing was presented at TFW on Garda lake last summer
http://drlojz.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-foiling-week-garda-lake-2014.html
Where all the big minds of foiling world come together, to present and interchange the work, ideas etc.

At the moment the molds for "classic hydrofoil" are ready in production, I will post here the finished product!
The kitefoil is developed  for the www.ahcustoms.ch from Swiss!

 Main Crossover AH-foil wing mold


 Body mold finished
 Vertical half of the mold
 The negative V tail


Here some early comp graphic from last year! The Owing is under development and before summer is in plane to hit the water ;-)




Lets move the product to be simply as possible!

touch and go

14 Years

What a coincidence,
when I agreed to test the new Hydrofoil board, I did not even have the idea that I will meet a 14 years old kite surf  board, which was produces by me in 2000, completely up to date for that time.
There is 14 years of development in the area of ​​kite products.
Newbie meets the oldie, nice feel and they looks great together ;-)

  
 

Some successful board test was made ​​later and here it is the photo documentation. Looks well an it is good to see the Hydrofoil driven by the young power! Yari do his job well and we are all waiting for the next stage of R & D! Test was made in cooperation with http://www.kitelife.si and http://keka.si/ driven by mr. Boris Stepanov! Thanks guys!

Wait and see this place for additional info on the new foils, the development is going to Switzerland
 and yes into the workshop are the CrossOver foils for http://www.ahcustoms.ch  ;-) 

dr.Lojz
