Advanced Hydrofoil Apparatus

Abstract

Hydrofoils are a device that is used to decrease the resistance of a water traveling apparatus. It does this by creating lift on its wings which pushes the apparatus off the surface of the water, to reduce friction. My patent pertains to hydrofoils that are attached onto boards for various water sports. These board sports include, but aren't limited to, surfing, stand up paddling, kitesurfing, kiteboarding, wakeboarding, wake surfing, and windsurfing.

1 . A hydrofoil with a fuselage that is flexible from where the mast attaches, down to where it attaches to the tail. So that the fuselage can make a sinusoidal like motion through the water to generate speed. 
     
     
         2 . Downward sloping fuselage or tail on hydrofoil. 
     
     
         3 . A hydrofoil with a flexible back wing; where said wing's flexibility is along the general axis of the forward moving path of the hydrofoil, (which is parallel with the fuselage) or a flexible part trailing the tail wing with the same general axis of flexibility. 
     
     
         4 . A hydrofoil meant for board sports that has both the front and back wing create lift. 
     
     
         5 . A hydrofoil fuselage where the top ( 101   a ) or bottom ( 101   b ) portions of the fuselage are in a pointed shape, or in a rounded shape where the surface area between  101   a  and  101   b  has a lesser curve. 
     
     
         6 . A clamp system that secures the hydrofoil to the board. 
     
     
         7 . A hydrofoil meant for board sports that has more than one mast.
