Not much available so far but looks like a boutique, Hood River brand. Nice fuse / mast / front wing connection.

I think Brodie was the Cabrinha foil designer for the H series - that was a really nice, smooth foil. If he is bringing that background and knowledge over to Hydrocraft, these should be interesting-

and Sean Ordonez, been at cutting edge of Maui big wave and windsport design for decades, incl the Flying Cat downwind boards. Quite the team

Looking at the mast fuselage joint, what worries me is wear, and how it is taken up. Armstrong had this problem in early days and added a heap more screws to try and prevent movement of the front wing due to wear. I do wonder how Hydrocraft will overcome it with no screw tension actually tightening the joint.

Cabrinha had the same with the H series foil. When be came out they added a side screw. Now that (same designer) evolves to 3 screws and a clamp.

You would think that by now, after 5 years or so, fuse to mast designs would be settling down and converge

It looks like it is just securing, but no really force on it besides locking.
