XTREME Foils, Inc was started in 2006 to
bring high end performance hydrofoil
products to ALL foilers. It all
started with a Front Wing project.
After riding a wingletless front wing -
I knew it was where I wanted to be.
The rest as they say, was history.
I taught myself 3-d modeling, worked
with CNC companies, and started
producing prototypes. The first
product available for the public is the
Mach II Front Wing. Hopefully it
is the beginning of many High End
products to come.
Timeline:
October 2005 - plans started being
developed for a carbon fiber board
November 2005 - first c/f board
completed
January
2006 - plans to develop a front wing
begin
Had to teach myself 3-d modeling,
CNC design, etc.

First Schwing produced
The first Schwing
turned out to be a great wing.
It taught us a great deal about how
everything works. The things
that were fixed on this prototype
were: Lift - had WAY too
little lift and therefore required a
shim in the front wing to fly;
Cavitation - wingtips had more
cavitation than we wanted;
Leading and trailing edge profiles -
needed to find out how we wanted the
wing to react in water.

Mach II Prototype
produced -
A GREAT deal of
computing went into this wing.
Water flo software was used to try
to reduce all the cavitation on the
wing. It was VERY effective,
and proved to be very valuable in
saving time and money in the R&D
process. Things that were
worked on with this prototype -
wingtips - too thin so they flexed.
Placement on the t-bar - plenty of
lift now. Other subtle things.

Mach II produced -
production model
The wing we are
selling today. It has been a
great learning process to end up
with the best riding wing out there.
It has very little cavitation, and
cleans up faster than any wing we've
seen yet. The added air is
incredible.
July, 2006 -
XTREME Foils
is created and wings are sold
Winter, 2006-2007 -
MUCHO developing and testing of
different products
Jan, 2007 - Xcalibur
T-bar is born!!!!! XTREME t-bar
totally redesigned
