Abstract:
The present disclosure provides generally for a hydrofoil system that may allow a surfboard to glide above the water surface. According to the present disclosure, a rider may be able to manipulate a hydrofoil device attached to a surfboard with limited training and athletic ability. The present disclosure provides for a hydrofoil system that may allow riders to use a light leaning motion to adjust the angle of a front wing to create forward thrust to produce a flow for creating lift. In some aspects, the front wing may tilt to reduce downward drag force in a lifting phase while locking into place during a glide to provide a sustained lift of the paddleboard out of the water.

Claim (Index 10):
A hydrofoil device comprising:\n a surfboard; a front wing comprising:\n a concave upper surface, \n a concave lower surface, \n a front wing curved leading edge, \n a hinge point; \n a back wing comprising:\n an upper surface, \n a lower surface, \n a back wing curved leading edge; \n a fuselage comprising:\n an elongate body, wherein the front wing is connected by the hinge point to a forward portion of the elongate body and the back wing is connected to an aft portion of the elongate body, wherein the hinge point allows the front wing to pivot within a predefined range; and \n a strut connected to the elongate body and connectable to the surfboard, wherein the strut runs perpendicular to one or both the elongate body and the surfboard.
