Product Overview & Benefits
Hyrofoil Wingscrews
Stoked On Foiling is proud to be working Hydrofoil Wingscrews, helping fellow foilers get these high-quality, reliable screws or tools that enhances their experience on the water. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the sport, these wingscrews offer a blend of performance and ease of use that can maximise and improve your hydrofoiling sessions.
Selection Guide
Choosing the right wingscrew is simple—most hydrofoils use either M6 (6mm) or M8 (8mm) screws, with Armstrong's Performance series featuring M7 screws.
Customers should measure their current screws before ordering to ensure compatibility, selecting from flat head (countersunk) or button head options depending on their gear. For sloped base masts, tapered style wingscrews are recommended. Unsure buyers are encouraged to contact customer support for guidance.
Functionality and Use
Wingscrews are particularly advantageous as they do not require additional tools for adjustments. They have been designed wider than standard hardware counterparts, providing sufficient leverage for tightening by hand. It's advised against using tools to tighten these screws to prevent damage.
Alignment and Performance
While wingscrews may not always align perfectly with the centerline of the mast due to their random positioning when tightened, there has been no reported increase in drag significant enough to impact performance.
Maintenance
To preserve their longevity, especially in salty environments, it's best to rinse the wingscrews with fresh water after each use. While aluminum may tarnish over time, this does not affect the function or strength of the product.
