About Us
INVADER HYDROFOIL KITS
During our quest to design and manufacture a rider friendly, non-intimidating hydrofoil, we discovered a vast number of like minded foil enthusiasts wanting to make their own foils. The challenge many face is a lack of design know how and time. Many people want a "model airplane" type kit version of a foil, but still keep the modular design to replace and interchange parts.
Our foils are designed for both Kite foiling and Surf foiling disciplines.
They are beginner friendly and specifically designed for easy and relatively quick progression, helping you to learn more advanced foiling techniques quickly.
The foils, with their unique and innovative design, provide the rider with high lift, medium speed and fantastic maneuverability. This is key to not out running swell in the ocean. They are far less intimidating for beginners, and you can can carve or turn incredibly easily.
The foils can also ride extremely slowly and in a fairly steep stall attitude, which adds forgiveness when making errors or learning new moves! The wing shape and design provides stability, does not slip in the turn and helps reduce unintentional ventilation out of the water.
Our aim is to provide an Afforable, Durable, Easy To Ride, Simple and Quick DIY Option for fellow watersports enthusiasts that wish to get involved with this amazing sport.

Invader Stripes
Invasion Stripes
Invasion stripes were alternating black and white bands painted on the fuselages and wings of Allied Aircraft during World War II. This reduced the chance that they would be attacked by friendly forces during, and after, the Normandy Landings. So the stripes were not added as ”anti-shark” or “racing” stripes, but in fact were the source of our hydrofoils’ brand name Invaderfoil.
