8 months on a Naish Large. The 2017 version. I bought it in May 2018 though. Don't really have money to go switching brands to a whole new foil though. Ugh. At least I have real boards to ride for awhile.

Bent Fuselage

That sucks mate.
That’s a common injury for ‘17 Naish fuse. They have pretty much disappeared from the water here due to breakage, weight and lack of xxl wing. Everyone moves on to Gofoil or Axis.
Can you bend it back without breaking it? That’s where I’d start. Otherwise they might be going cheap somewhere....the wings were being liquidated when the ‘18 models were released

I don’t know yet. Foil the world on Instagram told me to write ericfoil who might have a solution. I wanted to see if naish said anything. So far no.
I bent the fuselage back straight. Now to decide if I should foil first tomorrow early or go try and find waves even though the tide is so high.
haha where did you end up steamroller? Probably a good choice to go look elsewhere. I had fun but it was real small.
Foil still works. That is one thing going for Aluminum parts. You can just grab a hammer and bang them back straight.
Here's what the waves looked like. Pretty small. One guy paddled out on a longboard for 45 minutes and paddled back in without catching anything. This is my wave in. At the end of this ride I saw white water backwash coming towards me and was sort of freaking out trying to figure what to do next. Not sure I handled it to gracefully. Sunrise was amazing though. Plus, being the only guy out at 1st point makes me happy.

sheeeooooot...i unloaded my board and realized i left the bolts at hime in the garage...went scrambling around looking for hardware store before the tide dropped...nothing...ended up shooting video instead...
