HYDRODYNAMIC EFFECT DEVICE FOR AN INFLATABLE HYDROFOIL WATER SPORTS DEVICE
Disclosed is a hydrodynamic effect device (100) for a flotation body (10) of an inflatable water sports device (1). The hydrodynamic effect device (100) comprises an attachment portion (102) for attaching the hydrodynamic effect device (100) on the rear end (18) of the flotation body (10), for example on the bottom (12) of the flotation body (10). The hydrodynamic effect device (100) comprises at least one separating edge portion (104) which is movable relative to the attachment portion (102) and which, when the flotation body (10) is moved on the water surface, is in contact with water in order to effect an improved and flexible flow separation at least on the rear end (18) of the flotation body (10).
