Fantastic job, but the point of a hydrofoil is to remove the hull from the water to lower the surface area in contact with the water, looking at the size of the wing under the surfboard you haven't really gained anything. Smaller thinner wings would lower drag, increasing the speed, meaning they work better.
Indeed, but our design criteria required the size of those wings, and here's why: The thrust provided by pedal power alone is relatively small, so the hydrofoils (wings) needed to have sufficient surface area to turn that small thrust force into a lift force equal to or greater than the vehicle and rider. The craft was designed for up to a 250 pound rider, so the size of the wings was necessary to achieve "flight." Smaller wings would produce less drag, but they simply wouldn't fly.

That seat is all you'd need- a frame with webbing.
The drive system is weak. A chain is not the way. Check out Natives 10:1 drive on their pedal Kayak, that would get you flying.
