The present invention discloses a pair of devices that allows a user to attach a watersports hydrofoil to a watersports board. The devices feature a retention pin on one end and a locking mechanism on the other. The devices screw onto the mating surface of hydrofoil mounting plate parallel to each other and in the orientation where the locking mechanism is in the front. Once attached to the hydrofoil the devices allow for the hydrofoil to be mounted to the board in any location along the length of the two parallel tracks in the bottom surface of the board, permitted the devices fit, without the use of tools. The devices also allow for the hydrofoil to be dismounted from the board without the use of tools. The devices allow the hydrofoil to fold backwards, towards the tail of the board, if the hydrofoil hits an object with enough force, in order to minimize damage to the hydrofoil and the object being hit.
