This Foil Drive Assist MAX Sport Kit is insane! I've been using this for surf foiling and its been incredible. It took me three sessions to really get comfortable and figure out the technique with this. Even if you are a really good foiler, adding the FoilDrive into the mix definitely adds a new element and set of skills to figure out. The transition to up on foil and when to give it more or less throttle takes practice.
I've been using this with an Appletree Pro Foil V2 board (carbon fiber), Armstrong 795 performance mast and mostly with the HA880, HA980, and HA1080 wings. I've used the 20cm cable motor. With the Max Power battery I can get a full hour session being somewhat mindful of battery usage. With the Max Sport its probably 30-40 min max.
The whole kit definitely adds some noticeable weight to your foil setup obviously. It takes a bit to learn how to ride it, and especially pump, with the added weight. Using the Sport battery makes pumping much easier, but with the cost of shorter run time.
Now that I've dialed in how to use this and wing sizing/mast position, I am going out for a session on days where I would normally catch MAYBE one or two waves, really bad conditions, and doing laps wave after wave for an hour straight. Its great going out and getting a ton of time on foil, and a ton of time actively on a wave. I found that its a great form of foil training. I have so much more time on foil that I can practice better technique while wave riding.
