MarkS This might be the most fun thing ever invented. Mix and match whatever board and foil combo you want and have it perform as well or better than an efoil. If you are a surfer and want to get into foiling, this is hands down the easiest way to make the transition. Have you ever been paddling out to the lineup while taking a set on the head and thought to yourself "I wish my surfboard had a motor"? Well here it is. Do you live in place with small waves? This makes those conditions super fun. Have you ever looked at a break at high tide and thought "Maybe I'll check it at low tide"? Why wait, high tide is epic on a foil drive. If I was going to get my my ideal foil drive it would do 1) Assist Max. I am 140 lbs and consistently get 1.5 hours of run time out of the max high power battery. If you weigh between 150lbs and 190lbs look at the Max +, if you weigh over 190lbs get the Fusion it still surfs just fine. 2) I would do the integrated mast, but if you already have a mast you like and don't want a dedicated foil drive mast then get the mini pod, its worth it over the standard universal pod. 3) The 15cm cable is pretty close to the integrated mast height. The 20cm also works great for surfing and will give you a little more room to ride around without making a "brrrrt" noise when you ride a little too high. 4) Get the 3 blade prop upgrade, its 100% worth it. 5) Last, I would get x2 batteries, that way you always have one charged.

Trey My favourite thing to do! The first unit I got was a dud but have had zero issues with the new unit after about 20 sessions. Real was also really good about getting the issue solved quickly!

Chad S. I have to admit at first I held off on giving the Foil Drive a chance..... ( you know the whole non motor stay pure talk ). Bah Humbug!! Let's just say I gave it a chance and I'm TOTALLY hooked! It really is a session saver. My wing foiling sessions have gotten way better due to the amount of time I get on the water with the Foil Drive. It's such a COOL feeling heading out to sea under power and picking the best wave of a set, turning around on a SWELL, cutting the power and then gliding all the way back in and turning around and doing it AGAIN!! Add friends to the session and it's even more magical! Foil Drive is a top notch product and Company!

Chris R. Want to be smiling from ear to ear, get a Foil Drive kit immediately. This set up will get you on the water in those days you didn't even think you could go. A Foil Drive really gives you access to waves that are not even breaking, and teaches you how to ride your foil in that energy. Before work, Foil Drive, lunch break, Foil Drive, after work Foil Drive. It is the biggest cheat code to more time on foil and hunting down swell that you would never catch paddling. The ability to move the unit between boards and foils is also a great advantage as you progress. The space is growing continually with boards and masts specifically made for Foil Drive. I really can't say enough about how fun it is. Only downside is you may want to buy an extra battery so you can go more. Don't hesitate, treat yourself today.
