Im building my first efoil, just makes me think i will fit my motor on bottom of mast with the wire threaded into mast and up to board, if I progress to pumping in waves I will just turn mast upside down , rethread the wire to the new mast top, to have motor at top, can i patent this idea, as i think im a genius

Awesome video! There's not much info about FD integrated masts on UA-cam or the FD owner's group. This is a no nonsense & very informative review on how the PC integrated mast works with FD. I also viewed your full length DW video using the PC integrated mast with FD. I was surprised by your limited FD assist use in both videos. This nicely demonstrated FD's low-drag hydrodynamic properties in the efoil position, and how a FD rider could enjoy a long session using the FD integrated efoil mast for surf and downwind riding. Like you mentioned in the video review, some riding conditions are well suited for this set-up. Could I reach out through the FD owner's group forum & ask you couple FD specific integrated mast questions. As the FD Euro ambassador I didn't want to ask about specific integrated mast brand ?'s, which could imply you favour one brand over another of those offered by FD. Thank you!

Hi, if I am 73kg and looking to flat water pump and do and do some small wake, wake thieving and maybe a bit behind a boat (2-4th wave) would I be better on the 1310 or the 1150 if I have the 75m aluminum mast? I would prefer the longer distance pumping of the 1310, but worried the agility trade off my not be worth the volume at my weight?

This is such a terrific video Dom, thanks for posting! You always discuss the pros/cons on whatever you're reviewing, it's great. Along with all the discussion on the integrated mast, you also get into some good stuff about honing downwind technique towards end of the video. What I wondered, was whether or not Paul & staff at FD have built/tested a HM carbon mast with motor pod in efoil position? Those masts have even less drag b/c shorter cord, & probably would offset the lower motor pod drag even more so,

I just got the axis integrated mast with the pod in the efoil position. I love it for flat water and downwinding! I weigh 85-87 kg so I went with the PNG 1310. I was already used to the sudden bow up movement because I had a 5-4 lift efoil with a folding prop. I´m getting 40 minutes (8-9 km) with a battery because I usually do 2 km upwind/downwind. I´m sure I´ll get much more time and distance when I drive further upwind and just come downwind the whole way. I used to have a pod with the 20cm cord, and it was very inefficient, noisy, and difficult with choppy water. I would eventually like to get a smaller foil so any thoughts as to where to go from a PNG 1310 (HPS 1050? PNG 1150? PNG 1010)?

Hi where would you put a v1 battery box on the 5ft board? Thank you

I am waiting for an all contained foil drive pod. Aonething to just clamp to the mast and be done. Maybe with lighter and better batteries.

Thanks for your effort!

Hello, what kind of wood and which thickness do you use for your platform?

Thanks for the video! Which foil set up did you use for the flatwater action in the end?

I've been winging the skinny 40 stab. So perfect when I'm powered on the wing. I'm looking for more stability, or maybe ease of use, to pump and ride smaller swell. Any thoughts on going with the skinny 55 up the stability and maybe make it easier for me to ride and pump the foils?

At 68 years of age and 81 kgs I'm having a hard time deciding on which board to get for my foil drive riding! I'm thinking more between the 60 or 50 liter but I may be wrong! No winging but a lot of surfing and some downwinding. Any thoughts about would be appreciated a lot!!

Hey when motor 15-20sm from board prop catching air , and impossible to ride , in rough water , how you deal with this ? Thanks !

Hi @dominichoskyns9091! Will there be a noticeable difference in turning ability between Skinny 365 and Progressive 350? They are very close in span and area.

I had the short red (non advanced) and practiced dock starting for a month, I believe I had my dockstart dialled in but always dropped out after 10-20meters of pumping. No idea what I was doing wrong and I was getting kind of frustrated. Then I watched your video and ordered the short red ADVANCED. The first day out with the new fuse I was doing laps around the float!!!

I come from downwinding on a full weight efoil so this is sweet for me.

I would think that there is less wear and tear from having the pod in the water rather than slapping in and out of the water.

What's the advantage of the taller people on pumping to generate more speed compared to shorter guys? On pumping technique, will taller will benefit due to longer legs/limbs and leverage?

Very interesting and factual. Thanks a lot. What’s the Facebook Group you’re posting to?

Hi Dominic, I weigh around 68kg and was wondering if you would suggest the 1201 o 1401 for me in order to open up new opportunities (Downwinding, Distance/Dockpumping, Winging, Foildriving in flatwater), considering that I have the ART 1099 and PNG1130 in my Quiver? Also: Does the 19mm Alu Mast (up to 82cm) support the wingspan of either wing? 🙋🏻‍♂️

Would help to know what size fuselage and stabilizer you used

Can't wait til' the full review. You were having so much fun on that Spitfire!

Great video, you covered all the bases. Just curious, Ive been foil driving (Gen 1) with my SUP and wanted to transition to a prone board, what board model and size are you using in this video?

Has anyone attached a gen 1 fol drive system to this board?

Best explanation of why not try foil drive. I mostly wing but would love to ride the wave on calm days. Larry

They just want a great quiver. What do u think of a 100l Armstrong FG (cause that’s what I want for winging)?

The flash shark at 2:00 was hilarious 😅

Thanks for this video. You answered my question will I be able to learn basic foiling techniques with the drive in the e-foil position.

Can you share the foil drive you used in this video?

Nice,thanks

Looks like way to much hard work lol

So high on the mast🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hey Dominic, what is the thickness of the 50 litre ?

Hi Dominic great helpful content mate. Has this got the 2 or 3 prop setup in this ? 🙏🏻

Super helpful - thank you. Where were you positioning the drive trigger? I couldn’t tell from the video.

I'd like to see more discussion about the ability to pump different wings. It's really hard to know if the problem is skill or having the right equipment. Although I'm old (68), I'm a decent wakeboarder and have become very comfortable riding the foil. But the pumping escapes me. I can pump away from the boat for 10-15 secs and then nothing. About 1 1/2 ago I bought the Slingshot FPUMP package assuming that it would be ideal for pumping. The Quantum 100 is huge and sluggish. I didn't see it as being pumping foil. Fortunately, it enabled me to drop the rope and ride continuously, which was my immediate goal at the time. This is me on the foil. ua-cam.com/video/wUhyuTcTZzo/v-deo.htmlsi=rLHzXe5jWuW6nGQL

Thanks for the video. I am looking for a board to use for a long time. I am a 95 kilo beginner with a lot of surfing experience. My set up now. Foil drive Axis png 1310 49 liter 4.10 board ( old used … to small) Would you recommend 60 or 70 liter. I would like to use it for wing to.

When you say you use the 50l for pretty much all wing foiling conditions, is this with or without a FD? I'm the same weight as you and hesitating between 50 or 60l as an all-round wing and FD board. Currently using a 55l and 65l board to cover light and strong winds.

Hi Dominic! How do you guide the cable when putting the box forward or side under the chest? Thanks mate!

Dominic, please help me. PNG 1150 vs. a Spitfire 1100? Which one should I buy? My conditions are similar to that seen in your video or maybe even flatter.

Mr Hoskyns, what is ur setup there?

Hey Dom. . . great explanation about the 'accelerator' effects of eAssist. I'm curious. . . what size battery you using there? Do you know it's configuration? 10S3p?

Hey Dominic, it takes you quite a while for you to get the films out. I know you are working hard but you are in a class of your own. Can you post a video shoot of you on some big waves... that would be great to see as you make it look so simple.

Hey Dominic! I'm probably going to relocate in Saudi Arabia and I'm looking at the closest places to go foil surfing, Oman looks to be at the top of the list. Could you recommend some beaches that could be easy to get to them for a weekend visit? Ideally close to the main airport....

really great video, after a lot of research on the internet this is a really good explanation unlike other vague stuff. I have a go pro 9 and I mainly do windsurfing, tell me if it is possible to get good footage with the Sail video systems rod on the harness with that setup? Thank you!

What generation foil drive are you using in this video? Is it the oldest cheapest one? Or is it the assist version?

Which foil and stab you had on this ride?

Dominic As I use F.one foils would I need to shim the mast for it to work with the right angle? On my custom wing board I need to shim the mast however as this is not winging... Thanks

Nice Dom. Where are you these days?

They look great. Any idea on weights?
