Great video, thanks for that! Keep them coming! I have noticed we use about the same gear. I am a bit heavier (96kg) though, so I use 1 size bigger board 😉 I have the Tracer V3 foil set, with (Front Wing 1030, mast 85, FUSELAGES 31.5 and STABILIZER 200) And the Phazer V3 5'6"for a board. I am really happy with the whole combi, however I don't manage to follow up your advice: With my frontfoot placed in the footstrap, it is so much out of the center of the board (towards the wind-side), that I'm forced to place my backfoot over the centerline to compensate for that. The maximum I can manage is to be with the back of my heel touching the centerline. But in that stance it doesn't feel fine. It sort of "locks me up"... What am I missing here? Just thought that maybe it's because of the kind of narrow (at least for my feet) standard footstraps that force me in an awkward position? Any hints and/or tips?

Thanks for sharing your foil drive story and experience. I think there are a lot of us on the fence with foil drive. I have been windsurfing since the early 80s switched to kiting in 2003, that increased my time on water drastically. I finally picked up wing foiling while in hood river for 3 weeks last fall, 2023, followed up with 3 weeks in the outer banks NC. Im going back to the outer banks this week for 3 weeks but i have elbow tendinitis from kiting and winging. I want to get on the water as much as possible so im considering picking up a foil drive at real in obx. But over 5K, that’s massive. Im turning 60 in a month and I dont know how many more years i will have enjoying water sports which has dominated my life for over 40 years. So will I get a foil drive to accellerate my foil progression, increase my days on water, and take it easy on my elbow, im still not sure but your video was very helpful. Thanks. Larry

As someone who has kite foiled and wakefoiled with a pocket board (skipped the winging thing) wondering what size/volume board you started on and continue to use. Also what size front wing have you been using (sq cm2)? Thanks. Awesome video

so much craic you guys next year I ll joni u

I think if you look at the alternatives of learning foiling this is a no brainer. Boat assisted lessons get expensive very quickly and you have to work around someone elses schedule. Buying a jetski is going to be expensive and you need someone else to pull you. Paddling for hundreds of hours into surf can take forever and many just quit. If you live in an area where wind is seasonal this is an incredible option to be able to get daily time on the water. thanks for putting together this review! I was just getting up and foiling on my wing and our season has now ended, so I was considering light wind wings and possibly a sup setup just for practice. I may forego all of that and just get one of these.

Awesome clips 👍. So I’d love to try a Max battery inset hack on an existing Slingshot prone foil board that I don’t really use right now. Just trying to get a handle on easiest/strongest way to pot either bolts or threaded inserts into the board with that 10 mm of thickness I’ve heard you talk about. Maybe you could describe the steps you take. Many thanks!!

sick conditions !

That B roll 🙂

Amazing work!!! In theory the big breakthrough would be when you create a board with the foildrive located in front of the mast above the front foil so it'll be 100 percent balanced around the center of lift which is the pivot point for turning and pumping. what's your take on this?

Inspirational.....don't suppose you'd like to make a video of your friends homegrown assist? Hmmm? :)

So you used like 8 bats?

Holy shit! 8 hours! 100km! 53km/hr! Those are some impressive stats. You must have legs of steel.

Very cool!

Looks flipping amazing guys, got me definitely thinking 🤔

❤ exelent my friend

Wing foiling is my first water sport. Didn't make it easy on myself!! Working hard to push past the frustration and physical effort to STAY on foil. So far I'm a pro-faller.

I just had a super fun FoilDrive session on the plasma 880 with the 160 mono tail. 🤩

Where can I order a cavitation plate here in the US? Thanks

Great innovation, look forward to a production board 😉 Question. All your vids appear to be in pretty buttery conditions.. how does a short board to motor length handle in bumpy / choppy conditions ? I’m considering to motor up wind and then ride the bumps home. Thinking I’m going to be very “active” on the board ?

Love the innovation and explanation but why would you not use a shorter cable, say 15cm or shorter, to get even more usable mast?

Brilliant! Well done guys

Brilliant video, the best I've come across. Thank you very much for this concise info 🙂

You can use a much smaller board if you put some volume on it. Like 4.0x17 flat rocker with some scoop on the nose

Would a Bridge bolt (like a square U shaped) help on eather board? You could weld the screws to a plate and it could be placed on the top of the board (with a thin insert)

Great video dude, amazing to see how the board designs are evolving. Loving my gen 1 board!!! 😊

What is the flat piece above the motor pod?

Looking good 👍

Delivered some nuggets , like a true pro 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Im addicted to lithium myself. Emtb, EfoilAssist. Powered by my rooftop solar.

Nice one!

I love your explanation and how it is simple and well put. This already pointed me in the right direction. I will keep trying and apply what I learned from this video and what I know that work. I’m an old windsurfer with lost of old habits 😅 Thank you !

First comment whoop whoop George man "more battery power what everyone needs " love it . Awesome, Mike Great edit "so much stoke up for grabs" serve me a large portion please 🙏

Thx great tips

Holy moly IT WORKS🎉🎉🎉. Thank you thank you best tip ever 🙏🙏🙏

The intellectual difference between this man and most other surf-channels, which only seem to use words like "dude", "stoked" and "awesome" is simply astounding. Thank you for this beautifully narrated video.

These do look rather good. 16psi is nuts!

Awesome explanation of basic fundaments of winging, very useful. Thanks a lot!!

awesome video

Great video! So many valuable nuggets in here!

Excellent primer on e-assist foiling! 👍🏼

Excellent tips for all ranges of skill sets! Thanks heaps!!

Hi, I’m starting to fly with a F-One Rocket 110l… my weight is 82kg. Do you think I can move to a smaller board now (Volume ?) or do I need to master the flight before thinking to change…?

Hi Mike! When are those new boards coming out? Any info on new line?
