i had a go of one on my prone board. mounted it at the top of the mast and used it to catch tiny unbreaking waves. i could then pump back out without the motor and link waves. It's the only one that is good for prone foiling
Yes. It's too early to compare. Foildrive is an established brand with hundreds of users. Stoke is just doing first steps on the market. We need to see more users feedback from it before doing any conclusions or comparisons.
@@JetSurfingNation its been while, mb its time to compare StokeFoil and Foil Drive or its already in youtube? want to do right choice , appreciate helping
Much better to have only the santenna receiver than the whole battery box on deck. Seems solid and very smart. The trigger ergonomics may be pretty good for wingfoiling as well
Awesome review. Pretty cool how these type of foil assist products are advancing so quickly. I liked that the antenna cable has a detachable plug, much easier to route that cable if you can get a board customized or retrofitted with routing holes. When you were riding it did look a bit draggy with the battery positioned front of mast but i guess that is the tradeoff vs having a battery box positioned on the deck. The hand controller does look a little clumsy, in the stock photos on their website i could not really visualize how you would hold it in the palm of your hand, they way you showed it looks like its pretty small and easy to hold.
interested in light wind winging so really not looking for efoil power, just a boost. This look significantly easier to setup than the foil drive. No tape. NO fussy screws. No big box. Thin cable. Is the whole system about the same weight as the foil drive?
How does it compare vs the foil drive assist plus for power output and battery life? It’s a nice neat setup in comparison but I’m yet to see any data on those two things which is kind of important

@@JetSurfingNation The issue is despite being impressed by the neater design of this product after going through their website I can’t find any details on thrust levels or battery capacity which leaves us relying on reviewers like yourself to provide these comparisons. A simple it has more/less thrust than an assist/assist plus and I got this much usage out of a battery was what I was waiting for then the video ended
I did not try old assit but I am using FD assist+ every week. It has more thrust and battery life compared to stoke foil if that is what you are asking. It's impossible to estimate exact amount of riding time with these product. Someone heavy like me on a tiny board and a small wing is happy to get 20 minutes per battery. However a lighter person on a bigger wing would use less power and may reach even twice as that. Having battery inside in capsule on the mast limits the size of the battery. I don't have any tech details as well, so I assume it's a smaller battery there.
Nice review. Thx. Why is this more suited to paddle assist over prone assist. Are the props much further from the masts closer to the tail ?it looks like and would this make for more chance of leash tangle and coming into contact with your body. Never had a problem with FD .i didn't see in the vidoe where you state it has less power than FD? Thankyou!
As I only weigh 55 kg do you think it would delivery enough power for prone. My assist plus I get up on prone foil in any condition .rough, choppy water , flat up or downwind without ever using 100% throttle.. what do u think. Again thanks so much for doing these reviews.priceless!!!
I'm confused. if you already have FD+ why would you need second system which has less power and more drag? I would wait for more improvements from Stoke foil and continue with FD+ for now.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Very helpful. Have you seen the sup motor from Itiwit (decathlon)? It is very cheap and was wondering if you think it can be useful for foiling
#foilassist is getting more&more popular ... but this system is great for travelling &wingfoil takeoff assistance, however to really efoil it just got a to small battery;-)

I'm goint to DIY one of these. Looks like an easy job, 14 2170 batteries and 65150 motor esc combo, under 1000 dollars for sure
So less thrust power than the foil drive assist plus? But better swing weight? Are you going to do a detailed comparison?
Yes. It's too early to compare. Foildrive is an established brand with hundreds of users. Stoke is just doing first steps on the market. We need to see more users feedback from it before doing any conclusions or comparisons.

This looks really promising, would love a more in-depth review or comparison video with other new foils

Thank you for your detailed feedback! Yes it's a tradeoff
Needs more power! When's the new models coming out?
Hi,
What is the leash you mentioned? I could not quite make it out.
Thank you
Oceanus reeled leash
Another sweet video! Please compare the power output to foil drive
Foildrive is more powerful and lasts longer
lets keep on foiling!
How you hold the control?
Hi. How do you compare this product with Gen2?
Gen2 is better in every way
Thanks@@JetSurfingNation! How is the duration of stoke foiing battery in e-foil mode (flat water with no pumping)? Did you test it?
Very good video and useful info!! 🎉thank you for your great work

It’s about the same weight.. yes the power is enough for a boost for winging
Strange that they are about the same weight. Given that Stoke is an assist only, so less power output, you’d think it would be lighter…
Nice review!!!! Thanks Mike
cheers!

Yes it has less power compared to FD so i say it’s better for SUP foils

Itiwit and similar scubajet clones are for SUP use. They are slow and not suitable for foiling
Nice!
NIce one Mike, do you have a link for the leash you use in this video please?

4.5k for that??? lol
