🙏helped me a lot in the beginning. Now I've figured out that on a smaller board it helps while doing the double arm strokes to gently press your feet down on the water surface to help control the pitch in a good flat angle (like you'd do on a boat with trimming the motor😊) And, mounting the system further back in the tracks will make you plane more easily BUT when free foiling might be off centre, weird feel. The further you mount it forward in tracks the harder you get it on a plane, but you may find the sweet spot somewhere along the "road"😅. So some playing around with the mast position can help. thanks for making Foildrive 😀
Terrific masterclass 💯, thank you Paul 👍
Thank you so much for making this video. It totally gives me direction what boards to buy.
Great video. Very helpful information!
Brilliant! Thanks Paul!
Very helpful! At 100kg, it's great to see a fellow big dawg on small boards and foils with the FD Gen 2.Thanks for all great information and getting a head of the opinion train.
Super helpful and great job setting expectations. So glad you didn’t have 65kg person demonstrate all that and left me wondering if it would work for big guys.
We're all for real world examples and providing content for a range of riders both physically and from a skill level perspective. Glad you found it useful!
Thank you! I normally hybrid wing on my 75L board and FD+. While on vacation, I've been hybrid proning with it. I watched your video this morning, and it inspired me to try my 25L winger board. Success for me and a friend!! We had a great day in very small swell.
can you please list your weight and the model name/number of the board you used?
@@tormarquis It's a 2023 Fanatic SkySurf TE (the pink board). I'm 160 lbs. Just finished riding it today. 😊
@@Foilfun thanks for the answer.
Great video Paul .. gonna try your pop up technique as I have been doing front foot first ... your method looks better.
Great instructional and perfect timing, thank you. My Gen2 arrives tomorrow and hopefully this education has stopped me making one!
Masterclass indeed mate, love its magic
So smart to do the master class tutorial.
Great stuff. Thank you.
This is "super" helpful for prone surfers, and pump foilers, down winders. I'm guessing it's a bit different for wing foilers as we need at least one hand on the wing unless we are being really fancy. I am not fancy yet. In watching this, I think really low volume sinkers (volume for one's weight), long boards are not a go unless you're using straps even though the Gen2 Max has the power to get you flying. I'm starting on a 6' 2" x 21" 100 liter that should be cake and have an 85 liter 5' 6" x 26" (traditional wing board) and will be curious about how technique evolves with FoilDrive users and wings.
Some tech interest there for me. I wing surf, 3D print last 13 years since I designed my first 3D printer motherboard and wrote it's software and all the wings I ride are my own designs. So very similar skill set, including I spent many years designing RC jet boats and jet units using brushless motors. I'm 115KG and so it's interesting to see it lifting you with various non beginner foils. I'm pretty happy with the winging coming from wind surfing and kite boarding but it's nice to see discussion of your "pre-spool" (folding prop would be a big point of difference vs fixed there) I've seen what I think are some fairly recent units, if you aren't yet moulding them, I'd suggest a medium hardness polyurethane 2=part resin. I suppose the 3D prints are adequate if not exposed to shear forces against the layer adhesion, PETG+ is pretty awesome to work with, has a bit of shrink but the adhesion is great and if you print it in white, much better temperature stability than PLA. There are some tricks in my wings that are being adopted by a few other companies for the outer wing profiles that affect stall angles after I linked some old but very inspired wing research on kite forums back in early 2021. The controller location vs the water is also interesting. With lots of cheap chipsets embracing radio inc ESP32 series with wireless and bluetooth and Arduino and LORA, that's an area I haven't experimented with under water yet. Ultrasonic might be an option too. The big trick with radio is FM and phase locked loops, I'm sure it can be adapted to ultrasonic and foils aren't noisy, so long as your prop's ballanced I guess the motor vibrations up through the mast aren't too bad? It's convenient that the maximum mast vibrations near the motor under load will be absorbed by the water around the mast.
Please a video about integrated mast vs carbon mast with universal motor.
At "41 minutes 35 sec you introduce a 5'8" 30 liter foil board which i have since identified as a TWIG Pro Model. I was very impressed how you were able to ride it with the "foil drive". They don't make these boards any more. Is there any manufacturer out there making similiar boards?
thank you great vid....so much great info at around 34 min re using to much power
Have you ever tried to mount a foil drive on to a wake foil board? Will the signal transmit through the board?
Super interesting ! could you give reference of your electric screwdriver please ?

haha the best tool in the shop!
It's a Makita TD022D

Hello.... i tried to reproduce your technique on a 60 liter board, however the foil drive didn't deliver enough power to get me up. Therefore, Im wondering if the "app" was set differently than yours for this activity. Can you please post your settings that you used on the "remote" and /or app, so I can reproduce your results?? Thank you
My Foil Drive Gen 2 arrived a couple of days ago. Not yet got it in the water. I think post this there’s a video re the controller settings and how when the controller gets in the water the prop will stop (sensible safety). So if on a small board, where you need to keep the controller on the board to transmit, won’t the both front arm swim stroke to get a boost, stop the motor?
The Gen2 system allows the rider to change the latency in the app. this is the time it takes for the controller to "cut out" and stop the motor. More info here: ua-cam.com/video/o60V_-4efV8/v-deo.htmlsi=eYF51RWyVb5jlxqy
Do you need the foam inserts if your board has no carbon inside? And is that any special foam?
Genial el vídeo!
Me surge una duda, piensas que una tabla con menos volumen y un poco más larga, sería más fácil despegar que con una mas corta pero con más volumen?
Yo estoy en tu rango de peso y con una tabla de 80 litros 5,3' no consigo coger velocidad y he siguiendo todas tus indicaciones... Tabla plana, peso adelantado...
Sería conveniente actualizar mi equipo a un motor de 3 hélices?
Great video Paul. How much do you weigh, out of curiosity?
95kg. It says above, in the introduction
Oops, thanks.@@catvaganay3237
Thanks a lot ! So should you design a board for the gen 2 ?
DC boards
We're working on a whole list of gear designed specifically for Foil Drive here: foildrive.com.au/pages/designed-for-foil-drive
Can you do a masterclass on how to get up into waves?
sure thing! will add it to the list!
I have the same question as someone else. What electric screwdriver is that and what torque setting?
I think this is your best video. Well done

What torque setting do you have it set at? Thank you for letting me know the tool.
@@foildrive
What length distance from board down to motor? 20cm?
On all of these, Paul used a 25cm Gen2 stator cable setup. I think that is the distance from the top of the mast's base plate to the center of drive (center of propeller.) If you want the length from the board, you need to know the height of the battery box. I am not sure what those are for the Max and Slim. This video has more info - ua-cam.com/video/aqdWWU4CELQ/v-deo.html
25+5MMM likely 30cm.
