Have been wing foiling for a year and just started with axis gear. Foil Drive has allowed me learn how to work with my different foils, get a sense of how they turn, how they perform pumping and especially useful - it’s allowed me to dick around with the rear foils to judge drag versus stability. Also able to keep looking at the speedometer on my watch to see when they stall and what drag they have. It’s gotten me into waves for the first time in my life (in a bay stealing wakes. It’s a great tool for training and practice and exploring. I’m using max system, weigh 95kg, using a 1401 art pro when I’m on my prone which is 30L. If I use my Appleslice which is 95L I can use a spitfire 900. In flat water that is.

PSA: If the battery is in the FD, it's like an idling boat. While very rare, the motor could start without hitting the trigger and cut your fingers. So, never touch an uncovered prop with the battery installed. I cover my prop when taking a break on the beach because people love to touch it! -------- I'm loving my Foil Drive!

Nice one Ritchie. I’ve had one for 6 months. Love it, it’s a “session saver” as can always have fun if conditions are no good such as onshore. Also good if swell too big to prone.
