Quick tip. When walking out with your board. Grab the tail by the handle and lift when the wave comes at you and drive the nose down when the wave come at you. It drives the board under so it does not pop up and accidentally hit you in the face. When the board pops up is when it’s most dangerous.

Hey Paul & Crew.. Thanks heaps for all the tips and tricks for Foil Drive surfing - very cool..👍 I'm just exploring my options, and haven't really had the opportunity to discuss Foil Drive with anyone in my local area - the far south coast of NSW - I've only ever seen one guy using them, and he's having a bunch of fun! Anyway, it was awesome information from you guys 🙏 and with my birthday coming up very soon I might finally commit to the next stage of my foiling journey! Cheers.. Billy 🙂
Hey Billy! Glad you're having fun and happy birthday :D The NSW Foil Club is really welcoming, not so close by but a great crew if you're looking for some foil love! - Caitlyn
Great tutorial Paul! I've also just experienced in the last months in Morocco how great the J-turn works. May I add, that it is amazing also in bigger waves that would normally scare you. It kind of gets you going on waves in which you'd probably need towing in. I am using the J-turn now at Lake Garda on short wind chop to learn how to Downwind. Works great, since going straight you'd hit the chop in front of you and fall sooo many times😅..like I did. I like my 90cm mast very much in waves. Cheers Stefan
Great sequence and commenting - as always Paul moving ahead at lightspeed with Ben & yourself gift to the water warriors of the planet - BUZZ (aka Jack SURFOILZ)
Hoping to get a foil drive for assisted Winging, take offs & offshore wind conditions making my Wing choice a little smaller. Would love to see some videos & tips on use in conjunction with Wingfoiling. Thanks guys the product looks awesome.
50 Minutes total time in the water with 17% battery leftover. worth noting filming is very inefficient, you spend a lot of time circling back and zooming back out to the break to get as much footage as possible :)
We offer a premium, performance based product with top service and adaptability and the price reflects that. If we made it any cheaper we'd have to sacrifice part of our offering. If you can get your hands on a demo from a local dealer we'd recommend giving it a go :) We know our word is bias but plenty of reviews out there if you need your arm twisted!
Thanks Paul, such a comprehensive clip. A couple of questions. 1. what did moving the box forward give you? The other thing what's the width of the JL 4'11" 44L
Typically, setting the box to the back is better. Moving it forward can generate more lift due to it's position but it dies require more technique and weight to keep the nose of the board down. Masterclass in this coming soon!
I was hoping to see more prone takeoff techniques and more info on how best to position the mast/box on the board so your feet don’t need to shift motor on/off. The J-turn was awesome…will have to try that. Great video! 🤙🏽

Awesome Stefan! It definitely transitions into a few different use cases, thanks for sharing your insight too!
So good watching this with a beer Friday night; really appreciate the honest detailed instruction!! The J-turn technique looks really useful!

Thanks mate!
Extremely useful and professionally done. Thank you Paul!
Super tips !
Freaking awesome! Haven't been this stoked since learning to kite foil!!

Thankyou! It's on the list for sure!
perfect timing ,, our arrives next Wed ,, feel like a kid waiting for Christmas Day .. love what you guys have done ..
Did someone say Christmas in July!
how long did the battery last
50 Minutes total time in the water with 17% battery leftover. worth noting filming is very inefficient, you spend a lot of time circling back and zooming back out to the break to get as much footage as possible :)
@@foildrive Do you move your feet much between motor foling and surf foiling?
For a newby at FD that was helpful and relaxing too!
I got a chuckle y your dismounts which are similar to mine 🙃 safe n smart 👍🏽
Great video, these masterclass videos are awesome! Appreciate the effort.
Thanks Bobby!
Hey Paul, could you film a session with just takeoffs - standard and with the J-turn? Fun vid to watch. Thx
Love it, but for 5500$ USD... Seems like ALOT. Been putting off buying one due to high price

This was so good, thanks. I've been really torn between the tow boogie and the foil drive. Definitely looking like fd is the one...

The board is a Jimmy Lewis custom!

It's better with a 85 mast or 75 mast ?
Great tips. Thanks for posting. This is the help I needed. You make it look easy. 😂

We've got a full gear setup overview Masterclass on the to-do list!
amazing how light it is
This was a great one, thank you for the time and effort put in
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video! What width is that board?
It's a prototype Jimmy Lewis :)

Wow! I just retired; this might be something to sink my teeth into. Thanks
People never talk about how rough shore break can be for getting a foil setup out on the water.
Great video and narration, can I ask what mic set up your using Paul? Keep up the great work 👍
Hey, Caitlyn here! The microphone is a bit of a DIY job, it's a Rode Go3 inside a... latex pouch...
@@foildrive top notch DIY system if I don’t mind saying so myself…cheers Caitlyn
@@peaplecreative hahah thanks! If it works it works!
thank you for this great video, can you tell me what your settings are for the foil drive and the control lever. THANKS
