FOIL DRIVE Future🔥Featuring Paul and Ben

If you are looking to motorize your existing foiling gear, FoilDrive got you covered! Today we meet Paul and Ben, the creators of FoilDrive, to discuss the exciting new features of this product and its updates! Lets go!!
Paul and Ben, it's a pleasure to meet you both. Your Foil Drive Assist system quickly became one of my favorite ways to motorize foiling. While other companies are creating large and heavy eFoils that last for three hours, your approach and goal was completely unique and opposite. Can you tell us why you decided to take this specific route in creating a super lightweight system?
Your Foil Drive helped me create the lightest setup on the market, weighing in at just 13kg, while most eFoils on the market are over 30-35kg or more. While the Foil Drive is not meant to be an eFoil itself, it can still be used as such, especially on big wings and for lightweight riders. Can you tell us about the main use cases for the Foil Drive and who it will benefit the most?
In terms of safety, when I first saw the original Foil Drive Assist box, I was a bit confused by its DIY look and was concerned that the box would leak and the battery would explode. I imagine some riders might have similar concerns. Can you address the safety of the whole system?
Can you discuss the best positions to attach the Foil Drive box to the board?
How does the Foil Drive system work with both small prone boards and big SUP foiling boards?
Some users don't like the idea of having a box on the board. Have you considered placing the battery on the mast near the motor, similar to how diving scooters look like torpedoes?
What new developments can we expect from the Foil Drive this season? Can you discuss the integrated mast and any new features? Will we see a boost mode? Are there any plans for EU and USA resellers?
The foiling industry is still relatively new, and many people are still surprised to see an eFoil. How do you see the industry progressing over the next five years?

I've had my foil drive for 18 months and totally agree it's changed my life. I live in a very busy tourist town and can have waves to myself with 100s of surfers sitting on the points. I sit wide and catch anything and annoy noone. Ben and Paul are the real deal and have assisted me with any small issues. I learnt to foil with foil drive and wouldn't bother going out without it.

Totally agree - Game changer product!! Water time, wave count and stoke have increased exponentially since implementing Foil Drive! I've been using a 105l Wingfoil board to prone foil but now also a 4'8 60l board and having a ball with both!!

These guys seem really passionate about their products. I love the new features they added to the Foildrive, exciting stuff!

I paid a friend $$$ to take me out and tow in with a ski and this was for only a 3 hour session. I begged my sister to provide access to her dock so i could try dock start (hate asking for favors) and eventually that got old and i could not dock start. Dock start also you need to check with your Marina as a lot of them have rules on where you can foil, if you can foil and may charge fees for marina access. I don't have friends with boats and the wife would never allow me to buy one. Foil Drive solved all these problems for me. I am at the beginning of my Foil/FD journey but already the ability to go out on my own terms in an area no one wants to surf or can't and not be dependant on a dock, a ski, a boat, is game changer. Now if i can figure out how to stay on foil that will be nirvana.
