Foil Drive MAX Power - How to E-foil for the first time - 60cm cable

This morning, the sun was shining, and the sea was flat and glassy at Goring Gap, Worthing, West Sussex. So Sam, owner of Worthing Watersports, and Lionel Hatch from Swell Campers went for an E-Foil on the Foil Drive.
In this video, Sam teaches Lionel and the viewer the basics of Foildrive. Covering initial launch and lift. Explaining how to keep body weight forward whilst getting the board to full speed. Once full speed is achieved, you can shift some weight slightly back as you rise to your feet. Similar to surfing.
If you do not reach a high enough speed with the Foildrive motor, the foil will lift aggressively and too slowly. Causing you to create too much drag and stopping forward motion.
Sam also covers the basics of the FoilDrive wireless remote. Explaining the initial safety lock feature.
With the Foil Drive set up in full E-Foil mode, using a 60cm cable with three propellers, we were about to experience the true versatility of this equipment. The Foil Drive was securely attached to the wider Fanatic Downwind Foiling board, a perfect match for our climbing and learning needs.
We used the FoilDrive Max with the largest power battery, giving us a 40 min run time. Then, I had a second blast using the 1kg lighter sport battery for an extra 30 minutes of run time.
The Foil Drive three propeller upgrade kit gives extra thrust, which can help with full E-Foil mode.

I am on Sardegna and I try to learn Wing-Foiling and it's so difficult to Pump and get on my Foil in windy conditions. Yesterday I tried a E-Foil lesson with teacher without wind and it was so funny. I need to vuy my own, thanks for the video 🎉

It looked really good, it was fantastic morning (sorry, I managed to make an appearance in the video walking up the beach in the background after coming in from a paddle board session 😂)

Wouldn’t foiling in these conditions would be better as a full Electric Foil vs the Foildrive? Cheaper options with Electric boards these days as well.

Heya, most good and comparable E-Foil boards are £10,000-£15,000 The beauty of this system is can be used on your existing equipment. It is a good way for beginners to learn the foil and then continue to use the same equipment. Foil Drive is 4kg. Foildrive boards are 10-20kg, so the sensation is very different.

@@worthingwatersports maybe research into brands like SiFly and Waydoo for comparable boards which are half the price you claim. Agree with you on the weight difference but in flat or choppy water where you wont really be pumping anything longer than a minute, weight isn’t really a factor. There is a big difference between the two systems but they are used for different sports essentially. Each to their own but if you are looking at a FoilDrive and you are EFoiling more than 50% of the time then get an EFoil
