Surprised you didn’t mention the Gen2 connectivity issue with Armstrong boards.

[@HALFLIFEVIDEO]

Totally forgot! My fault and thank you for bringing it up. Yes - the carbon stringers in Armstrong boards block the signal making it tough to use. Hence - why we're riding a Jimmy Lewis. We recently saw a video that leveraged tin foil - attached with packing tap (down the mast track box - then up the edge of the board). We haven't been able to test that out yet but are hopeful. Great catch and thank you for bringing it up. Apologies! Tim

No pumping, can you with the foil assist bolted on.

[@HALFLIFEVIDEO]

Hi Rob - I"m sure exactly what your question is but yes - with the foil assist you can get out to the waves without pumping. That said - the ability to pump can help you position yourself on the wave. Have fun Tim

Excellent breakdown

Thank you James - we really appreciate you checking out our video. All the best to you and happy Foiling! Best Tim

I put the remote in my pocket without turning it off, and when I climbed up out of the water on a ladder near a concrete wall, the button depressed and my board went full speed into the wall. Lots of dings. Luckily I did not get hurt. Shit always happens when I'm tired.

[@HALFLIFEVIDEO]

Holy Smokes! Thank you for sharing that story. It's never a bad idea with foiling to come in a bit before you hit that fatigue point. A LOT can happen. Glad you were ok. Thanks for checking out the video. Best, Tim

How you compare the max battery to the max sport battery I just bought a setup with the max sport battery

What about BROKEN LATCHES ?

[@HALFLIFEVIDEO]

Hi Pedro. So far we haven't seen any broken latches. Is this something you've encountered? Best Tim

[@widmarkeloo6812]

I noticed foil drives units come with tappered head screws. How does it match up with the armstrong steup which uses flat head screws? Did you have to buy longer flat head screws?

[@HALFLIFEVIDEO]

Yes - for the foil drive two you will need longer screws to connect your Armstrong gear to the board. Sorry for the delayed response! Best Half-Life Crew

Was Jason wearing a neoprene, to get cut like that on his knee? 😬😱 I hope not! ?

[@HALFLIFEVIDEO]

No -- and -- he was on a pintail board. Additionally, he was being fairly aggressive in terms of getting into a steeper wave. Wave selection is key and....personally...I like a little more tail on the board when prone/foil drive. Stay safe and have a great time!

[@pedrolang7495]

How are you all, I sincerely wish I was as happy as you, but unfortunately that is not the reality, I spent a lot of money to buy my latest generation Foil drive, and so far I have only had problems, I am very disappointed with this equipment.

[@HALFLIFEVIDEO]

Hi Pedro - I'm really sorry to hear that. Have you reached out to their customer service? We've found the team at Foil Drive to be very responsive. I hope things resolve themselves and that you get back on the water. Best Half-Life Crew
