Is the Foil Drive a viable efoil alternative

[@jennydowdle9016]

THANK YOU Rob. Magnificent technical knowledge put across in layman’s lingo. You have unlocked a new and valuable dimension. Garnished beautifully with your pure stoke. Please, please keep your content coming out.

Always great info, keep them coming. My son only rides my Assist+ as an E-foil with an Naish HA1800 that I past down to him on a old Lift Kite foil board. He loves it. I love the Gen2 Max.

Thanks Joe 🤙

Love your passion, sharing is caring. The weight being issue N 1 for me, I will look at it seriously soon. My only fear how good are the motors and batteries ? Can we trust the set up ? Which company will survive and still have after sales service ? The integrated mast, motor & battery (no board) is still around 5500, cheaper than elite efoil for sure but not a gadget price Still very good news for efoil sport in general !

@@robbart7599 Yes 100% will not replace an actually Efoil just opens up some other options . I’ve put well over 1000 hours on the Gen 2 other than very minor issues no problems at all and I do very long Downwind runs few miles offshore all the time so the unit is reliable .

Great Rob ! What an abundance of foil do you have. Cabrinha h-series my adventure foil. I bought it watching your videos.

[@Piros181]

Cheers! Love the H-series!

Another major benefit of this over a full blown efoil and its mass... is the ability to run a leg rope without the chance of one's leg being tugged off if going over the falls haha

@ With the 2 blade still pumps ok but the 3 blade it’s very hard to

Rob, I used the Motor with 2 rotors, Appletree 80L. V3, Foil Levitaz Shark 2000/330 on a lake. Now I have waves in Dom.-Rep., Cabarete and like to Wingfoil in light wind. Is the Frontwing 2000 too big? My weight is 60kg. Is the 2 blates rotor too small for waves and I need 3 blades? Is the motor position 20cm too less for waves and I need 60cm cable? And where is your Controller? Didn't see it on your boom? Bianca

[@Piros181]

@heudoi75 Hey Bianca I didn’t use the FD on the wing , I was just showing that the board could be used for multi purposes. Yes 2000 is huge for your weight . I really don’t use anything over 1000cm2 and I’m 85kg . You need the 2 blade for the Efoil but for everything else I use the 3 blade . I use 15cm on my normal board it’s perfect for me even pushing up wind . A bigger foil will give more battery time especially on flat water . Any other questions fire away . Cheers Rob

Where can you buy that Slingshot intergrated mast ??

[@sampep]

Only 0.5LBS difference with the NL mast? And it's aluminum with a long cable vs short. Im quite amazed

[@Piros181]

That’s promising for slingshot big foil comeback.

Great video Rob. If you have the FB L2 running the nano unpowered. Would the shorter board be similar length? 12 kg sounds nice!

[@maxfinck9008]

This is very interesting. I ride Armstrong ml 100L with Ha 880 or 580. I have the foil drive max with 15cm. Will upgrade to new motor with longer cable. Should i also upgrade board. It doesn’t sit well 5mil gap at front bat housing. What are those boards? Foil drive has nothing on site.

[@__nathan___]

I’m interested in both foil drive and Armstrong ml board but I don’t understand your comment. Are you saying they don’t pair well together? Can you explain your comment more? Thanks
