One Month In... Foil Drive Gen2... Small Board Attempt

[@ericivy9979]

Sir, I didn't think anyone was crazy enough to try this. Up to this point in time, I've only wondered if it was possible. I have the same board and a gen 2 foil drive. Looks like you've given me a whole new area of foiling to explore. Thank you!

Been using it quite a bit and getting up has gotten a lot easier.

I was just wondering about this sort of rig today, great to see that it works! Seems like it could be a good way to learn to pump foil where I live & also add a safety factor for return vs swimming…

You bet!

[@lakechamplainkitenwing]

It’s an awesome little contraption.

Great that you show real life attempts

My 28L felt like riding a tablesaw. Missed my front foot placement and my leg swept under the board, just missing the prop. Just making sure you know the dealio :) Exploring Champlain this week if you want to sesh.

Inspiring! As you were talking about a 30l Board. Today I tried my old Kite Foil Board(Duotone Pace), 29.9l, 18.5", 4'10" with Foildrive. Frontwing Duotone Whizz 1000cm. 82kg weight. It almost starts better than my 45l Prone/Wing Board 4'6". The big difference is the rocker. I guess it's true what the guys from Foildrive say: length beats volume. Let's add, less rocker beats volume and maybe some inches length 😅. The nose of the Board is a bit wider, which makes it easier not to sink the nose while accelerating. It's amazing finding old boards that work well with Foildrive. Even Kitefoil Boards🎉. Enjoy your Lake withFoildrive. I do the same at Lake Garda👋.

Agreed. Unfortunately, I go from a 60L down to a 12L. Definitely need to get something in between.

Fantastic that's inspired me to try my 34 liter board now ,, ive been learning with FD on my 56 liter. Thanks

[@lakechamplainkitenwing]

I think a 30L board would be the perfect size. Guess I need to go out and buy one.
