Foil Assist Systems
ELECTRIC ASSIST FOR FOILING
Foil Drive is an advanced electric propulsion system that mounts to the foil mast and helps with take-offs and maintaining speed on the foil. It’s a highly popular solution for wing foil, SUP foil, prone foil and downwind foil, as it enables easier lift and more time on the foil — even in lighter conditions.The Foil Drive system is designed as an assist, meaning it doesn’t replace technique but enhances it. Riders still use their own balance, pumping and waves, while the electric drive provides support during initial acceleration or moments when speed drops.
WHAT IS A FOIL DRIVE SYSTEM?
A Foil Drive system is a compact electric motor with a battery and wireless remote control that attaches to the foil mast. It powers a small propeller that provides additional thrust and enables:
- easier take-offs onto the foil without heavy pumping,
- longer rides between waves,
- technique training without reliance on ideal conditions,
- increased safety when returning to shore.
The system is modular, meaning it can be adapted to various foil setups and disciplines.
FOIL DRIVE ASSIST MAX
Foil Drive Assist Max is a more powerful version of the system, designed for riders who want more power, longer autonomy and maximum support in more demanding conditions. It is suitable for heavier riders, larger foil setups, or riding in lighter wind and smaller waves.
Advantages of the Assist Max version:
- larger battery capacity
- stronger thrust
- longer runtime
- adjustable settings via the remote
WHO IS FOIL DRIVE SUITABLE FOR?
Foil Drive is an excellent choice for:
- beginners who want a faster, easier transition onto the foil
- advanced riders who want to connect more waves without excessive paddling
- downwind foilers for reliable starts
- anyone who wants more time on the water even in weaker conditions
It’s important that your foil setup is compatible with the system and that installation is done correctly. Professional installation and regular maintenance are recommended.
WHY CHOOSE FOIL DRIVE?
The Foil Drive system brings a new dimension to foiling — more freedom, more time on the foil and fewer frustrations when conditions are less than ideal. It allows you to make the most of every day on the water, whether you’re wing foiling, SUP foiling or enjoying a downwind adventure.
