Foil Drive Gen2

Foil Drive are stoked to announce the future of electric hybrid foil assist. They have just released the Gen2 Foil Drive Assist MAX & Assist Slim. The Foil Drive Assist Slim is the smaller, lighter, performance-oriented model, for the ultimate in performance hybrid electric assist foiling. Despite its small size, it offers plenty of thrust to get you on foil easier and sooner, though the smaller batteries do reduce the run time. The Foil Drive Assist MAX is the flagship model, for the ultimate in hybrid electric assist foiling. As the name suggests, the Assist MAX offers the maximum thrust, run time and versatility! Foil Drive gives us the full info:

With the experience and community backing we have grown and developed over the last few years, Foil Drive as a brand and a product is coming of age, and ready to enhance the foiling experience forever.
