Foil Drive Propeller GuardUpdated 4 days ago

The Foil Drive V2 propeller guard is an optional accessory and is not included as a standard item with any system. It is designed as an additional safety feature and can be purchased separately for use across all Foil Drive systems.

This injection moulded V2 propeller guard provides bump protection around the motor, helping reduce the chance of contact with the propeller during use.

Does the propeller guard remove all risk?

No. While the propeller guard helps reduce the risk of injury by providing an additional layer of protection around the motor, it does not eliminate all risks associated with foiling.

Foiling is an inherently high-risk water sport. Users must always exercise caution and remain aware of their surroundings both in and out of the water.

In addition to the motor, other components such as the mast, fuselage, and foils are sharp and may also cause injury.

Who is the propeller guard suitable for?

The propeller guard is recommended for:

• Beginners and those learning to foil
• Children or younger riders
• Recreational riders seeking additional protection

Even experienced foilers may benefit from using a propeller guard in certain conditions or setups.

What are the drawbacks?

The propeller guard is not a performance upgrade. It will introduce additional drag and reduce efficiency.

It is generally most suitable for e-foil use, where the propeller remains consistently submerged, helping to minimise any noticeable impact on performance.

In surf-style foiling, the added drag may be more noticeable and can affect overall ride feel.
