More Time Foiling. More Fun on the Water.

Foil Drive makes hydrofoiling more accessible, more versatile and more fun.

Whether you're learning to foil for the first time, looking to progress your skills, or chasing high-performance waves and wind-driven foiling, Foil Drive gives you the power to get up and flying — so you can spend more time actually foiling.

The best part?

The same system can grow with you.

Start on flat water while you learn. Progress to waves, downwind or winging. Then use the same equipment for high-performance foiling and switch the motor off when you want to experience the silence and freedom of unpowered flight.

Who is Foil Drive for?

Anyone who wants to have more fun on the water.

Foil Drive can be used by riders at almost every stage of their foiling journey.

Beginners

Learning to foil can be challenging because the hardest part is often simply getting enough forward speed to lift the board and rider out of the water.

Foil Drive provides the forward thrust you need to get moving and onto foil without relying on a boat, wave or strong wind.

You stay in control the entire time.

Start with a small amount of throttle to move slowly and find your balance. As your confidence grows, gradually increase the throttle and speed.

This makes it easier to focus on the most important part of learning:

Learning to fly.

Intermediate Riders

Once you've mastered the basics on flat water, Foil Drive opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

Use the motor to:

• Get onto foil when there isn't enough wave or wind energy.
• Explore new locations.
• Practice your starts.
• Build confidence in different conditions.
• Get more time actually flying.

As your skills improve, you can start using natural energy from waves and wind.

Get up to speed with the motor, then reduce or switch off the motor and let the foil glide.

Advanced Riders

For experienced riders, Foil Drive becomes a powerful performance tool.

Use it for:

• High-performance surf foiling
• Downwind foiling
• Wing foiling
• Windswell
• Wake foiling
• Flatwater
• Exploring new foil setups and locations

The motor can provide the boost needed to get onto foil, then be switched off so you can experience the silent, drag-free feeling of unpowered flight.

Why Use a Foil Drive?

Getting onto foil is the hard part!

When learning to foil, one of the biggest challenges is generating enough forward speed to lift the board and rider clear of the water.

Foil Drive solves this problem by providing controlled forward thrust directly to your hydrofoil.

Instead of spending your session repeatedly trying to generate enough speed to take off, you can use the motor to get moving, find your balance and establish stable flight.

More time flying means more opportunity to learn.

You're in Control

You could learn to foil behind a boat, but that requires:

• A boat
• A driver
• A spotter
• Suitable water
• Good timing and communication

It also requires the rider to manage the board and foil while being pulled behind the boat.

With Foil Drive, you control your own speed and power.

Want to start slowly?

Pull the trigger a little.

Need more speed?

Increase the throttle.

Ready to glide?

Reduce the power or switch the motor off.

You're in control throughout the entire process.

Learn Faster

Foiling is a skill that requires practice.

The more time you spend actually flying, the more opportunities you have to develop:

• Balance
• Foot placement
• Pitch control
• Roll control
• Turning
• Pumping
• Takeoff technique

Foil Drive helps you spend less time fighting to get onto foil and more time developing the skills that actually make you a better foiler.

The result is more flying, more practice and faster progression.

Progress With the Same Gear

One of the biggest advantages of Foil Drive is its versatility.

The same system that helps you learn on flat water can become a tool for high-performance riding as your skills develop.

Start Here

Flatwater → Learn to Fly → Build Confidence

Use Foil Drive to learn the fundamentals and become comfortable controlling a hydrofoil.

Then Progress

Waves → Wind → Downwind → Pumping

Use Foil Drive to get onto foil and then start relying more on natural energy.

Go Further

Performance Surf → Wing → Advanced Foiling

Use the motor strategically, or turn it off completely and experience unpowered flight.

Your Foil Drive system can evolve with your riding rather than being something you outgrow.

Experience Silent Flight

One of the most rewarding parts of Foil Drive is what happens when you turn the motor off.

Use the motor to get onto foil, then release the throttle.

The motor stops.

The noise disappears.

The propeller stops turning.

And you're left with the feeling of silent, drag-free flight above the water.

Whether you're riding a wave, gliding through swell or pumping between sections, this is where the magic of foiling really comes alive.

It's incredibly addictive.

You've been warned.

One System. Many Ways to Ride.

Foil Drive isn't limited to one type of foiling.

Depending on your equipment and riding style, you can use it for:

Surf Foiling
Get onto foil quickly, then use wave energy and switch the motor off.

Wing Foiling
Get assistance when the wind is light or take-offs are challenging.

Downwind Foiling
Use motor assistance to accelerate and get onto foil, then connect bumps and swell under your own power.

Wake Foiling
Get flying easily and focus on riding the wake.

Flatwater Foiling
Learn and practice without needing waves or strong wind.

E-Foiling
Certain Foil Drive systems can provide sustained powered riding, allowing you to enjoy the e-foil experience.
