I was struggling with foiling in the surf, I could do it behind a boat just fine and was starting to scratch the surface of dock starting and was looking into getting a jet ski or some kind of boat. I realized that with a ski or boat I would need at least one other person to go with me always and someone that either wanted to learn to foil (and hopefully near my ability level) or someone that was cool just driving only. But in most locations you also need a spotter so that’s 2 other people that you need to line up your schedules and froth level to want to go with you. Not to mention the cost and extra hassle of a ski or boat. Then I found the foil drive gen 2 and couldn’t order one fast enough. This product changed my life, literally. I can go anytime I want, by myself or with friends, I can go efoiling when it’s flat, I can “tow” myself into waves, downwind, the possibilities are endless! But it took me from barely being able to foil to being able to progress at a rate that I couldn’t believe. In one month I progressed further than I had in the last year and a half!!! And the price might seem steep but if you consider the alternatives, it’s quite reasonable actually. It’s VERY easy to set up and use and I couldn’t be happier with the product, I use mine at least 2 times a week (I work full time) but in the summer when it stays light for a few hours after work I use it daily. Oh and one more thing, the customer service is second to none!!! If anything goes wrong they will get…

Thanks so much for leaving a review Dana, so glad you've unlocked foiling with your Foil Drive, will be sure to pass your feedback on to the team! - Caitlyn - SBStephen B.Verified Buyer1 week agoRated 5 out of 5 starsAwesome product and excellent service
I previously owned a Foil Drive Assist Plus and now own a Foil Drive Assist MAX (Gen 2) and it is the best investment I have made (ever) and constantly recommend it others wanting to get into any of the foiling sports (especially prone or sup foiling).
Initially I purchased a Foil Drive assist to help get into prone foiling, but I'm still having too much fun on the Foil Drive.
The Foil Drive community is very helpful and welcoming.
What makes this product even more special is the support at Foil Drive. They really stand behind their products and the support staff are very responsive and friendly. The minor issues that I had were sorted very quickly. I have met the co-owners personally I can say that they are great guys.
Special mention to both Sarah and Travis who I have spoken with on the phone and conversed via email. It is very refreshing to deal with helpful and friendly staff.

Well it has for me. As a keen kitefoiler in swell using Peaks or Clouds I just loved it, but then I found winging. No more chasing the kite, altering your line to keep kite line tension, just flag the wing behind you, how good is this.
But then Foildrive Plus arrived, chasing bay swell lines, nothing inhibiting what lines to take, pumping downwind from swell line to swell line, motor fully clear of the water just using the swell power for 100’s of metres.
No more riding big oversized boards, 30lts is more than enough.
Oh my ***, Gen 2 Max arrived, now riding small wings and smashing the swell lines. Yes, it’s extra weight but that gives more momentum to cruise across the swell lines when required. Power to burn, shoot back upwind to do another downwind run, it couldn’t get better than this, or could it?

Get more time on foil, more waves, any conditions, and longer sessions. Ive never foiled more than when this thing is bolted to my board. 10/10 is worth buying.

We have been lucky enough to get a demo unit from FD early for testing and the Gen2 Max foildrive has blown our expectations away. Endurance, power, and feel with the new 40v batteries is amazing and we are opening up new possibilities that blur the lines between Efoil and assist. All of this means we are having loads of fun while progressing so much faster in all the sports we love. We've also been able to get out in conditions we'd never wing/foil in before. Can't wait to get our teaching program upgraded with Foildrive once we have them in stock. My advice is find a dealer near you and put in a Pre Order as soon as you can! Maybe Houston Kiteboarding or Pacific North Sports!
