UniFoil, founded in 2014 by renowned foil designer Clifford Coetzer, is a global leader in hydrofoil innovation. Known for creating the first High-Aspect hydrofoil wing, Unifoil is always pushing to do more for the sport.
With background in aerospace engineering, it's no surprise they strive for the fastest and most advanced hydrofoils.
The Foil Drive x UniFoil introduction came from the likes of Team Riders Erik Antonson and Paul Cooper. After getting hooked on Fil Drive, they both sought out to refine their ride. Testing gear in different conditions and pushing limits. Paul Cooper taking the aerospace background of the company serious with his technical airs, sending it to the moon!
After much testing, Erik landed on the Quiver Killer as his go to Foildriving board. Given this board hadn't been designed specifically for Foil Drive, it is a perfect pairing. We're super excited to explore refined collaboration with UniFoil to create more great Foil Drive oriented gear.
