1. Choose Your System

You’ll need to decide between the MAX or Slim Foil Drive. The MAX is our most popular kit, designed as the ultimate all-rounder with extended runtime and plenty of power for every session. The Slim, is a lightweight option created for riders who want a minimal setup and quick bursts of performance.

2. Choose your battery

Each system can be paired with different battery sizes to suit how you ride. Larger batteries deliver longer runtime, while smaller batteries keep the weight down, perfect for performance foiling and a more agile feel on the water. Whether you’re chasing endurance or chasing waves, the right battery choice ensures your Foil Drive moves with you.

Specifications of the Mast

The North Sonar AF80 is an anodised aeronautical grade aluminium mast at 80cm in length, compatible with the Sonar Carbon or Alloy fuselage system and foils.

Can the Motor be Moved?

Foil Drive Integrated Masts cannot be altered. This means that once the motor is in position, you cannot change where it is placed. You can order a Foil Drive without an Integrated Mast if you wish to do this, or opt for two different Integrated Mast setups.

Why an Integrated Mast?

Integrated Masts have become highly desired within the Foil Drive community as they reduce drag and install time while maintaining a sleek look. They are perfect for those who never want to remove their Foil Drive or change the motor position, making for a faster install and a smoother ride!
