Collection: Electric Foil Gear

What it actually does

A foil assist is a small electric motor on your mast with a hand controller. It gets you up onto foil without a wave, a wing or a boat, and then you turn it off and ride. It is not an efoil — you are still foiling under your own steam once you are up.

Who it suits

Two groups buy these. People learning, because the hardest part of foiling is the twenty seconds before you are flying, and being able to repeat that on demand collapses the learning curve. And people who already foil well, because it turns a knee-high, unrideable day into a session.

Batteries and freight

Lithium batteries are dangerous goods and travel under a special freight arrangement — a flat $110 anywhere in Australia. Everything else ships on the normal rates. We are a Foil Drive dealer and we stock the spare parts, so a broken cable does not mean a month off the water.

Still weighing it up? Ring the shop on (07) 5309 6624 or come into Cotton Tree. We ride this gear here, and we would rather spend ten minutes getting you on the right thing than sell you the dearest one on the page.
