THE FOIL DRIVE is a collaborative board with the legends at Foil Drive.
Designed and tested with the team at Foil Drive, this board was specially created to
function with the gen 2 system. With a larger surface area on the bottom, rolled hard
edges and minimal rocker this board begins to plane as soon as you press go. But don’t
let its friendly appearance fool you, it's an absolute weapon on foil.
Specifically designed with a softer deck pad to ensure you’re comfortable enough to stay
on foil for hours.
GENERAL GOAL | THEME OF THE BOARD:
This board is designed to pair perfectly with the Foil Drive Gen 2 system.
CONDITIONS IT'S WORKING BEST:
Any conditions. Whatever you usually prone, or downwind with Foil Drive assistance.
SKILL LEVEL IT'S BEST FOR:
Novice to pro. Just choose size according to level.
WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU DESIGNEDIT?:I wanted a board that would work effortlessly with the Foil Drive Gen 2 system. A board
that is designed to get into the air, and on foil as easily as possible, that still has a progressive shape and can be pushed really hard. A true balance of performance and
functionality.
It also needed to work well as a prone board in the surf, for those days where you want
to give the Foil Drive a break. You probably won’t have many days like this, as Foil Driving is just too addictive.
WHAT IT POSSIBLY COMPROMISES ON THEN?:
The rocker is quite flat, so it doesn’t like taking off deep in the pocket on heavy waves.
This is not exactly what it has been designed for though.
OUTLINE:
Pulled in nose, parallel mid section, to pulled in tail. The narrower nose and tail help to
lay the board over on harder carves without catching a rail. The parallel mid section
helps the board track and plane, enabling it to get on foil even quicker.
RAILS:
Rolled with hard bottom edges. The rolled rails enable the bottom surface area of the
board to be as big as possible, enabling earlier planning and more equal volume
distribution. The hard edges help water release more efficiently, reducing drag. They are
still tucked enough through the mid-rear section to ensure they don’t catch on more
radical maneuvers.
ROCKER:
Flatter with subtle nose kick. The flatter rocker helps the board to plane quicker with the
assistance of the Foil Drive system. There is a subtle tail kick, which helps keep it out of
the way when you are pumping up, or taking off.
BOTTOM:
Subtle rounded V into flat midsection. The subtle V at the front helps the board on
touchdowns, it won’t immediately stick and bog. The flat planing surface through the
middle allows the board to glide effortlessly with assistance from the foul drive.
DECK:
Concave Deck. We have a concave deck to get the rider as close to the foil as possible
while maintaining the volume needed. It's a soft concave without any drastic edges so it
doesn't trap water on the deck after takeoff. The deck line has been pulled right out to
the edge of the rail edge, making the usable deck area as large as possible.
FINAL STATEMENT:
This is the ultimate board for use with Foil Drive. A fine balance of usability and
performance make this a real winner. If you’re looking for one board to do it all, look no
further.

We asked Paul Gibson CEO of Foildrive what he thought - he is 95kg
" I think they are really good. Nice flat hull and super easy to get going. I'm on the 4 11 at the moment but will probably go to the 4 8 as well.
The 5 3 or 5 6 would be amazing for DW runs as well."
