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.
Features & Design
- 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.
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.
