Foil Drive Base Kits

What is a Foil Drive Base Kit?

A Foil Drive Base Kit is the foundation of your hybrid electric foil assist setup. Each kit includes the core electronics box, motor system, controller, and mounting hardware — everything you need to get started. From there, you choose your preferred battery option and accessories to customise the setup for your foiling style.

Choosing the Right Kit

When buying a Base Kit, consider:

  • Your riding style – surf, wing, pump, wake, or downwind.

  • Runtime vs weight – the Assist Slim is lighter and compact, while the Assist MAX gives maximum power and longer sessions.

  • Board & foil setup – different kits pair better with certain board sizes, foils, and rider weights.
