Learn Foiling

Foiling doesn't need to be complicated. Whether you're choosing your first foil, setting up a Foil Drive, or chasing more speed and glide, we'll help you understand your equipment and choose the right setup for the way you ride.

Choosing Your Foil Drive Setup

More waves. Longer sessions. Your setup.

Start with the way you want to ride. Choose your drive, choose your mast setup, and pair it with the right three-blade High Power motor.

Choose your drive

Assist MAX+

Keep it light. Focus on the waves.

Choose the MAX+ when a lighter setup and a wave-focused riding experience are your priorities.

Fusion

Stay out longer. Bring a little more grunt.

Choose the Fusion for extended sessions and a little more grunt. It carries extra weight, but once you're out riding, the extra time on the water is what you'll remember.

Choose your mast setup

Both drives can be paired with an integrated or retro-fit motor setup. Build around the equipment you have, or start with a complete integrated system.

Cloud IX Integrated Mast

The premium integrated option. The motor cable is routed inside the mast for a cleaner profile.

Pair with the Integrated Mast High Power Motor and three-blade propeller.

Retro-fit your Cloud IX mast

Keep your Cloud IX Carbon or Performance mast and add your drive with the retro-fit motor setup.

Pair with the Retro-fit High Power Motor Kit, including the Universal Mini Pod and three-blade propeller.

Your motor, matched to your mast

Both options on this page use Foil Drive's High Power motor with a three-blade propeller. Choose the integrated motor for the Cloud IX Integrated Mast, or the retro-fit kit for the Cloud IX Carbon or Performance mast.

MAX+ or Fusion. Integrated or retro-fit. We'll help you match the drive, motor and mast to the way you ride, and confirm the battery, package inclusions and price before you order.

Tell us your rider weight, current board and foil, usual conditions, and whether you're chasing a lighter wave setup or longer sessions with more power.
